1 296 Pipe MarkersAsme Standard For Pipe IdentificationLThe asme ( ansi ) Standard for pipe identification is a widely used guideline in determining pipe identification requirements. The purpose of the Standard is to assist in identification of hazardous materials conveyed in piping systems and their hazards when released into the environment. Pipes are defined as conduits for the transport of gases, liquids, semi-liquids or fine particulate dust. Brady Pipe Marking Systems Meet the asme ( ansi ) StandardThe Brady Pipe Marking System instantly tells you all you need to of hazardous or Pipe Marking Systems Meet theASME ( ansi ) Size RecommendationsThe Standard also makes recommendations as to the size of letter height and length of color field for various pipe diameters. These recommendations are shown in the Pipe Marking Systems Meet asme ( ansi ) Color RecommendationsUnmarked pipes mean danger to both life and property.
