If your facility has piping systems that carry specialized chemicals or materials or you simply want a customized pipe marking system, creating your own pipe markers is a great option.
Here’s what you’ll need to create your own pipe marker:
1. Solid Pipe Banding Tape: Pressure-sensitive, adhesive-backed pipe banding tape is an economical choice for creating customized pipe markers. Available in a variety of colors, banding tape applies easily to any pipe surface and allows you to create multiple pipe markers from a single roll.
2. Arrow Banding Tape: Arrow banding tape will allow you to indicate the direction of flow of the pipes’ contents. These tapes are available in multiple ANSI-standard colors so matching them with solid pipe banding tape is easy.
3. Permanent Marker: Use fast-drying, permanent marker to identify pipe contents. This allows you to easily mark pipes with appropriate wordings.
4. ANSI Regulations: See my previous blog entries for all of ANSI’s pipe marking regulations, including color, placement and size recommendations.
Now you’re all set to go make customized pipe markers for your facility. Good luck!
