ANSI 13.1 Pipe Marking and Labeling

I was just reviewing ANSI 13.1, which is all about pipe marking. There are also ASME piping codes, like ASME B31.1 for Power Piping, ASME B313 for Process Piping and ASME B31.9 for Building Piping. I also know that these apply to steam tunnel assessments, steam & condensate explosions, conduit piping and pipe designs & repairs.

So, why is all this important for your facility safety? ANSI standards are important to running a facility that meets OSHA compliance regulations. Pipe marking and pipe labeling are important for the safety of employees and maintenance managers. You can use a vinyl label printer for pipe marking, which is much better than buying expensive pre-printed labels. These types of printers also let you print on-demand, and produce just the right amount and types of labels that you need, when you need them.

Expect more posts on this subject in the very near future.
