Pipe Marking according to iso 20560-1 standard

Additional Information

 

The main purpose of the ISO 20560-1 standard is to create an international standard that replaces the variety of regulations within different countries and regions. The use of basic identification colors and (warning) symbols will help to identify the pipeline contents and any hazards more quickly.

Installing pipe line marking with clear and universally recognisable formats is essential to global and local safety and maintenance.

the key points

Factors such as chemical type (category), pipe diameter and flow direction determine the style and

The basic elements of a pipe marker

An Industry Standard pipe marker consists of 4 basic elements:

1. Basic identification color
2. Name of the substance/content
3. Flow direction indicators (arrows)
4. Warning symbols, GHS symbols (or both)

Substance categories in color (basic I colors)

 A significant benefit of the ISO 20560-1 standard is the establishment of basic identification colors, the color coding will be used worldwide. This is essential for both industry and emergency services 

There are 3 different sizes of pipe markers determined by

Pipes up to 150mm

Pipes from 150mm ~ 500mm

Pipes from 150mm ~ 500mm

 The basic identification color of pipes up to 150 mm in diameter must be at least 85 mm wide. 

Pipes from 150mm ~ 500mm

Pipes from 150mm ~ 500mm

Pipes from 150mm ~ 500mm

 The minimum width of the basic identification color of pipes with a diameter of 150mm ~ 500mm is 120mm. 

Pipes from 500mm

Pipes from 150mm ~ 500mm

Pipes from 500mm

 For pipes with a diameter of 500 mm or greater, the minimum width of the basic ID color is 200 mm. 

Other guidelines and rules

 

There are a few additional guidelines that determine the layout, positioning and visibility of a pipe marker.

• The minimum letter height is 7mm and symbols must be at least 20mm high

• The minimum height of the flow indicator (arrow) is 10mm

• Pipes that are visible on two sides require (pipe) markings on both sides

• Pipe markings should be placed at key locations such as junctions, valve breaks and branch points, on both sides of walls and other zone boundaries and at the beginning and end of pipe racks etc.
