What is Strap-On pipe marking?
Strap-On Pipe Marking is an innovative solution for marking and identifying pipes in various industries. It is a removable and reusable pipe marking system designed to enhance safety and compliance in demanding environments.
Unlike traditional adhesive-based pipe markers, Strap-On Pipe Marking utilizes high-quality strips made from non-adhesive PolyesPro® material. These strips can be easily secured around pipes using straps or other fastening mechanisms, allowing for quick and hassle-free installation.
The Importance of Straps on Pipe Marking in Hazardous Environments
Pipe marking plays a crucial role in maritime and other industries where pipelines transport hazardous substances. It serves as a visual communication tool, enabling the identification of pipe functions, content, and flow direction. By implementing proper pipe marking, companies can prevent accidents and enhance safety for employees working near piping systems.
Strap-on pipe marking according to ISO 14726: Establishing Consistency in Pipe Marking
To bring consistency to the marking of piping systems, the international standard ISO 14726 provides comprehensive guidance. This standard specifies colors and markings to be used for different types of systems and fluids, ensuring clear identification of piping systems on ships and marine structures. ISO 14726 is widely adopted in the maritime industry, facilitating safety, maintenance, and repair work.
