Choosing a size

Pipe marker size depends on the pipe diameter and the distance from which it will be read. Labels should wrap partially around the pipe or sit flat on its side facing the viewer. Place markers near valves, junctions, wall penetrations and at intervals along long runs.

Standards and compliance

South Africa commonly references SANS 10140 for identification colour markings, including pipelines, and some sites follow their own engineering specification. The contents, colour code and flow direction must come from the customer's engineer or plant documentation. The customer remains responsible for correct identification; we print to the artwork or specification supplied or agreed.

FAQs

Can you tell me what colour each pipe should be?
We print to the colour code your engineer or site specification provides. We do not determine pipe classifications.
Will labels stick to hot pipes?
Standard vinyl is suitable for pipes at normal temperatures. Hot pipes such as steam lines may need specialist materials, which may not be available same-day.
Can arrows be printed on the label?
Yes. Labels can include a flow arrow at one or both ends, or arrows can be supplied separately.
Do you supply in rolls?
We usually supply cut labels or sheets. Let us know your quantities and preferred format.
