ANSI Pipe Labeling: Must-Do’s for Pipe Labeling Standards

Color code for quick recognition

Assign specific colors to different pipe contents, such as hazardous materials, fire protection systems or potable water. Consistent color coding simplifies identification and reduces the risk of accidents. Here’s the color-coding system recommended under ASME/ANSI A13.1

Fluid Service	Color Scheme
Fire Quenching Fluids	White on Red
Toxic & Corrosive Fluids	Black on Orange
Flammable & Oxidizing Fluids	Black on Yellow
Combustible Fluids	White on Brown
Potable, Colling, Boiler Feed, & Other Water	White on Green
Compressed Air	White on Blue
Defined by User	White on Purple
Defined by User	Black on White
Defined by User	White on Grey
Defined by User	White on Black

Match length and letter height to pipe diameter

Ensure that your pipe markers are appropriately sized for optimal visibility. Follow these guidelines by pipe size.

Fits Pipe Outer Diameter	0.7" - 1.3" (18 - 33 mm)	1.4" - 2.4" (34 - 61 mm)	2.5" - 6.7" (62 - 170 mm)	6.8" - 10" (171 - 254mm)	Over 10" (Over 254 mm)
Length of Color Field	8 in (203 mm)	8" (203 mm)	12" (305 mm)	24" (610 mm)	32" (813 mm)
Letter Height	0.5" (13 mm)	0.7" (19 mm)	1.3" (32 mm)	2.5" (64 mm)	3.5" (89 mm)

Note: For pipes less than 0.7" diameter, a permanently legible tag is recommended

Place markers in key, high-visibility areas

Position pipe labels on pipes to achieve the best visibility. Install pipe labels below or above the horizontal centerline of the pipe when pipes are located above or below the normal line of vision, respectively. Consider placing pipe markers both near the ceiling and near the floor of your facility. In addition, mark pipes:
