Piping Systems Identification ANSI

The standard addresses this concern by offering a common labeling method for use in all facilities. Ensure the labeling of pipes to communicate contents and provide information such as hazards, temperatures, and pressmes. Use arrows to show the direction the material flows. High-hazard materials use black characters on a yellow background.
