Based on GOST 14202-69. This page is not the original document. Translation may be inaccurate.
By the decision of the Committee of Standards, Measures and Measuring Devices attached to the Council of Ministers of the USSR of February 7, 1969 No. 168, the introduction period was established from 01.01.71.
1. This standard covers identification markings, warning signs and marking plates of pipelines (including connecting parts, fittings and insulation) on the designed, newly constructed, reconstructed and existing industrial enterprises inside buildings, on outdoor installations and communications located on overpasses and in underground channels to quickly determine the contents of pipelines and to facilitate the management of production processes, as well as to ensure work safety.
The standard does not apply to the identification of pipes and conduits with electrical wiring.
2. The following ten enlarged groups of substances transported by pipelines are installed:
3. Color marking and numerical designation of enlarged pipelines groups should correspond to those indicated in Table 1.
| Table 1 | ||
| Transported substance | Samples and color name of marking | |
| Group numeric designation | Name | |
| 1 | Water | Green |
| 2 | Steam | Red |
| 3 | Air | Blue |
| 4 | Combustible gases | Yellow |
| 5 | Non-combustible gases | |
| 6 | Acids | Orange |
| 7 | Caustic | Purple |
| 8 | Flammable liquids | Brown |
| 9 | Non-flammable liquids | |
| 10 | Other substances | Gray |
4. The characteristics of the colors of the identification coloring shall comply with those specified in Annex 1.
5. Fire-fighting pipelines irrespective of their contents (water, foam, fire extinguishing steam, etc.), sprinkler and deluge systems in the areas of shut-off and control valves and in the places of connection of hoses and other devices for extinguishing the fire must be painted red (signal) .
If it is necessary to specify the contents of fire-fighting pipelines, they can be additionally designated by means of marking plates painted in corresponding distinctive colors.
6. The identification coloring of pipelines should be made continuous throughout the surface of communications or in separate areas.
The method of performing the identification coloring should be selected depending on the location of the pipelines, their length, diameter, the number of co-located lines, safety and industrial sanitation requirements, lighting conditions and visibility of pipelines for maintenance personnel and a general architectural solution.
Painting of pipelines by sections is recommended to be carried out in shops with a large number and length of communications, and also in those cases where the working conditions, due to increased requirements for color reproduction and the nature of the architectural solution of the interior, undesirable concentration of bright colors.
Identification color across the surface of pipelines it is recommended to apply at a small length and a relatively small number of communications, if it does not impair the conditions of work in the workshops.
On external installations, the identification of the entire surface is recommended only in cases where it does not cause deterioration of operating conditions due to exposure to solar radiation communications.
7. When applying the identification coloring to the pipelines inside the production premises, it is recommended to paint the rest of the communications surface in the color of the walls, partitions, ceilings and other elements of the interiors against which the pipelines are located. At the same time, it is not allowed to paint the pipelines between the areas of identification color adopted for other enlarged groups of substances.
8. When applying the identification of the areas to pipelines outside the buildings, the rest of the communication surface is recommended to be painted in colors that help reduce the thermal effects of solar radiation on the pipelines.
9. When laying communications in non-flow channels and with non-channel communication, areas of identification coloring on pipelines should be applied within the chambers and inspection wells.
10. Sites of identification coloring should be applied taking into account local conditions at the most important points of communications (at branches, at joints, flanges, at sampling points and instrumentation, in places of pipelines passing through walls, partitions, ceilings, at the inputs and outputs from production buildings and .p.) no less than 10 m inside the production premises and at outdoor installations and 30 - 60 m on the outer main routes.
11. The width of the areas of the identification coloring should be taken depending on the outer diameter of the pipelines (taking into account insulation):
With a greater number of parallel communication lines, the areas of identification on all pipelines are recommended to take the same width and apply them at the same intervals.
With large pipe diameters, the areas of identification coloring may be applied in the form of strips with a height of not less than 1/4 of the circumference of the pipeline.
12. To designate the most hazardous by the properties of transported substances on the pipelines, apply warning colored rings.
The identification color for the warning rings must be as specified in Table 2.
| Table 2 | ||
| Samples of signal colors | Name of signal colors | Property of transported substance |
| Red | Highly flammable and explosive | |
| Yellow | Danger or harmfulness (toxicity, the ability to cause suffocation, thermal or chemical burns, radioactivity, high pressure or deep vacuum, etc.) | |
| Green | Safety or neutrality | |
| Notes. 1. When applying rings of yellow color on the marking color of pipelines of gases and acids, the rings must have black edges with a width of at least 10 mm. 2. When applying rings of green color on the marking color of water pipelines, the rings must have white edges with a width of at least 10 mm. | ||
13. In cases where the substance simultaneously possesses several hazardous properties, designated by different colors, several colors must be applied to the pipelines at the same time.
On vacuum pipelines, except for the distinctive color, it is necessary to give the inscription "vacuum".
14. By the degree of danger to life and health of people or the operation of an enterprise, substances transported through pipelines must be divided into three groups, denoted by the corresponding number of warning rings in accordance with Table 3.
15. The characteristics of the signal colors shall be as specified in Annex 2.
16. The width of the warning rings and the distance between them should be adopted depending on the outer diameter of the pipelines in accordance with Fig. 1 and Table 4.
17. With a large number of parallel communication lines, the warning rings on all pipelines should be of the same width and applied at the same intervals.
18. Gas discharge lines and air blowing, depending on their contents, should have an identification color set for the symbol of enlarged groups, with winding transverse rings of the corresponding signal color.
19. Warning signs should be used in addition to color warning rings in order to designate pipelines that are particularly hazardous to human health and life or the operation of the enterprise, and if it is necessary to specify the hazard.
20. The following substances should be indicated by warning signs: toxic, flammable, explosive, radioactive, as well as other dangerous contents of pipelines (for example, substances that present a hazard during spraying, etc.).
21. The warning signs must be in the form of a triangle. Images should be black on a yellow background.
