OSHA Standard Systems Paint Colors
OSHA Standard Systems Paint Colors
(OP)
I am trying to standardize the systems paint color coding in a number of steam plants we just aquired. Does OSHA have suggested color codes for systems like natural gas, liquid fuel, city water, steam, etc?
Thanks for the help.
Regards,
Jerry

If you search the various standard organizations you will find colors at gasoline terminals, and dye colors for liquid hydrocarbon products, colors for wiring insulation, etc. A recent post indicated that some marine color identifiecations exist. Search for that thread.

In my experience, OSHA does not have color identification scheme, but ANSI does. The ANSI A13.1-1981 Scheme for Identification of Piping Systems addresses your concern by offering a common labeling method for use in all facilities
See this link:

The shade of the color and the location of piping system labels is also important.

The labeling and marking scheme become much more important in a refinery than in an old power plant....
Which plants have you just purchased ?
Are you just designating piping or safety areas of the entire plant ?
