Labelling of pipework
Labelling of pipework
(OP)
I was reading a thread about the labelling of pipe work on here and someone mentioned RFID and that the industry standard is bar coding. I have worked on power stations for a while now and do not recall seeing any bar codes on pipe. Can these bar codes withstand high temperatures at all? When would these bar codes be used? I remember that when pipe work or ducting arrived there is usually just the part name sprayed on with pait?

In the mining, gas, power, water and waste water industries piping is indentified by colour coding and self adhesive labels for service. I have rarely seen anything as specific as bar codes or line numbers attached to piping.

I have been in many plants where you just have to trace down the pipes from some known location, as they don't have any afixed tags.
I have no idea if OSHA has any requirements along these lines.
