Dear CJ1001, As far as I know there is no standard for painting flanges. In order to identify different materials we usually have a code. Eg to differentiate between A105 and A182 or A350 etc. they all appear the same from a distance. This paint in the form of bands is applied on the rim of the flanges. In any case never on the Gasket Seating surface. NRP12345
The purpose of ANSI flange standards is to ensure uniform sizing, dimensions fabrication and testing........in otherwords, so that equal flanges will match and give you equal strength.
You can paint them any way you desire.....
There is a standard dealing with uniform color-coding of piping systems. Is this really your question ???

Many manufacturers rely on a product data management (PDM) system that once met their basic data management needs. As they expand their business and develop more complex products, they find their system falls short. Download the guide to find out how to meet your needs with PLM. Download Now
Beating out competitors, PTC has taken the number one spot to earn the Product Leadership Award 2019 from Frost & Sullivan. This award is given to North American PLM solution providers for excellence in digital transformation particularly with discrete manufacturing. Download Now
A lot has changed since the 90s. You don't surf the Web using dial-up anymore, so why are you still using a legacy PLM solution that's blocking your ability to innovate? To develop and launch products today, you need a flexible, cloud-based PLM, not a solution that's stuck in the past. Download Now
Current approaches used to tackle the complexities of a vehicle’s electrical and electronics (E/E) architecture are both cost prohibitive and lacking in performance. Utilizing virtualization in automotive software architecture provides a better approach. This can be achieved by encapsulating different heterogeneous automotive platforms inside virtual machines running on the same hardware. Download Now
