What is the color code for pipes?
Pipe Color Code Chart – ANSI/ASME A13.1
| Label Color | Text Color | Pipe Contents |
|---|---|---|
| Red | White | Fire-quenching fluids |
| Orange | Black | Toxic and corrosive fluids |
| Yellow | Black | Flammable fluids |
| Brown | White | Combustible fluids |
Is standard for pipe line color coding?
Pipe color-coding is not a complicated process, especially if industry standards are used. There are many standards out there from a variety of sources, but the most popular is the ANSI/ASME A13. 1 standard. This standard explains colors, text, size, and placement of pipe marking labels.
What are the different standards of pipe markings?
The standards used across different industries for pipe marking colors are as follows:
- Yellow – Flammable or oxidizing gasses or fluids.
- Red – Fluids used to put out fires.
- Orange – Toxic or corrosive gasses or fluids.
- Green – Any type of water.
- Blue – All pipes that transport air.
- Brown – Combustible gasses or fluids.
What color are water pipes?
COLOR OF PIPE
| Water Lines: | Raw water | Olive Green |
|---|---|---|
| Waste Lines: | Sludge | Dark Brown |
| Sewer (sanitary or other) | Dark Gray | |
| Other Lines: | Compressed Air | Dark Green |
| Gas | Red |
Why are pipelines color coded?
The ANSI/ASME color codes for pipes also leave several color combinations for “user defined” pipes. This is important because it allows facilities to plan out certain pipes that don’t fit in with the normal standards.
What is pipe code?
Piping codes defines the requirements of design, fabrication, use of materials, tests and inspection of pipes and piping systems – what you need to do. A code has a limited jurisdiction defined by the code.
What is colour coding method?
Resistor Color Coding uses colored bands to quickly identify a resistors resistive value and its percentage of tolerance with the physical size of the resistor indicating its wattage rating. The colors brown, red, green, blue, and violet are used as tolerance codes on 5-band resistors only.

What is the purpose of pipe color marking?
Color marking will make identification easier for raw material and fluid that being transport by the pipe. There are various national and international Pipe Color Code Standards are available. (I have used both British and American version to spell color/colour)
What do the different colors of pipes mean on a boat?
There are two different colors used for each pipe on a marine vessel. The main color identifies the group of the substance and what it is used for. This is on either side of the secondary color. That secondary color in the middle identifies what the substance actually is.
What is the ISO 14726 standard for pipe color codes?
The ISO 14726 standard applies to sea vessels and other marine workplaces. One of the most effective ways to make sure people in the facility always know what each color label means is to hang up pipe color code charts. These are effective because employees can reference them before taking any action.
