BenMark™ Markers BenefitsPipe Markers Role & Importance

In an ever changing world of more stringent regulations, more complex piping systems and shorter time to market, older techniques of marking pipes with paint or stencils are just not adequate anymore.

Pipe Markers Benefits

Dedicated industrial pipe markers allow quick identification of pipe content, flow direction, origin, destination, P&ID schema, etc by using relevant color code and legend.

Such markers, when correctly defined and installed, increase safety, facilitate maintenance, minimize downtime and accelerate commissioning while simplifying regulatory compliance.

Why choose BENMARK Pipe Markers !

BENMARK pipe markers are fully customizable: legend, design, size, to fullfill your specific environment, industry, regional and end-user rules, practices and specifications, including full compliance with ASME/ISO standards.

BENMARK pipe markers are manufactured “on-demand”. Bringing short leadtime and best price-to-value, they cater to your critical deadline and budget targets.

With extended service temperature range, strong chemical resistance, seawaterability and long life, BENMARK pipe markers XG series are the perfect solution for harsh and offshore environments.

Pipe Markers Types & MaterialWhich Pipe Markers ?

Pipe Markers TypesBENMARK Pipe markers come in three variants, all self-adhesives:

Wrap-AroundWith a two inch wrap-around surface, they fully cover the pipes, allow faster installation thanks to reduced pipe surface preparations and provide visibility from all directions.

With increased bonding due to the overlap, they are strongly recommended for marine and offshore, and are mandatory up to 8” pipe diameter in ISO 14726:2008.

Half-wrapWhere access or angle of visibility is limited, these markers cover half of the pipe diameter.

They are also an economical choice to be ISO 14726 compliant for pipe diameter above 8”.

Single-Label Self-AdhesivesFor closed spaces or indoor installations, half or full wrap stickers are sometimes either not practical or not economical.

In such case we recommend to use BENMARK individual self-adhesive labels or color/arrow stripes..

Pipe Markers MaterialBENMARK Pipe markers come in two grades:

XGWith a total thickness of 200µ these perma-nent pressure-sensitive vinyl stickers provide the highest outdoor durability, extended ser-vice temperature range and ease of installa-tion on flat and singly curved surfaces.

They come only in gloss finish and are recom-mended for harsh environment with strong direct sunlight and chemical exposure.

SMWith a thickness of 180µ these permanent pressure-sensitive vinyl stickers are guaran-teed DIN compliant self-estinguishing*.

While suitable for outdoor, they are recom-mended for indoor use where low-flamma-bility is often a mandatory requirement.

They come as standard in mat finish, gloss optional.

Pipe Markers, Marine & Offshore Applications

Pipes identification on ships and offshore installations is of the utmost importance to the safety of employees and to the proper operation and maintenance of connected machines and equipments.

Introduction to ISO 14726:2008

Also referred as “Ships & Marine Technology - Identification Colours for the content of Piping Systems”.

This standard does specify a dual-colour code and provides strong guidelines for the design of pipe markers and for their location, while leaving enough flexibility for customization of labels, shapes and langage used so as to fit each specific situation.

With the increased complexity of petrochem-ical plants, correct labelling of their maze of pipes has become an important part of new and retrofitted installations, their maintenance and in keeping up with regulations.

Introduction to ASME 13.1

Originally an American standard, later adopted in many countries either as-is or with a local standard reference, ASME 13.1 defines in very practical ways how pipe should be marked: legend and marker sizes, suggested font, color coding, and guidelines on where to install such markers.

ApplicationsGHS Rev 5 Specifications& Singapore SS586:2008

Most countries have adopted GHS Rev 5 as part of their standard framework for labelling of storage and transport of hazardous sustances.

GHS Rev 5 is the basis of Singapore SS586, part 1-3 : 2008. The implementation of this standard is now in its last phase, with the mandatory marking of all hazardous substances, including mixtures.

While SS586 is mostly related to road transport, with requirement for Transport Emergency Information Panels [TEIPs), and container storage with Storage Emergency Information Panels (SEIPs), GHS Rev 5 apply to all ways of storing and transporting such substances. More specificaly, rule 1.4.10.5.5.1 “Workplace labelling” explicity states that GHS labels should be applied to “piping systems including valves” and that such installations should ensure clear hazard communication through the “use of displays with GHS symbols, colour and signal words in piping systems and processing equipments”.

GHS Pipe markers Design

Pipe markers design specifications are based on a combination of pictograms, colours, signal words and rules on how to apply and combine these.

With the advent of mixtures, each situation and its related set of markers has become very specific and close to unique.

GHS pipe markers

BENMARK pipe marker generator software allow us to quickly gen-erate your GHS specific labels.

Combined with BENMARK “on-demand” manufacturing, we can deliver in record time hundreds of differents GHS compliant pipe markers to fullfil your requirements.

Materials

BENMARK pipe markers use German manufactured 100 micron thick pressure-sensi-tive polyacrylate permanent adhesive vinyl sticker for their substrate.

BENMARK pipe markers are printed using solvent inks for outdoor durability, with the printed graphics sandwidched between the substrate and the overlamination for maximum protection.

We offer two types of overlamination:

- For harsh conditions, exposure to chemical, heat, sunlight, and long durability, we recommend our Extended Temperature Range and Chemical Resistance XG series. They come with a 100 micron thick gloss clear vinyl laminate. They are more rigid, facilitating installation on pipe and flat surfaces.

- In less challenging environments, we propose our SM series. They come with 80 micron thick matt vinyl laminate.

Pipe MarkersParts Details

Markers dimensions & packing

BENMARK pipe markers come as individual pieces, already cut to your pipe dimensions, thus simplifying your installation and reducing your total cost.

For markers of dimensions below 80cm, they come as flat pieces. Above, they are rolled around a thick cardboard core for easier storage.

Markers Design

While we have a range of BENMARK pipe markers “standard designs”, most of our customers opt for custom design, at no extra costs. This allows them to add identification information and fit to their specific project requirements [langage, etc].

For such custom design, we use our inhouse marker generator software to quickly submit Final Artwork for approval before proceeding for manufacturing. When required and quantity justify it, we will rush a small batch of actual samples for your assessment.
