Pipe Marker

Pipe marking tapes are important in industries or organizations. It is a critical component of any facility’s labeling. We should mark important information on the pipes and valves. It will pass the information easily to the viewers. Properly labeled pipes and valves can dramatically reduce the risk of injury or damage should a leak or burst occur, as well as reduce any overall incident response time.

There are some standards to place floor marking tapes or any other markers on a place or an object. This is known as ASME/ANSI A13.1 standards. ASME/ ANSI A13.1 standards state that employers must label pipes (pipe labels) to show contents and color code them to indicate what possible hazards could result from that substance. Pipes containing ammonia, marine vessels, and health care facilities each have their own labeling standards.

By referring these standards we should place markers or labels on them. Mainly the pipe marking tapes show that what type of contents are traveling through the pipes. And, to where or in which direction the content is flowing. This will help the employees or the viewers to take precautions in those areas. If they need any self-protection this information will help to do it. Also, no need to place a security person in that area to pass the information to others. It will reduce the cost also.

Functional Properties of Different Floor Tapes

Hazard Tape: Hazard tape is used when you need a strong visual signal that danger is near.

It is most typically seen because of the black and yellow patterned tape on stairs and marking dangerous areas. This marking tape is additionally obtainable in these color combinations: red and white, green and white, and black and white.

Reflective Tape: Reflective safety tape has the flexibility to direct, or reflect, light when it hits the tape. It is effectively utilized in both low light and dark areas. Safety marking tape with a reflective surface is created from metals, prisms, and glass.

This type of industrial floor marker is employed to boost the visibility of the ground markings. It can be used in aisles, on poles, in walkways, in loading docks, on protruding objects, in storage zones, and in other areas.

Non-Skid Tape:

The non-skid tape is ideal in areas where you are trying to eliminate slip and fall accidents. This no-slip tape is often spoken as non-skid, anti-skid, anti-slip, and traction tape. An anti-skid industrial floor marker is a weapons-grade tape that will face up to extreme work environments.

For some situations, yellow and black striped traction tape may be your best choice. For example stairs and edges. Specialty anti-slip floor marker includes: yellow tape with “Caution Watch Your Step” written thereon, glow-in-the-dark traction tape, mop friendly tape, high visibility traction tape, studded anti-slip tape, and barefoot anti-slip tape.

Barefoot anti-slip tapes are primarily employed in showers, offices, locker rooms, and baths.

Studded anti-slip marking tapes may be utilized in very dry or wet, or extremely hot or cold climates. This adorned traction tape is nice in environments with high carts and traffic. It is also utilized in transportation. If the realm has terribly high wet or is continually wet, verify that the adhesive can face up to the wet necessities.

Floor Marking Tape

Floor Marking Tape

Floor marking tapes are used as a warning tape or safety signs. It can communicate to people about the area. Normally floor marking tapes are applying in the hazardous areas. It can help people to understand something about that place and they can take self precautions.

Floor marking tapes are available in different colors, sizes, and different materials. For different applications, we have to choose different floor marking tapes. Similarly, we have to consider the properties of the floor or application area.

Depends on the floor properties, we have to choose floor marking tapes with different materials. floors may be rough or slippery. So need different materials for each application. Sometimes, the handling items on the floor should be considered before choosing the floor marker. Because some acids or chemicals can burn the floor marking tapes. And sometimes, some hot fluids or liquids can remove the adhesion property of the floor marker. 

So we need to consider, application, properties of the materials handling in that area, and materials of the marker, before choosing the floor marker.

Safety Signs

Safety signs are also used for communicating with people about the area or about any special products. It can give some information about itself to people. It will help to take self protections.

Like floor marking tapes, safety signs are also available for different applications. for each application, depends on the purpose we have to choose suitable safety signs. We have to consider the area that we are going to apply a safety sign, before selecting it. Because for each area we need different materials.

If it is a metallic pipe which transport hot items, we need high temperature withstanding safety signs. If it is for a floor, we need to check the floor materials. If it is rough the safety sign material should have high durability. If it is a smooth floor, safety signs should be more adhesive. Therefore before the application, you should consider these things.
