Abstract |
To promote greater safety and reduce chances of error, confusion or inaction, especially in times of emergency, this standard (approved as an American National Standard 16 Nov. 1981) specifies the identification of the contents of piping systems by legends and colour schemes. Types of hazards identified are: flammable or explosive substances, chemically active or toxic substances (e.g. corrosive or productive of poisonous gases), substances at temperatures or pressures, radioactive substances, materials of inherently low hazard, fire-quenching materials. Colour schemes according to ANSI Standard Z.53.1; size of legend lettering. |
