Understanding AS 1345-1995 “Identification of the contents of pipes, conduits and ducts”

Why Mark Pipes?

• Pipe markers aid in the quick identification of a pipe’s contents – especially in an emergency situation.
• A successful pipe identification program helps employees, contractors and emergency responders to identify a pipe’s contents where there are several pipes side by side.
• Pipe markers also save valuable time when tracing lines are necessary during maintenance.

Where Should Pipe Markers be Located?

• AS 1345 specifies that markers be placed adjacent to all junctions, valves, service appliances, bulkhead and wall penetrations.
• Markers shall be spaced no more than 8m apart except for long, uninterrupted straight runs of external services where spacing shall not exceed 50m.

Marker Design/Layout Requirements:

AS 1345 addresses several elements of pipe marker design including:

Marker Layout. 

• A marker is comprised of a printed word or words on a coloured background with a contrasting border and chevron to show direction of flow.

Marker Colours:

• The legend and background colours of a pipe marker are determined by the pipe’s contents and are specified according to the tables on this page

Colours:

• Additional information about the contents of a pipe is communicated through the use of supplementary warning colours. 
• Supplementary colours are sold separately as a wrap-around “band”, or can be printed on custom markers at the time of manufacture.
