ASME A13.1 Abandoned Pipe LabelBoth labels meet ASME A13.1 – Scheme for the Identification of Piping Systems. 

 

Who can tell me… 

What does the top label, and what does the bottom label tell us?

 

This is a NEW requirement from ASME A13.1-2020.

4.5 Abandoned Piping

Piping that has been abandoned in place should be identified.

The recommended color scheme is SAFETY WHITE BACKGROUND WITH BLACK LETTERS. A black border should be added to the identification.

When the abandoned piping is protected from corrosion by the addition of a pressurized fluid or contains residual hazardous material, the legend should indicate that.
