Pipe markers are labels that are attached to pipes in order to identify the contents of the pipe and indicate the direction of flow. They may include stock or custom legends and be suitable for with high-temperature pipes, rough or greasy pipes, and pipes with areas of abrasion. Ammonia systems and medical gas distribution systems can be labeled with a pipe marker. Marking pipes helps workers identify pipe contents and understand potential dangers. Marking pipes can also help avoid accidental contamination and eliminate confusion when personnel need to shut down a line.
Many types of labels can be used as pipe markers. Examples include adhesive vinyl labels and clear vinyl labels. An adhesive vinyl label can be used to identify a length of pipe for proper connection and maintenance. An adhesive vinyl label can also provide a mark for a lockout or tag-out device. A clear vinyl label can be applied to surfaces dry and dust-free surfaces. They do not adhere well to greasy surfaces. Clear vinyl labels can also be applied via dry or wet methods; however, for best results, the web method is preferred.

Pipe markers are used with copper pipe, PVC pipe, and steel pipe. Copper pipe is durable, flexible, relatively easy to install, resistant to weather and bacteria, and easy to label. PVC pipe is made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), an inexpensive but versatile plastic. Steel pipe is non-corrosive. Varieties include stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, and galvanized steel. Specialized pipe markers can resist high temperatures, chemicals, and abrasions. These pipe markers do not require surface preparation and provide 360 degrees of visibility.
Pipe markers are in many different industries. They can be manufactured for a specific application, or designed to meet a range of requirements. Preprinted pipe markers are suitable for many pipe marking applications. They can be produced with industrial labelers or purchased from labeling services. Some pipe markers adhere to standards from organizations such as the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) or the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
