Color Code Piping

The document provides a color coding system for identifying different material compositions used in piping and vessel construction. It lists various standardized alloys according to their American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) specifications and assigns each one a basic identifying color. Pipes, fittings, and flanges made from each material composition are all to be marked with the corresponding color for easy recognition. A total of 16 material compositions are outlined along with their assigned colors, ranging from carbon steel and low-alloy steels to various stainless steel and high-alloy compositions.
