8 COLORS, SIGNAGE AND IDENTIFICATION STENCILING
8.1 Process Plant Labelling
Markers for process lines shall have the pipe contents printed on the top line and the line number and
appropriate FROM / TO information on the second line of each marker. All process line markers shall
have a flow direction arrow.
The text format shall be as follows:
Markers for utility lines shall have pipe contents printed on them with flow direction only, no FROM / TO
information unless specifically requested.
Markers placement parameters and sign specifications are summarized on the following COMPANY
drawings;
a. ZX-141-0100 (SCP Process Labelling Standard) as shown on APPENDIX E
b. ZX-141-0101 (SCP Process Labelling Standard) as shown on APPENDIX F
c. ZX-141-0102 (SCP Process Labelling Standard - Sign Details) as shown on APPENDIX G
8.1.1 Marker Text Guidelines
Pipe / Line contents, or the LEGEND, should state the hydrocarbons/chemicals/utilities involved.
In addition, other useful information for the operator should be included, such as:
- NNF (for normally no flow) B31
- INERT C4 FOR STARTUP
- C2=ERC LEVEL PULLDOWN
- HEAVIES PURGE (BUNDLE SIDE)
- PGC 5th STG KICKBACK
etc.
Notes:
1) Where this type of information requires more than 4 to 5 words it may be difficult to get on a
label and in that case a sign should be used instead.

ED WHEN P
ROLL
NCONT
2) Legend names should be checked to ensure they are consistent with names used in
operating manuals and procedures.
The FROM / TO information, on the 2nd line, will usually be the equipment number(s). However,
where specific “jargon” or common names are desired they can be used. For example, “TO
FURNACE AREA” or “FROM BOILERS”, “FROM SEPARATOR #1”, may be more informative
than the associated equipment numbers. In particular, this type of designation should be used to
help ensure that the line labeling is consistent with any designations and/or common names
used in the operating procedures.
8.1.2 Unit Identifiers
Markers should include “unit identifiers” if there are parallel or multiple units/trains/blocks/skids,
etc., with the same processing purpose, as in steam cracking furnaces, parallel/space driers or
reactors or any parallel unit operations. These type of markers help the operator to quickly
recognize what unit he is on, particularly where the parallel or multiple pieces of equipment are
almost identical in design/layout.
These labels can skip the TO or FROM information if it is the same as the unit identifier.
8.1.3 Installation
All pipe markers/labels and signs shall be installed using proven materials and techniques, as
per Marking Services, Inc. standard or equivalent. Installation must be completed such that no
sharp edges or projections are exposed.
Attachment of labels or signs with twisted wire is not acceptable for permanent installations.
Markers which will be on hot lines (over 120 oC) must be noted on the spreadsheet. These labels
will be provided with a stainless steel carrier with insulation/air gap to keep heat off the label
itself.
8.1.4 Equipment Identification
Equipment will be identified by tag number and description. These will be stencilled letters and
number using industrial quality black paint.
Stencil size and placement parameters for various pieces of equipment are shown in APPENDIX
