Clear and permanent marking of pipes

machinery, for example, the plates can be used to identify the respective functions of the hydraulic lines, eg lifting, lowering, right and left. The identification plates can be attached easily and rapidly by means of two conventional cable ties that lie flush in the grooves provided for them in the tag. Consequently, even when subjected to heavy duty conditions and extreme vibration, the tags will not slip out of place.

PÖPPELMANN GmbH has added to its Kapsto range of products the new GPN 1070 identification plates for the identification of hoses and pipes for hydraulic and other fluid handling systems. The plates are manufactured from a largely chemical resistant and impact- resistant high-density polyethylene and are available in seven colours, allowing the permanent marking and rapid identification of hoses and pipes, even when the latter are installed in parallel configurations. The plates’ curved contour permits close- fitting attachment to outer diameters from approximately 17 to 30mm. The new identification plates have a useful surface area of 40mm length x 20mm width, and can be easily and legibly marked with permanent markers, resulting in weatherproof and heatproof markings. The material also contains laser sensitive additives, causing a clear

change in colour when hit by a laser beam and so delivering markings that are sharply defined, of high contrast, abrasion-resistant and permanent. One end of the plate is pointed, providing the ability to indicate the direction of flow of the medium. When used on construction or agricultural

GPN 1070 identification plates from Pöppelmann are curved for close fitting to hoses and pipes
