Colour coding of refrigeration piping
Hello PPL
Can anyone tell me if there are any colour coding for the suction and discharge lines when plotting a drawing. Please help as refrigeration is not quite really my lin of trade?
Tks,
Ray

• Black for components
Refrigeration Colours:

Re: Colour coding of refrigeration piping
The ASME might have the best answer in their piping code sections

Re: Colour coding of refrigeration piping
On Drawings: For R-717 there is a whole list of standard pipe colors and label captions which incorporate those colors in the IIAR bulletins. I believe bulletin 114. We uuse same coloring on our P & ID's leaves the construction boys with less excuse to mess up colors when they are painting bare pipe.
Simple block flow diagrams for halocarbon refrigetion circuits often employ colors per NIKE but mostly you open the side of the unit and everyhing is one of: Black with Insulation; Balck with Paint; oro bare copper...
ANSI 13 supports pipe colors similarly...
Only alternate I know of for drawings comes from ISA and the API. And most of it dates back to 4-pen plotters.
