Re: hello people
Henry Ford said it can be any colour you like....
As long as its black!!
But I think there are no standard colour codes.......
How about you start a trend................
Make it nice and rainbow coloured!!

Re: hello people
We painted in the past discharge lines red, the suction lines blue and liquid lines yellow.
It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

I shouldnt joke, Sorry I know a serious question was asked
But it makes sense to have Discharge as red, Yellow or Green for liquid and blue for suctionAny opinions, statements and facts expressed in this message do not constitute legal advice in any shape or form and is given for a general outlook in nature.

Re: hello people
There is an American standard for this from ANSI, but I will have to do some research to dig it up. I have an email into a contractor for a copy.
The actual standard number is: A13.1, "Scheme For Identification of Piping Systems".
This provides the color codes for various types of piping uses; water is normally green, natural gas pipe is orange (I believe), etc.
I will try to provide better information as soon as possible. There is probably a British standard for this also, but I do not know the correct reference number.
IIAR (International Institute of Ammonia Refrigeration) uses the above reference in their refrigeration standards. IIR (International Institute of Refrigeration) may also have something for this.
If your city/country does not have a code for this, I suspect any standard you follow will be acceptable.
The other thing you may want to consider is the use of pipe markers. The color code can tell you what the refrigerant condition is (gas or liquid), but directional arrows help to show the flow also.
The pipe markers can also be purchased to show high pressure or low pressure (liquid or vapor) and the specific use of the pipe for added identification and information.
If you do a web search for ammonia pipe markers you should find many sources for these.

Re: hello people
Here is a link I found to a UK standard for pipe colors. I'm not sure of the age or suitability, but it is one source.
http://www.ppd.uky.edu/ukstd/div15/15190s01.pdf
Here is one that looks like it is based on some British Standards Institute (BSI).
http://www.qp.com.qa/raslaffan/rlc.nsf/58590243e80719d0432569ba00346303/8aeb96ef2a8b11c443256f6a00412404/$FILE/RLC%20CCIP%20REV%20C.pdf
(the link did work when I copied into the browser bar)
If you review these, it looks like they use a single color for the ammonia piping. This is to identify ammonia piping from other piping in a facility. The ANSI standard I referred to in a previous post uses the same logic.
If you want to use individual colors to show the purpose of each line (discharge, suction, or liquid) you should provide a legend in an easily accessible location so that anyone can tell what color is for which purpose.
I will post some of the ANSI colors as soon as I receive them.Last edited by US Iceman; 01-12-2005 at 12:13 AM. Reason: link editing
