The document summarizes piping color coding standards from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and ASHRAE. The NFPA recommends specific colors for labeling different gas services, including oxygen (green), medical air (yellow), carbon dioxide (grey), and others. Piping labels should appear every 20 feet and in each room. The document also provides information on color coding standards from Indian standards and ASHRAE, in response to a question about industry standards.

ANSI 13.1 National Fire Protection Association has addressed piping labels in the 1999 edition. The
standard states that the gas content of the medical gas piping shall be identified by appropriate
labeling with the name and pressure of the gas. Labeling of the piping should appear every 20 feet and
at least once in each room and each story the piping traverses.

The color codes recommended by the NFPA are as follows: Gas Service Colors (Background/Text)
Medical Air Yellow/black
Carbon Dioxide Grey/black or grey/white
Helium Brown/white
Nitrogen Black/white
Nitrous Oxide Blue/white
Oxygen Green/white or white/green
Oxygen carbon dioxide mixtures Green/white Medical-surgical vacuum White/black
Waste anaesthetic gas disposal Violet/white Other mixtures Colors as above; major gas for
background/minor gas for text Nonmedical air Yellow & white diagonal stripe/black Nonmedical
vacuum White & black diagonal stripe black boxed Laboratory air Yellow and white
checkerboard/black Laboratory vacuum White and black checkerboard/black boxed

From another (the Steam) list:

<<This question is more of a general plant question then steam only. I am


looking for an ASHRAE or other industry standard on piping system color
coding. What I am after is piping colors not ID markers. Does anyone have a
lead on this information.>>
