MARKING
MARKING
 ASME B16.34 – MARKING REQUIREMENTS

Name The Manufacturer’s name or trademark

Cast valves shall be marked with the heat number or heat identification and symbols (letters and numbers) as
Materials
given in the ASTM specifications to designate the material grade.

The valve body shall be marked with the number that corresponds to the pressure rating class designation
except the special class, limited class, intermediate rated – standard class and intermediate rated – special
Rating
class valves may instaed be marked with the valve’s maximum allowable temperature and its associated rated
temperature.

Temperature Temperature markings are not required except as indiacted above.

Size The NPS designation number shall be shown

On valves whose size or sape limits the body markings, they shall be ommited in the following order: a) size b)
Omission of Marking
rating 3) material 4) manufacturer’s name or trademark

Valves having ring-joint end flanges shall have the edge (periphery) of each ring-joint end flange marked with
Ring Joint Flange
letter “R” and the corresponding ring-froove number.

Material for valve bodies, bonnets, and cover plates that meet the requirements for more than one
specification or grade of the specification llisted in Table 1 (ASME B16.34 – 2013) may, at the manuufacturer’s
Multiple Material MArking option, be marked with more than one of the applicable specification or grade symbols. These identification
markings shall be placed to avoid confusions in identification. The acceptabilty of multiple markings shall be in
accordance with guidelines set out in ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section ll, Part D, Appendix 7.
