2. MARKING GENERAL
2.1 Marking for Identification
2.1.1 Marking shall be generally accomplished by either one or combination of casting-out,
forging-out, punching, stampling, stenciling, tagging, labeling and taping
2.1.2 Punching depth shall not exceed 1mm.
2.1.3 Stenciling color shall be black, however it shall be white for piping components with black or
dark surfaces.
2.1.4 Where stamping is used on pressure containing walls, low stress stamps which produce a
round bottom impression shall be used. Such low stress stamps are not required on flange
edges or on raised pads provided for marking purposes.
2.2.2 Basic colors to be used for material identification shall be as shown in below table
Color Name RAL No. Color Name RAL No.

a Orange R 2004 Purple R 4006
Brown R 8024
2.2.3 Brands of paint to be used for material identification shall be selected by manufacturer of
piping materials. Paints containing materials which adversely affect the quality of the steel
such as chloride, sulfide, heavy metal, zinc, aluminum, etc. shall not be used on stainless
steel.
2.2.4 One line shall be painted for one identification and two parallel lines shall be painted for two
identification.
2.2.5 Contractor shall submit a supplemental specification additionally if identification color is not

Note : (*1) Marking items shown on valve body may be omitted. In this case, SECL’s
approval is required.
(*2) Identification marks in Appendix III or IV may be used instead of
material specification. In special case, when the body material differs from the
bonnet material, material specification shall be marked on valve body and
bonnet respectively.
(*3) Punching may be substituted for forging-out if forging-out is
impossible. In this case, SECL’s approval is required.
(*4) Manufacturing number indicating the product history shall be
preferably marked on all cast and forged steel valves. Date of manufacture
may be marked instead of the manufacturing number for carbon steel valves
(excluding those for low temperature service, cast steel valves of class 600 or
above, or forged steel valves of class 900 or above).
(*5) Each valve shall be accompanied by a test label or a quality
guarantee letter indicating that the valve has been carefully made under the
control of the manufacturer and that its quality is guaranteed. Instead of this,
punch marking may be used for this purpose.
