Pipe Color Coding Standards

The document outlines a national building code that standardizes the color coding of piping based on the material being piped. It divides piping into divisions designated by color - red, orange, yellow, green, white/buff, blue/green, brass/bronze, gray, and black. Each color division lists common materials that are piped in those colors, such as red for carbon dioxide and fire service water, yellow for acids and various gases, and green for steam and exhaust systems. The color coding system aims to easily identify the contents of pipes.
