Terpel Organization Color Code Guide

This document establishes the color code that Terpel uses to identify pipes, equipment, and areas. It specifies the colors assigned to different products that flow through the pipes such as gasoline, diesel, and kerosene. It also describes the sizes and colors of letters and arrows used to indicate the content and direction of flow. The color code follows the RAL system to ensure consistency and clear identification of all elements in Terpel's facilities.

Supplement of information

1. OBJECT

Establish a basic color guide for the identification of establishments


of work where operations and/or processes are carried out that integrate
devices, machines, equipment, ducts, pipes, etc. and other installations
necessary locatives for its operation, according to the recommendation of the
A.S.A (American Standards Association)

2. SCOPE

Understand from the definition of color for machines, equipment, ducts, pipes
and tanks, up to the signaling of areas and identification of elements with their
respective symbols and signs.

3. TERMS AND DEFINITIONS

Code: It is the set of rules for the identification of products, elements or


signs, through polychrome symbolism.

Identification: It is the series of parameters that enable the recognition of a


product or equipment.

Color: It is the substance used to give a specific tint, which is adopted in this
case, as a symbol to indicate an element.

Sign: It is the word or words written that specify a product or a


signaling.

Flow senses: It is the symbol, in this case an arrow, that allows indicating the
direction of a fluid.

TERPEL logo: It is the emblem that identifies the image of the terminal.
distribution of petroleum derivatives. It was adopted in the year 1989,
redesigned in the year 1998 and lately in the year 2006.
Insulation: It is the outer covering or coating installed on the
pipelines, tanks, or equipment to prevent heat transfer or to protect against
personal against burns from direct contact.

Approximately: It is the imprecision resulting from standardizing the units of


English or North American System to the International System SI. It is represented by
the sign (~)

Identification sectors: These are the areas where it should be made clear
elements that allow the recognition of the symbol, of the product and of the
direction of flow of a line, such as: the exterior of the dikes, the outlet of
the changes in direction, the entrance and exit of the viaducts, the sides of the
pedestrian bridges and stairs, the places where the pipe is buried and where
go out again, the platforms, etc.

Font ARIAL 12: It is the typeface adopted for all your printed materials.

International System of Units SI: It is the 'mandatory system of units in


metrology matter, in the territory of the Republic of Colombia," adopted by
the National government, by means of Decree No. 3464 of 1980.

It corresponds to what is stipulated in the ICONTEC-1.000 standard (Colombian Institute of


Technical Standards, 1974) and in the ISO-1.000 Standard (International Organization for
Standardization, 1969)

It is the imperial system of measures in 125 countries, which represent 85% of the
population and world trade.

Spanish: It is the official language of the Republic of Colombia, established by the


Law 14 of 1979 and by its Regulatory Decree 2744 of 1980.

In compliance with clear legal precepts and as a demonstration of a sense of


Belonging to the country, it will be the language used in the National Technical Standards.
The anglicisms, technical terms, or neologisms will be placed in quotation marks.

[Link] SYSTEM.

The Terpel Organization will use the RAL color system.([Link] for

This standard. The identification will be by the number and name of the RAL color.

All color palettes in the RAL system (RAL Classic, RAL) can be used.

5. IDENTIFICATION OF PIPES

[Link](S).

According to the product, the colors will be understood as applied to the pipes or lines in
general and the stripes in particular.

Aluminum color should be used for the exterior pipes of the plants.
Industrials (supplies from one plant to another, pipelines, gas pipelines, multi-pipelines,
etc.)

For pipes in process and/or storage areas, the color must be used.
white.

The differentiation will be obtained with the respective strip, which will be painted the color
specified.

The industrial service pipes (water, air, combustible gas, and vapors),
They will carry the color specified in numeral 5.5.

The insulated pipes will not require exterior painting along their entire length. They
they will be identified by the aluminum or stainless color of the protective sheet or
casing.

The colored cross stripes, if indicated, must have a width


equal to two (2) times the outer diameter of the line, approximating this magnitude
to the nearest whole centimeter.

The stripes should be painted in the identification sectors, in the elbows.


totally and on the sides of the valves.

[Link].

The signs, specifying the content, will be made in three (3) basic sizes.
like this:

a. For pipes with a diameter less than 0.051m (~2”), the signs will be
optional and proportional to the size of the tube.

b. For pipes with a diameter between 0.051 m (~2”) and 0.102 m (~4”), the size
the letters will be 0.025 m (~ 1") and will be located between two stripes with
width of 2", color according to product and distance between stripes of 10". The text
it will be centered between the stripes.
For pipes with a diameter greater than 0.102 m (~ 4") and above, the size
the letters will be 0.051 m (~ 2”) and will be located between two stripes with
width of 2", color as per product and distance between stripes of 10". The text
It will be centered between the stripes.

All letters will be in Arial Bold type.

For pipes with a diameter of 0.137 meters (~5") and above, the triangles
they will have a base = 0.102 m (4") and height = 0.102 m (4").

[Link] SECTORS.

The piping will be identified in two ways:

Strips.
Stripes will be painted perpendicular to the pipe in the specified color for
each of them. The strips will have a width of 2".
Strip will be painted on the straight sections of regular length, every 10 meters (30').
for those of great length, every 100 meters (300').
