Signage for an
efficient turnaround
The plant operability, maintainability and reliability can be increased
using durable signage. Worldwide Identification Specialist Brady
Corporation explains how in a freely available, new white paper
‘Equipment visuals for process operations’.
F
ield operators in the physical plant often face a
labyrinth of pipes and instruments relying solely
on past training and experience to know where
they need to be. Durable signs and pipe markers
can increase the safety and efficiency of professionals in the
field, trying to determine exactly which pipe, instrument,
gauge, valve or pump needs maintenance or renewal.
Brady offers durable signage constructed with researched
and tested materials, adhesives and ink that resist
chemicals, oil, weathering and UV-exposure. These durable
quality signs and pipe markers stay attached and remain
legible in tough conditions so maintenance workers can rely
on them, in the field, to communicate safety precautions
and practical information to efficiently service machinery and
installations.
Durable signs can be used to support compliancy, to increase
safety and to make any oil & gas plant more aligned with
principles from lean manufacturing. Practical applications
include:
• Gauge marking
• Lubrication point identification
• Replacement parts identification
• Equipment, component identification
• Fluid level marking
• Checklists & procedures
• Condition monitoring
• Valves, levers and switch position identification
• Pipe marking
• Lockout/Tagout
