PÖPPELMANN GmbH has added to its
Kapsto range of products the new GPN 1070
identification plates for the identification of
hoses and pipes for hydraulic and other fluid
handling systems.
The plates are manufactured from a
largely chemical resistant and impact-
resistant high-density polyethylene and
are available in seven colours, allowing the
permanent marking and rapid identification
of hoses and pipes, even when the latter
are installed in parallel configurations.
The plates’ curved contour permits close-
fitting attachment to outer diameters from
approximately 17 to 30mm.
The new identification plates have a
useful surface area of 40mm length x
20mm width, and can be easily and legibly
marked with permanent markers, resulting
in weatherproof and heatproof markings.
The material also contains laser
sensitive additives, causing a clear
change in colour when hit by a laser
beam and so delivering markings that
are sharply defined, of high contrast,
abrasion-resistant and permanent.
One end of the plate is pointed,
providing the ability to indicate the
direction of flow of the medium. When
used on construction or agricultural
machinery, for example, the plates can be
used to identify the respective functions
of the hydraulic lines, eg lifting, lowering,
right and left.
The identification plates can be
attached easily and rapidly by means of
two conventional cable ties that lie flush
in the grooves provided for them in the
tag. Consequently, even when subjected
to heavy duty conditions and extreme
vibration, the tags will not slip out of
place.
