Marking for Oil & Gas Equipment
MARKING OILFIELD AND NATURAL GAS EQUIPMENT AND COMPONENTS
Manufacturers and suppliers of oilfield equipment are regulated by various organizations including American Petroleum Institute (API), American Gas Association (AGA), International (ISO/IEC), and European standards (CEN/CENELEC). Regulations for these manufacturers and suppliers depend on the type of equipment, where it will be used, and the purpose it will be used for.
As discussed, GT SCHMIDT designs and supplies marking equipment to Oil & Gas manufacturers. Our machines for this industry include integration heads, portable hand-held devices, and laser marking machines that are able to mark automatic date codes, sequential serial numbers, manufacturing codes, part numbers, logos, and more. For more information on how our machines can assist with your Oil & Gas needs, call to speak to a member of our team today.
Marking Machines & Engraving Systems
At GT SCHMIDT, we specialize in the design, manufacturing, and integration of industrial marking machines tailored for product identification and traceability applications. Our range includes standard in-stock models, as well as custom-designed marking systems to meet your specific part size and application requirements.
- Traceability: Permanent marks enable the tracking and tracing of parts throughout their lifecycle, from manufacturing to maintenance and eventual retirement. This traceability is essential for quality control, regulatory compliance, and safety assurance.
- Identification: Permanent marks serve as unique identifiers for parts, allowing them to be distinguished from one another and ensuring accurate inventory management.
- Quality Control: Permanent marks can include information such as part numbers, serial numbers, and manufacturing dates, which are essential for quality control and defect tracking. By having this information readily available, manufacturers can quickly identify and address any issues that may arise during production or in-service use.
- Safety and Reliability: Permanent marks contribute to the safety and reliability of machinery used in oilfield projects by providing essential information about the parts used. This information helps maintenance personnel identify and replace components as needed, reducing the risk of in-flight failures and ensuring overall system integrity.
- Durability and Longevity: Our machines are highly durable and can withstand harsh environments, including exposure to chemicals, moisture, and extreme temperatures. This ensures that the markings remain legible throughout the lifespan of the part.
MARKING APPLICATIONS FOR THE OILFIELD AND NATURAL GAS INDUSTRIES
- Instrument tag number
- P&ID number
- Fluid name and nature of fluid
- Process flow diagrams
- Pressure and temperature
- Valve specific requirements
- Name and date of manufacture
- Serial numbers and loop numbers
- Electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic signals
- Logos, graphics, or any custom marks
BENEFITS
Given the extreme temperatures, high pressures, and demanding operating conditions oil field components endure, the tracking identification marks must be permanent and able to withstand harsh environments. Many of these oilfield components also have to pass corrosion and re-certification tests during their lifetime of usage. GT SCHMIDT's laser marking and pin marking machines offer the depth of mark and permanency required to comply with these tough standards and regulations.
- Tracking and traceability of components
- Depth of mark and permanency Required
- Improved processes and quality control
- Clear specification of workflow process
- Proof of performance and compliance
- Tracking for analysis reports
- Re-certification and inspection approval
Components
Due to the sensitive usage, product specification requirements must be marked on all oilfield components including, rotary drilling equipment, pumping units, downhole equipment, drilling production equipment, gas pipelines, and more. Oilfield equipment product specification information is key to tracking the equipment from the time it is manufactured through the life of the parts.
