Identifying parts under hazardous conditions
Tyco Electronics focuses on identification solutions for harsh industrial environments, and has produced a brochure to outline its Critchley, idento and Raychem brand product ranges.
OEMs can produce their own labels in-house
A card system provides OEMs with the opportunity to customise and produce their own identification, information and instruction labels and signs.
These high durability labels meet MIL-STD-1247 standards for hydraulic lines, fuel lines, oxygen etc., and have a continuous operating temperature range -40degC to +163degC.
They are performance tested to RW 2068 - a punishing standard for aggressive fluid and temperature resistance in military and civil aircraft - and will resist exposure to oil, solvents and other fluids commonly used in the aerospace industry.
The range comprises twenty-four international colour-coded adhesive labels, which meet MIL-STD-595B requirements.
Each has a generously sized printable panel and a crystal-clear wraparound 'tail', which self-laminates the identification data.
By printing all the information on pre-coded labels, the need for multiple tape applications is eliminated.
Available in a range of sizes to accommodate tube diameters from 4.78mm to over 50.8mm, TP Tape labels can be supplied either as individual diecut labels or in continuous 30.5 metre lengths held on 63.5mm wide rolls.
They are fully compatible with Tyco's Electronics' proprietary computer software package - a powerful, yet easy to use tool, which enables identification data to be entered manually or downloaded from design databases to single or multiple printers.
