Identification of Control Cables, Control and Measurement Instrumentation and Automation

Control cables may need to be marked with information including: cable number, cable type and section or target device number and KKS data. Each of our solutions for marking control cables are available in several sizes, supporting multiple lines of text lines on the larger sizes. The available marker materials are: PVC (thermal print), ZEREX - halogen-free (thermal print) and acid-resistant AISI 316L stainless steel (laser etched or embossed).

Ideal solutions for the marking and inventory of components in energy facilities are offered by our self-adhesive labels, and steel or plastic engraved plates. They can be glued, hung on a chain, or attached to a pipe with a cable tie. The labels may include letters and numbers, logos and a generated barcode.

KKS (Kraftwerk – Kennzeichen - System) is a data coding and identification system commonly used in power stations. It was created in response to the increasing system complexity and very large numbers of components, equipment and systems in power plants and CHP stations. The adoption of a uniform marking system enables efficient management and processing of data on all equipment and cables operating in the given facility. The KKS number can be embossed or etched on a steel marker or engraved onto a plastic plate. A QR code can be used to hold a large amount of additional information.

The surface of powder-coated cabinets are often uneven. Labels glued to such a coarse surface must be of a suitable thickness and have strong adhesive. Partex supplies labels and plates suitable for this purpose. Plates may also be riveted or bolted in place to ensure a permanent fixture to the cabinet door. We can engrave the identification information for you in a UV-resistant engraved legend plate or stainless steel.
