Identification tape codes indicate the function, contents, hazards, direction of flow, and pressure in the fluid line. These tapes are applied according to MIL-STD-1247. This Military Standard was issued to standardize fluid line identification throughout the Department of Defense. The function of a line is identified by the use of a tape. The tape is approximately 1-inch wide, where words, colors, and geometric symbols are printed. Functional identification markings, as shown in MIL-STD-1247, are the subject of international standardization agreement. The function of the line is printed in English across the colored portion of the tape. Three-fourths of the total width on the left side has the color code. Non-English speaking people can troubleshoot or maintain the aircraft if they now the color code. The right-hand, one-fourth of the functional identification tape contains a geometric symbol that is different for every function. This symbol ensures that all technicians, whether colorblind or non-English speaking will be able to identify the line function.
