LDAR Tags

Custom LDAR Tags for Fugitive Emissions Monitoring

Using barcoded LDAR Tags works best with quality Barcode Labels that deliver outstanding readability. Yet many labels fail to provide reliable performance in harsh field environments, leading to costly delays and system disruptions. Common failures include:

• Faded or damaged tags that compromise inspections
  
• Failures under UV exposure, chemicals, or extreme heat
  
• Inconsistent identification across valves and pressure points
  
• Non-compliant tag materials that degrade over time

The Solution: Express Identification Products solves these these challenges with custom-engineered LDAR Tags designed for long-term durability and highest level read rates, delivering flawless performance in even the most demanding environments. Express provides:

• 100% Sequence Integrity: No missing barcodes – and no data collection process disruptions.
• Exceptional Readability: All Express barcodes are verified compliant to ANSI and other applicable standards for contrast, modulation, element dimensionality and ultimately, readability. They are certified to conform to all relevant industry standards. Providing no misreads and quick and reliable data capture.
• Exceptional Durability: Aluminum or stainless steel construction resists effects of abrasion, UV induced fading and corrosion by exposure to chemicals. Tags last for decades in the harshest environments.
• Reliable Data Collection: Barcodes enable rapid fast and efficient data capture, integrating seamlessly with any LDAR compliance or barcode scanning system.
• Compliance & Safety Assurance: Built to meet rigorous standards for process control and leak detection and repair (LDAR) programs.
