Hand Stamps

Hand stamps are the simplest method of marking.

Striking the stamp with a hammer provides the marking force.

Typical Applications:

Cylinder marking: Individual stamps are used to mark cylinders to convey information, as well as conformity and inspection.

Railways: Stamps are issued to members of work teams and inspectors, to mark rails and gauges, to show inspection has been performed as well as identifying responsibility.

Ingot marking: Used in the steel industries, to mark bars and ingots as to origin and traceability.

Gas, oil and water pipes: Individual stamps are issued to both workers and inspectors to record information on large pipes and joints to convey information and to identify responsibility.
