​This document describes the overall guidelines for selecting an appropriate type of compressor for a specific process service. Guidelines are also provided for lubrication and seal systems.​​​

​This Practice provides guidance for selecting Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) and American Petroleum Institute (API) standards for design, fabrication, inspection, testing, shipment, and documentation of AC squirrel-cage induction motors (250 hp (185 kW) and larger) and synchronous motors. ​

​This Practice describes the concept of a microgrid and distributed energy resources, (DER) as defined below, to serve the energy needs of localized electrical loads. Additionally, this Practice addresses requirements for the possible interconnection of the microgrid to the grid. Design criteria are identified such that the microgrid and DERs are implemented to meet the owner(s), the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), the local Independent System Operators (ISO), and the local Utility requirements for reliability, availability, loading, maintenance, and cyber security.

​This Practice describes the requirements for certification and prequalification of the refractory materials and accessories used to construct monolithic refractory linings in process equipment and piping. It provides a basis for selection, purchase, and quality control of monolithic refractory materials and metal fiber reinforcement. Included are material properties, testing, documentation, storage, and shipping requirements for monolithic refractory lining materials and metal fiber reinforcement used to construct monolithic refractory linings. These materials can be installed by gunning, casting, pumping, ramming, or hand packing as specified. ​

​This Practice provides fabrication/installation details for piping supports used in a hygienic environment requiring clean or CGMP design. This Practice describes the minimum requirements to fabricate or install hygienic piping supports. These are different than traditional piping supports in that they avoid flat surfaces, crevices, and points of harborage. For the purposes of this practice, “Hygienic,” “Process,” or “Hygienic Process” refers to all Hygienic Processes for Food/Beverage/Consumer & CGMP or other products requiring a clean design. ​

​This Practice provides requirements for quality control and quality assurance for the installation of monolithic refractory lining materials. The test and inspection methods include documentation review, installer prequalification, production sample testing, in-progress installation inspection, and final inspection of the completed lining.​

​This Practice describes the minimum requirements for the performance, design, fabrication, testing, inspection, and preparation for shipment of packaged, skid-mounted industrial process refrigeration systems. This Practice is not intended to cover commercial or absorption chiller systems.​

​This Practice describes the basic characteristics of each PIP Piping Material Specification (PMS). Each specification listed is described by pressure class, primary material, corrosion allowance, service type, and joint construction.​

​This Practice provides requirements to the module/equipment transporter during road transportation of modules and equipment. ​

​This Practice describes requirements for supplying, installing, and testing small capacity (<100 kip (450 kN) ultimate axial compressive capacity) helical piles and related items. Depending on load requirement and terminology, these may also be called helical anchors, screw piles or screw anchors. This Practice also describes design requirements if included in constructor’s scope. This Practice does not cover all International Building Code (IBC and ICC-ES-AC358) requirements or dynamic/seismic loading.​

​This Practice specifies methods to be used for monitoring, reporting, weighing, and managing of weight and center of gravity (COG) of onshore modules for process industry facilities. The purpose of this Practice is to convey an understanding of project weight management requirements pertaining to the weight/COG of all project assemblies and components, and to determine what level of monitoring and management should be implemented to ensure a successful execution strategy.​

​This Practice establishes the basic weight data and weighing requirements for supplier provided equipment, skids, and modules for process industry facilities. It defines the weight control documentation and procedures required for equipment supplier provided equipment to be installed permanently or temporarily at any stage of the construction, transportation, integration, installation, or operation of the module. It also defines the weight control documentation and procedures required for module fabricator supplier for bulks/equipment installed permanently or temporarily at any stage of the construction, transportation, integration, installation, or operation of the module. ​

​The PIP membership agreement provides Member Companies ownership of PIP Practices, including authorization to amend a practice for internal use to meet specific needs and preferences. This Practice provides guidance on amending adopted PIP Practices within the limits outlined in the membership agreement.​
