Practices by Discipline

This Practice provides requirements for suppliers providing nickel and nickel alloy gate valves included in PIP Piping Material Specifications (PMSs). This Practice provides the detailed purchase descriptions for nickel and nickel alloy gate valve tag numbers included in PIP PMSs and used along with PIP PNSM0110 for the procurement of valves. This Practice also provides a cross reference for nickel and nickel alloy gate valve tag numbers to applicable PIP PMSs.

This Practice provides requirements for suppliers providing nickel and nickel alloy check valves included in PIP Piping Material Specifications (PMSs).

This Practice provides requirements for suppliers providing plastic and plastic-lined check valves included in PIP Piping Material Specifications (PMSs).

This Practice provides requirements for suppliers providing plastic and plastic-lined butterfly valves included in PIP Piping Material Specifications (PMSs).

This Practice provides minimum technical requirements for instrumentation and controls for equipment furnished as a package. An option to this Practice may be PIP PCSPK010 - Small, General Purpose Package Equipment Instrumentation Specification. This Practice describes the requirements and provides data sheets for the specification, procurement, fabrication, inspection, and testing of instrumentation, control and associated systems provided as applicable to “packaged equipment” as generally defined in Section 3 of this document. Specific owner requirements are shown on the associated PIP PCSPK001-D Data Sheet.

This Practice describes how to use PIP coatings Practices and supporting documentation for the execution of a project. A general description of each Practice is provided. Instructions are provided for the use of the associated data forms.

Project documentation includes a wide range of internal and external processes, specifications, and drawings, nearly all of which need to be managed throughout all phases of the project lifecycle, because they serve as the basis from which the project should be properly fulfilled. The proper control of documents is critical to ensure the job is performed correctly the first time. The purpose of this Practice is to establish a process to create, revise, review, authorize, approve, access, and use project documentation; and to prevent unintentional use of obsolete documents. This Practice covers project documents under revision control by the project team (both internal and external) for the full lifecycle of the project. Internal and external stakeholder alignment should be established prior to executing the document review and approval process for a given project.

This practice defines the purpose and requirements of a project Scope of Work (SOW) document. The practice provides key considerations to the development of the SOW document that enables the project team to utilize it to properly plan for project execution. The designation “Project,” as delineated within this document, encompasses a spectrum of work scopes that may be as small as engagement of a third-party entity for completing a small design study or may be as large as executing complete engineering, procurement, and construction activities for a greenfield facility. This practice is not meant to provide the format, structure, or style for the development of the Scope of Work but provides considerations to customize and use as project needs dictate.

This Practice describes the minimum requirements for inspection, testing, and commissioning procedures for electrical equipment and systems after installation. This Practice provides minimum acceptable values for the testing results and forms for recording inspection and test values. Certain equipment is application-specific, and the testing of such equipment may not be covered by this Practice. Some inspections, tests, and commissioning may require an independent testing organization or an equipment manufacturer’s representative. This Practice does not specify which activities require a third party or designate responsibility for obtaining and coordinating these third parties. These activities, if required, shall be defined in the project scope. This Practice does not cover full compliance inspections required by various codes and regulations but does provide assurance of equipment integrity, safety, and compliance with project-specific documents.

This Practice provides minimum requirements for qualifying welders in accordance with ASME Section IX Code. Welder qualification tests are given to determine the ability of the welder to make sound welds using qualified weld procedures (WPS). For welder qualification requirements in accordance with API 1104, see PIP PLSC0018.

This Practice provides the minimum Positive Material Identification (PMI) requirements to ensure that only the alloy materials specified in the contract documents are provided in equipment, equipment internals, piping and piping components, and weld consumables.

This Practice describes the requirements for purchasing, fabrication, installation, examination, and testing of general purpose, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) piping and Factory Mutual (FM) approved piping.

This Practice provides details and requirements for anchor fabrication and installation into concrete. Anchors are anchor rod assemblies that include a rod threaded at the two ends, nuts, washers, and anchor plates if required. J-bolts and L-bolts are not included. Three standard lengths are shown for each diameter anchor rod in both U.S. Customary units and Metric (SI) units. This Practice also provides requirements for non-standard anchor rod lengths. The “Comments” shown in boxes in the Practice are provided for use by the anchor design engineer only.

This Practice provides the detailed purchase descriptions for bronze and iron gate valve tag numbers included in PIP Piping Material Specifications (PMSs). This Practice also provides a cross reference for bronze and iron gate valve tag numbers to applicable PIP PMSs. Procurement of valves shall include the detailed purchase descriptions given in this Practice, along with the requirements in PIP PNSM0110 and the purchase order.
