​This Practice provides overall guidelines on the application of Process Safety Management and how to incorporate these principles into a project. ​

​This Practice describes the minimum requirements for design, fabrication, inspection, testing, shipment, and documentation for a Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Energy system. The Solar PV Energy system consists of a Solar PV Array, which produces DC power. The DC power can connect directly to a DC grid, or it can be connected to an AC grid with the use of an inverter that converts the DC power from the Solar PV Array to AC power. The Solar PV Energy system described in this Practice is intended for use in commercial or industrial applications. It is not intended for use in residential applications.

​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.​
