Practices by Discipline

This Practice provides requirements for inspection and acceptance testing of process analyzer systems and field enclosures. This Practice describes requirements inspection and acceptance tests for process analyzer systems performed as follows a. On process analyzer(s) performed by the OEM b. On the fabricated process analyzer systems and shelter(s) performed by the Analyzer System Vendors (ASV) c. On the installed systems on site as a requirement for turnover to the owner

This Practice provides instructions for preparing a Process Analyzer Bid Proposal Data Sheet, PIP PCSPA004-D, which is intended to provide a standardized format for the minimum information required from each analyzer system vendor (ASV) to requests for quotation (RFQ) for process analyzers. PIP PCSPA004-D simplifies the comparison of multiple bids and ensures uniformity in the comparison both technically and commercially. This Practice should accompany PIP PCSPA004-D when sent to an ASV for RFQ. PIP PCSPA004-D provides for input of the following information a. Cost of systems and components b. Analyzer system project schedule c. Key personnel who will be assigned to the project

This Practice covers minimum requirements for the maintenance of low voltage molded case circuit breakers for both thermal-magnetic and magnetic only circuit breakers​.

This Practice provides requirements for providing and installing heavy industrial chain link fences and gates up to 12 feet (3.6 m) in height. This Practice does not provide requirements for fences and gates related to Homeland Security. This Practice covers materials, fabrication, and installation of heavy industrial chain link fencing using galvanized steel and polymer-coated steel.

This Practice provides requirements for nondestructive examination (NDE) of pressure containing welds on steel pipelines, compressor stations, meter stations, pump stations, and fabricated assemblies. This Practice does not apply to structural welds, ongoing examinations for mechanical integrity, or welds on boiler and pressure vessels.

This Practice provides minimum requirements for analyzing the flexibility of metallic piping systems. This Practice describes piping flexibility analysis parameters and applications, and documentation requirements.

This Practice addresses the reasons and methods for the grounding and bonding of electrical systems and equipment within a process industry environment. IEEE, NEMA, and UL documents form the basis of this guideline. IEC methods and terminology are not addressed in this guideline. This Practice addresses system voltages through 34.5 kV. Refer to the requirements of IEEE Std. 80 for grounding of system voltages above 34.5 kV. This Practice does not address the grounding of DC systems as covered by IEEE Std. 142, uninterruptible power systems as covered in IEEE Std. 142, or temporary protective grounding associated with NFPA 70E. Refer to PIP ELEGL05 for lightning and static protective systems. This Practice does not address the grounding of instrumentation systems and electronic equipment. Section 4.2.3 of this Practice and PIP ELEGS01-F can aid in the installation of the grounding electrode system associated with instrument systems and electronic equipment. This Practice does not cover installation methods for grounding and bonding systems. These installation methods are addressed in PIP ELIGD000 and industry standards such as NFPA 70, UL 647, and IEC documents. Figures are provided as diagrammatical representations of grounding connections and not intended to represent actual field termination connections.

This Practice describes the guidelines and background information for the application of pneumatically actuated control valves. Issues addressed include valve selection, valve and actuator sizing, material selection, flow characteristic evaluation, valve accessories, and consideration of the effects of flashing, cavitation, and noise.

This Practice describes the design requirements for flow measurement systems that include head (differential pressure), velocity, oscillatory, electromagnetic and mass flow meters. This Practice does not cover a. Restriction flow elements and flow switches b. Process isolation (root) valves, secondary transmitters, or process piping c. Custody transfer measurement requirements

This Practice describes minimum requirements for design of civil sitework of process industry facilities at onshore U.S. sites. This Practice covers all work related to preparation of site such as grading, roadways and railroads, and sewer work and related facilities, and all work related to finishing site. This Practice is intended to be used in conjunction with PIP CVC01017 and PIP CVC01018, as applicable.

This Practice describes requirements for furnishing and installing augered cast-in-place (ACIP) piles also called continuous flight auger (CFA) piles. Test piles, pile load tests and pile integrity testing are included and shall be executed in accordance with this specification when required.

This Practice provides guidance for the use of PIP refractory Practices for the execution of a refractory lining project.

This Practice supplements API Standard 661, 7th Edition, July 2013 - Petroleum, Petrochemical, and Natural Gas Industries - Air-cooled Heat Exchangers. Together, this Practice and API STD 661 provide requirements for an air-cooled heat exchanger. This Practice and API STD 661 describe minimum requirements for the design, materials, fabrication, inspection, and testing of air-cooled heat exchangers. This Practice describes additions, modifications, and deletions made to API STD 661. In addition, this Practice describes decisions made regarding options offered by API STD 661. This Practice supplements, but does not supersede, API STD 661 and any applicable jurisdictional requirements.

This Practice provides requirements for the construction of low-pressure, welded vessels that in general meet the philosophy and requirements of Section VIII, Division 1 of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (Code), but do not require Code inspection or stamping. Vessels may be shop or field fabricated. This Practice describes the basic requirements for the design, materials, fabrication, examination, inspection, and testing of aboveground, welded, cylindrical shell, single-wall vessels having a nameplate with an internal and external Design Pressure not greater than 103 kPa (15 psig) at the top of the vessel in the normal operating position. An additional specification may be required to define options covered herein and other specific requirements considering service (startup, normal operation, upset, shutdown), location, maintenance, etc. The documents listed in Section 2.1 shall be used for a complete purchase specification. This Practice is not intended for flat-bottom tanks or API-type field-erected storage tanks. Unless approved by Purchaser, this Practice is not to be used for low-pressure vessels that will contain “Lethal Substances” as defined in Code Endnote 64.

This Practice provides requirements for unloading, stockpiling, hauling, and stringing activities for steel and non-metallic pipes for pipelines in accordance with ASME B31.4 and B31.8.

The intent of PCCGN001 is to provide a checklist during project development to ensure all main areas are covered. It also provides a platform to establish EPC and client agreement in key areas. It is not to provide detailed decisions.
