This Practice supplements ACI 351.5M-15, Specification for Installation of Epoxy Grout between Foundations and Equipment Bases (Metric). Together, this Practice and ACI 351.5M-15 provide requirements for supplying, testing and installing epoxy grout materials. The requirements of ACI 351.5M-15, as modified and supplemented by this Practice, are adopted by this Practice for supplying, testing and installing epoxy grout materials.
New Practice
Application of ACI 351.4-14, Specification for Installation of Cementitious Grouting between Foundations and Equipment Bases
This Practice supplements ACI 351.4-14, Specification for Installation of Cementitious Grouting between Foundations and Equipment Bases. Together, this Practice and ACI 351.4-14 provide requirements for supplying, testing and installing nonshrink cementitious grout materials. This Practice is applicable for nonshrink cementitious grout materials installed between foundations and equipment and machinery bases as well as nonshrink cementitious grout materials installed between foundations and structural steel column bases. The requirements of ACI 351.4-14, as modified and supplemented by this Practice, are adopted by this Practice for supplying, testing and installing nonshrink cementitious grout materials.

Carbon Steel Ball Valve Descriptions
This Practice provides the detailed purchase descriptions for carbon steel ball valve tag numbers included in PIP Piping Material Specifications and used along with PIP PNSM0110 for the procurement of valves. This Practice also provides a cross reference for carbon steel ball valve tag numbers to applicable PIP Piping Material Specifications (PMSs).
Technical Revision
Application of ASME B73.1 – 2020 Specification for Horizontal End Suction Centrifugal Pumps for Chemical Process
Scope The purpose of this Practice is to specify the requirements for design and manufacture of horizontal end suction centrifugal pumps. The requirements in this Practice are modifications, additions, and/or deletions (exceptions) to the requirements in ASME B73.1 - 2020. The section/paragraph numbers and the associated headings used in this Practice correspond to the ones used in ASME B73.1. Since this Practice does not take exception to all the requirements in ASME B73.1, the section/paragraph numbers in this Practice may not be sequential. Data sheets PIP RESP73 D and PIP RESP73-DM, appended, may be used to select options for ordering the pumps specified in this Practice. This practice is intended for chemical and hydrocarbon services and does not cover pumps sealed with packing. For general water services that fall out of the limitations of this practice use PIP RESP003H.

Electric Motor Voltage Dip Impact Mitigation
Electrical systems will experience electrical events in the form of voltage dips and outages. Depending on the magnitude and duration of these electrical events, electric motors can drop offline. The unexpected loss of an electric motor in a production unit can cause personnel safety issues, environmental issues, and loss profit opportunities (LPO). This Practice provides information which can be used to develop the basic premises on which to implement a voltage dip impact mitigation program to help overcome the adverse effects of production units dropping offline. The voltage dip impact mitigation program addresses the application of both under-voltage ride-through and under-voltage restart capabilities which should be added to the controls of electrical motors.
New Practice
Pressure Transmitter Installation Details
This Practice provides details for the installation of pressure transmitters in liquid, gas and steam services. This Practice contains installation details for pressure transmitters in liquid level service and includes details for electric or steam tracing of these installations. These details describe the base instrument installations. The bill of material provided with each detail is generic and is complementary to PIP PCSIP001- Instrument Piping and Tubing Systems Specifications
