This Practice describes the minimum requirements for gaskets specified in PIP Piping Material Specifications (PMSs). This specification does not cover the purchase of custom gaskets for size ranges or pressure ranges outside the limits of PIP PMSs.

This Practice provides the minimum requirements for construction and installation of electrical power and control systems material and equipment.

This Practice describes design criteria for precast concrete manholes or cable vaults used in conjunction with underground electrical ducts, and installation of cables in underground manholes. Proper design and installation of manholes is essential for safety and reliability of plant electrical services. Basic designs and installation requirements included in this Practice shall be reviewed by site engineering personnel for each new installation to ensure proper application.

This Practice provides the detailed purchase descriptions for nickel and nickel alloy ball valve tag numbers included in PIP Piping Material Specifications (PMSs) 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 PMSs.

This Practice and the purchaser’s PIP ELSAP04-D Data Sheet describe the minimum requirements for design, fabrication, inspection, testing, shipment, and documentation for a complete on-line, UPS system of either a pulse width modulated (PWM) or ferroresonant type. A PWM-type UPS system includes a rectifier/charger, inverter, static bypass switch, manual bypass switches, transformers, and accessories. A ferroresonant-type UPS system includes a rectifier/charger, inverter, constant voltage or ferroresonant transformer, static bypass switch, manual bypass switches, transformers, and accessories.

This Practice describes the minimum general requirements for the control valve body construction, actuator, auxiliaries (e.g., positioner, limit switches, etc.), testing, inspection, and documentation. This Practice provides requirements for the format for providing data for each individual control valve, the method to be used for valve sizing, and other design considerations. For Control Valves sizing and selection see PIP PCCCV001 and PIP PCECV001.This Practice does not include requirements for motor-operated valves, on-off valves intended for emergency isolation, and valves with hydraulic actuators. For On-Off Valves, see PIP PCCCV003, Remotely Actuated On-Off Valves Selection Criteria and PIP PCECV003, Guidelines for Application of Remotely Actuated On-Off Valves.

​This Practice describes the minimum requirements for piping flexibility analysis parameters and applications, and documentation requirements.

This Practice describes requirements for selection and sizing of pneumatically actuated control valves, including requirements for body, bonnet, trim, actuator, accessories, and noise considerations.This Practice does not cover requirements for motor-operated valves, on-off valves, on-off valves intended for emergency isolation, or valves with hydraulic actuators. For these types of on-off valve applications see PIP PCECV003, Guidelines for Application of Remotely Actuated On-Off Valves.
