Practices by Discipline

​The intent of PCCGN001W 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. This specification is intended for use in locations where compliance with Canadian Standard Association (CSA) code requirements is stipulated. ​

​This Practice provides the minimum requirements for design, procurement, fabrication, and commissioning for product recovery systems and a data sheet for system specification. In hygienic applications, a product recovery system uses a projectile to either recover residual liquid product or to clean liquid contaminants and residual material from a piping system. In the oil and gas industry, a similar projectile is referred to as a “pig.” For the purposes of this practice, “Hygienic,” “Process,” or “Hygienic Process” refers to all Hygienic Processes for Food/Beverage/Consumer and Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP) or other products requiring a clean design. ​

​This Practice provides engineers and designers with guidelines for improving constructability of civil, structural, and architectural components of grass root projects, revamp projects, and turnarounds. Engineering judgement should be used to determine which of these guidelines are appropriate for any given project.​​​

​This Practice provides guidance for the design of ceramic fiber refractory lining systems. This design guideline is restricted to man-made fiber, also known as synthetic fiber, suitable for application at operating temperatures above 540°C (1000°F) and used internally in equipment and piping. ​

​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 nickel and nickel Alloy ball valve tag numbers to applicable PIP PMSs.​

​This Practice provides the detailed purchase descriptions for plastic and plastic-lined 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 plastic and plastic-lined ball valve tag numbers to applicable PIP PMSs.

​This Practice describes processes that have been shown to be effective in the proper identification, recording, procuring, storing, and monitoring of critical spare parts. This Practice includes related processes describing responsibilities, competencies, documentation requirements, and management system(s) required to ensure that the correct spare parts are suitable and available for the application for which they are to be used. The included processes apply to the personnel responsible for ensuring the viability and availability of spare parts for systems designated as critical and/or any other equipment or systems, as deemed necessary by an end user at the company or facility level.​

​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 specification is intended for use in locations where compliance with Canadian Standard Association (CSA) code requirements is stipulated. 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. ​​

​This Practice provides installation criteria for instrumentation. This Practice describes requirements for instrument identification, mounting location, instrument support, process connections, and environmental protection. This specification is intended for use in locations where compliance with Canadian Standard Association (CSA) code requirements is stipulated. This Practice does not cover related requirements for the design and installation of instrument piping and tubing, which are addressed in PIP PCCIP001 - Instrument Piping and Tubing Systems Criteria. This Practice also does not cover related piping and tubing material specifications, which are addressed in PIP PCSIP001 - Instrument Piping and Tubing Systems Specifications. This Practice does not cover related requirements for external grounding or power for instruments, which are addressed in Process Industry Practices (PIP) documents under the responsibility of the Electrical Function Team.
