Specification for Piping Material Specifications, Valve Descriptions and Supporting Work Processes
This Practice provides the procedures for Function Teams (FTs) creating, revising, and managing Piping Material Specification (PMS) Practices, Valve Description Practices (VDPs), Piping Material Specification Indexes, and related internal function team documents used to support these Practice work processes. These Practices are used by several of the Function Teams with some variation in the usage of the optional or recommended work process portions included in this Practice. The subject Practices of the Piping Function Team (PFT), the Pipeline Systems Function Team (PLFT) and the Hygienic Process Function Team (HPFT) are covered by this Practice.This Practice describes content and work process management procedures that include review and approval of Practice drafts, communications between PIP Office and PIP Function Teams, tracking, reporting, publishing, and archiving of Practice, except as covered by other ADG Practices.This Practice supplements and shall be used in conjunction with PIP ADG001, PIP ADG003, PIP ADG006, PIP ADG010 and various related Function Team decisions and guidelines.The structure and content of these Practices are defined herein to leverage best practices and provide consistency for end users in projects that may span piping systems including different design codes. This is also helpful for PIP Function team members participating on multiple teams and for the PIP staff. These definitions provide the basis for developing new Practices with continuity of work and consistency of content.

Transmittal Letter Preparation Guideline
This Practice provides guidelines for preparation of transmittal letters for exchange of technical documents between different parties on a project. The Practice provides suggested codes that indicate the purpose of creating and exchanging documents and the approval status of documents. The attributes defined here are appropriate for the handling of transmittals in a document management system that electronically exchanges documents.
New Practice
Pipeline Systems Piping Material Specification Designator System
This Practice describes the arrangement of the PIP Pipeline Systems Piping Material Specification (PMS) designations and the requirements for each field within a designation. Designation requirements are provided for both PIP-developed and owner-developed pipeline PMSs. A one-page summary of the PIP PMS specified in this Practice is provided in Appendix D.
