Practices by Discipline

This Practice provides guidelines for the selection, design, and application of fixed gas monitoring detectors installed in process areas to detect the presence of combustible gases, oxygen, or toxic gases. This Practice addresses detectors permanently installed for ambient air monitoring (e.g., leak detection, oxygen depletion). The technologies included are catalytic bead, infrared, electrochemical, paramagnetic. This Practice does not cover portable gas monitoring equipment, process analyzers, or sampling systems. The systems used to perform data acquisition, alarming, and control action are not covered by this Practice because the solutions are diverse and can include stand-alone to advanced multisystem configurations.

This Practice provides guidelines for selecting lubrication methods for bearings in rotating equipment applications.This Practice describes the product-lubrication, grease, wet sump, dry sump, and pressure-fed lubrication methods for lubricating bearings, and provides guidance for applying the methods to various applications.

​This Practice provides guidance for developing a system of company standards based on the adoption of PIP Practices. This Practice provides information and recommendations regarding the benefits of adopting PIP, how PIP is positioned in a standards system, and strategies for adopting PIP based on corporate capabilities.

This Practice provides guidelines for identifying changes or making comments to all types of engineering drawings, documents, lists, etc, specifically where the changes or comments are made by one or multiple people and incorporated into the native or master document by another person. This Practice covers all revisions/modifications of documents, including documents before and after construction. This Practice does not apply to mark-ups made before the adoption of this Practice.This Practice does not address how to implement a Management of Change (MOC) work process; it does address how to communicate mark-ups consistently. This Practice should be applied to any engineering document, paper or electronic, and is not vendor, hardware, or software specific.Although this Practice provides general guidelines for the markup of engineering documents, individual applications may require differing approaches than those recommended in this Practice. Determinations concerning fitness for purpose and matters of application of the Practice to a particular project or engineering situation should not be made solely on the information contained in this Practice. (This guideline is meant just a starting point.)Example document markups in the Appendix of this Practice are not intended to recommend specific design details or requirements, but are included to provide illustrations of various options available to the user.

​This Practice describes requirements for materials, installation, and testing of underground gravity sewers. This Practice includes requirements for pipe, inlet structures, manholes, and appurtenances for sanitary, storm, and industrial process sewers. This Practice does not include requirements for pressurized pipe, double-contained pipe, or emission-controlled industrial process sewers in environmental applications.

​This Practice provides fabrication details and describes the minimum requirements for assembling field junction boxes used for instrument connections.

​This Practice contains installation details for differential 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.

This Practice provides data forms and the associated instructions for specifying requirements for pressure vessels constructed in accordance with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division 1 or Division 2, henceforth referred to as the Code. Requirements that are specific to Code, Section VIII, Division 2 are shown in braces .This Practice is used with PIP VECV1001 and VESV1002 to specify information necessary for the manufacturer to design and fabricate a pressure vessel.

This Practice supplements ASME B73.2-2016, Specification for Vertical In-Line Centrifugal Pumps for Chemical Process. Together, this Practice and ASME B73.2-2016 provide requirements to the manufacturer for design and manufacture of vertical in-line centrifugal pumps. This Practice describes additions, changes, and/or deletions to the requirements in ASME B73.2-2016. The section/paragraph numbers and the associated headings used in this Practice correspond to those used in ASME B73.2-2016. Because this Practice does not take exception to all the requirements in ASME B73.2-2016, the section/paragraph numbers in this Practice may not be sequential.

This Practice supplements API 650, Welded Steel Tanks for Oil Storage. Together, this Practice and API 650 provide requirements for the construction of atmospheric storage tanks.This Practice and API 650 describe minimum construction requirements for the materials, design, fabrication, erection, examination, and testing of aboveground, non-refrigerated storage tanks. This Practice describes additions and modifications made to API 650. In addition, this Practice describes decisions made regarding options offered by API 650. This Practice supplements, but does not supersede, API 650 and any applicable jurisdictional requirements.This Practice covers storage tanks that have design internal pressures of 17.2 kPa (2.5 psig) or less (see API 650, Annex F) and design temperatures less than 260°C (500°F) (see API 650, Annex M).This Practice presumes the use of the API 650 Data Sheet to cover the requirements in API 650, and the Data Sheet, as a supplement, to define the additional requirements of this Practice.
