Practices by Discipline

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.

​This Practice describes the requirements for the design, materials fabrication, inspection, testing, and shipping of power centers for housing electrical equipment.

​This Practice provides design considerations to engineers designing liquid containment pits, holding ponds, and basins. It includes civil, geotechnical, and hydrological engineering aspects, specifically addressing pits lined with geomembranes.

This Practice provides requirements for use by a Purchaser for determining the design criteria 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 describes the requirements for the design, materials of construction, inspection and testing of pressure vessels constructed in accordance with Code, Section VIII, Division 1 {or 2}. Guidance is also provided for the development of purchase specifications for the construction of new pressure vessels which meet the philosophy and requirements of Code, Section VIII, Division 1 {or 2}.This Practice also applies to bulk solids product containers, electric immersion process heaters, shell and plate exchangers, shell and tube exchangers, and air-cooled exchangers. See PIP VECBI001 and PIP VESBI002 for the additional requirements specific to bulk solids product containers only. See PIP VESEH001 for the additional requirements specific to electric immersion process heaters. See PIP VECSP001 and PIP VESSP002 for the additional requirements specific to shell and plate exchangers only. See PIP VECST001 and PIP VESST002 for the additional requirements specific to shell and tube exchangers only. See PIP VESAC001 for the additional requirements specific to air-cooled exchangers only.This Practice is intended to be used for the purchase of vessels where the Manufacturer is also responsible for performing detailed design for the vessels in accordance with the Code and PIPVESV1002. If Purchaser also performs a detailed design, the design shall also be in accordance with PIP VESV1002.The following are not covered by this Practice:a.   Standardized pre-designed (i.e., off-the-shelf) vessels (see PIP VESSM001)b.   Vessels with layered constructionc.   Small vessels and low-pressure vessels (see PIP VESSM001 and PIP VESLP001)d.         Process design of trays and other removable internals

This Practice provides requirements for electrical design for instrumentation.This Practice describes the requirements for equipment selection, system design, and installation of electrical supply and wiring to support instrumentation for process measurement and control systems. Both US and international standards are referenced in this document. The user should select the appropriate standards according to the geographical location and regulatory agencies.

​This Practice describes the general requirements for the design and installation of instrument air and process piping and tubing. Analyzers and analyzer sample systems are not covered by this Practice.

​This Practice provides control systems design personnel with guidelines for providing control systems documentation. This Practice describes the general guidelines for control systems documentation for design, supply, installation, checkout or commissioning, and maintenance of instrumentation and control systems.

​This Practice provides the design requirements requirements for temperature measurement equipment selection and for the design of temperature measurement systems.

This Practice provides a system for engineers to identify abbreviated pipeline terms and acronyms used in PIP Pipeline Systems Practices. This Practice establishes the definitions and interpretations for all pipeline-related abbreviations and acronyms used in Pipeline Systems Practices. Abbreviations for technical societies, codes, standards, etc. are not included.

​This Practice contains differential pressure installation details, including liquid, gas, and steam services and includes details for electric or steam tracing of these transmitters. 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.
