Practices by Discipline

This Practice provides the minimum metadata requirements for technical document exchange. This Practice establishes the definitions and interpretations for document metadata. Metadata definitions and interpretations specific to transmittal letters are defined in PIP DMDDC002. Companies may adopt the Practice for internal use. That is, a company's document-management system may also use the defined metadata identifiers in documents held in the system.

​This Practice provides requirements to contractors for the application of coatings to concrete. This Practice describes the minimum requirements for surface preparation, coatings application, and coatings selection for concrete surfaces.

​This Practice provides guidance to engineers for the application of the PIP insulation Practices. This Practice describes how to use PIP insulation Practices and supporting documentation for the execution of a project. A general description of each Practice is provided. Instructions are provided for the use of the associated data forms.

​This Practice provides requirements for the installer of flexible, removable/reusable insulation covers for hot service insulation systems. This Practice describes the minimum requirements for materials, fabrication, and installation of flexible, removable/reusable hot service insulation covers, ambient to 538°C (1000°F).

This Practice provides guidance for the application of instrumentation to monitor rotating equipment for machinery protection, enhanced performance, and predictive maintenance. This Practice describes the followinga. Typical applications for continuous on-line monitoring of rotating equipment b. Types of monitoring that could be provided and where they are typically appliedc. Installation considerations specific to type of monitoring equipmentd. General calibration and functional checkout considerationse. Documentation recommendationsTypes of rotating equipment covered in this Practice include centrifugal compressors, centrifugal pumps, gears, steam turbines, gas turbines, electric motors and generators, and other shaft driven equipment.This Practice does not cover the design of anti-surge controllers, performance controllers, seal gas systems, and other equipment auxiliary systems. For information on surge detection and anti-surge control, refer to API 670.

​This Practice provides guidance for the design of insulation systems. This Practice describes the types of insulation systems that are indicated by the type code on the Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), data sheets, and other design documents. This Practice provides guidance on insulation design criteria, insulation materials, extent of insulation, determination of insulation thickness, and insulation material properties.

​This Practice describes requirements for design, fabrication, inspection, and testing of metal-enclosed, cable bus assemblies, 1200 amperes and larger, for use on systems operating at 34.5 kV and below, and suitable for indoor and outdoor applications.

​This Practice describes the requirements for a grounding resistor assembly to be used in a 2.4 to 15 kV low resistance grounding system with a neutral available.

​This Practice describes the minimum requirements for design, fabrication, testing, and documentation of three-phase, high-resistance grounding systems for use on medium voltage delta or wye systems installed in nonclassified areas.

​This Practice describes the requirements for design, construction, and testing for NEMA premium-efficiency, horizontal or vertical, polyphase squirrel cage induction motors that are 4000 volts and below, including hazardous (classified) areas.

This Practice describes the design, inspection, testing, shipment, and documentation for VRLAbatteries for application in electrical stations, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) or otherapplications located in indoor, non-classified areas.

​This Practice provides overall guidelines to project engineers on the application of Process Safety Management and how to incorporate these principles into a project.

​This Practice provides supplier with requirements for design, materials, fabrication, finishes, delivery, and installation of blast resistant doors, frames, related hardware, and accessories. This Practice does not include requirements for field-applied finish painting.

This Practice complements PIP STS02465 and assists the engineer in preparation of contract documents for furnishing and installing augered cast-in-place (ACIP) piles.This Practice is modeled on DFI TM-ACIP-4 (Augered Cast-in-Place Piles Manual). For additional information, refer to that manual, FHWA-HIF-07-03 (Geotechnical Engineering Circular No. 8), DFI TM-ACIP-2 (Augered Cast-in-Place Piles Inspector’s Guide), and DFI TM-ACIP-3 (Guideline for Interpretation of Nondestructive Integrity Testing of Augered Cast-in-Place and Drilled Displacement Piles).

​This Practice provides guidelines and describes the design criteria and fiberglass construction methods permitted in ASME/ANSI RTP-1 and Code Section X for fiberglass tanks and vessels. This Practice provides guidance regarding the applications of fiberglass resins and corrosion veil materials and the associated cure systems. This Practice provides guidance regarding site inspections and for the design provisions needed to properly install fiberglass equipment at the site.

​This Practice provides requirements criteria for level measurement equipment selection and for the design of level measurement systems. This Practice describes the design requirements for differential pressure, radar, ultrasonic, displacement, capacitance, nuclear level measurement systems and switches for level gauges. This Practice does not include requirements for tank gauging systems or weighing systems.

This Practice provides the Project Data Sheet for compiling and communicating civil/structural/ architectural design data for an individual project.The Project Data Sheet provides design data for use in conjunction with PIP CVC01015 – Civil Design Criteria, PIP STC01015 – Structural Design Criteria, PIP STE05501 – Fixed Ladders Design Guide, PIP STE05511 – Standard Stairs Design Guide, PIP ARC01015 – Architectural Building Utilities Design Criteria and PIP CVC01017 – Plant Site Data Sheet. The project data may be provided by the owner or developed by the project design team and approved by the owner. Not all information in these documents may be applicable to a specific project. Some information may be applicable to work performed by other disciplines and should, therefore, be issued to all disciplines for their use.
