Practices by Discipline

The purpose of this Practice is to provide guidance on the proper use of matting and cribbing materials. Matting and cribbing are used to provide support for heavy equipment by distributing the weight of the equipment over a large area to avoid exceeding the bearing capacity of the ground upon which it is placed. This Practice covers general guidance for matting and cribbing and should be used in conjunction with equipment manufacturer’s recommendations, geotechnical consultants, general safety guidelines, and good engineering judgment. If there are conflicts between this specification, owner’s requirements, industry standards, and regulatory requirements, the most stringent requirements shall apply.

This Practice provides minimum requirements for performing pressure tests using a liquid medium on non-reinforced High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) plastic pipe intended for all service types (e.g., hydrocarbon, produced water). This Practice describes the procedures, practices, and precautions to be used in pressure testing plastic pipelines in accordance with DOT CFR 49 Part 192 Subpart J and DOT CFR 49 Part 195 Subpart E.

This document provides guidance for the design and installation of cathodic protection systems to control and minimize external and internal corrosion of metallic pipelines buried or immersed in an electrolyte (e.g., an aqueous or soil environment). Appendix A contains well construction information. Appendix B contains typical installation details. ​

This Practice describes guidelines for specifying requirements for examination and leak testing of metallic pipeline systems designed in accordance with ASME B31.8 Gas Transmission and Distribution Piping Systems. This Practice provides guidelines for specifying requirements for examination of piping materials, components, fabrication, assembly, installation, and associated documentation. This Practice provides guidelines for the extent of examination, criteria for acceptance, and correction of defective work. This Practice describes the types of leak tests, basis for selecting the appropriate tests, and arrangements for testing piping.

This Practice provides the detailed purchase descriptions for carbon steel gate 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 carbon steel gate valve tag numbers to applicable PIP Piping Material Specifications.

This Practice provides the detailed purchase descriptions for carbon steel globe 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 carbon steel globe valve tag numbers to applicable PIP PMSs.

This Practice describes the requirements for the design, fabrication, inspection, testing, and shipping of free-standing outdoor enclosures. This equipment is used for housing low and medium voltage motor controllers and switchgear. The requirements of this Practice shall apply to walk-in and non-walk-in enclosures located in a non-classified area. This Practice is not intended for enclosures that will be located in classified areas. These enclosures are not intended for climate-controlled or pressurized applications. When pressurized or insulated climate-controlled enclosures are required, see PIP ELSSG11.

This Practice provides the detailed purchase descriptions for stainless steel gate 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 stainless steel gate valve tag numbers to applicable PIP PMSs.

This Practice provides engineering guidance for the selection, design, and application of flow measurement systems. This Practice provides guidelines, performance considerations, and preliminary recommendations for the selection of flow meters and their general application. This guideline applies to devices used to measure the flow of single phase, homogeneous liquids, vapors, and gases. This Practice presents commonly accepted meter types but does not limit application choices. Unique or special requirements may require consideration of other meter types. Specific custody transfer guidelines are not provided and are only mentioned with reference to other industry practices.

This Practice provides the minimum requirements for the performance, design, fabrication, testing, and inspection of instrumentation and control systems installed on small, general purpose packaged equipment units. This Practice is not intended for packaged analyzers systems or for safety-instrumented systems (SIS). For instrumentation associated with larger, more complex equipment packages, see PIP PCSPK001. This Practice was previously published as PCSPS001.

This Practice provides the detailed purchase descriptions for low and intermediate alloy steel gate 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 low and intermediate alloy steel gate valve tag numbers to applicable PIP Piping Material Specifications.

This Practice provides the detailed purchase descriptions for intermediate alloy steel globe 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 intermediate alloy steel globe valve tag numbers to applicable PIP PMSs.

This Practice provides the detailed purchase descriptions for nickel and nickel alloy globe 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 globe valve tag numbers to applicable PIP PMSs.

This Practice provides guidelines for the design, specification, purchasing, and installation of process analyzer systems. This requires knowledge, integration, and management of multi-disciplinary engineering skills and resources that may bridge several different organizations. This Practice can be used to assist in assessment and definition of roles and responsibilities for those tasks required for a given project.

This Practice provides requirements criteria for pressure measurement equipment selection and for design of pressure measurement systems. This Practice describes the design requirements for pressure and differential pressure measurement systems excluding DP level and flow measurements.

This Practice provides the purchaser with the method for preparing PIP PCDPK001-R, Packaged Equipment Instrumentation Documentation Requirements Sheet. Packaged equipment suppliers should also become familiar with the symbology used. This Practice contains key information about the requirements of the owner, which are important to clearly communicate to the Packaged System Supplier. The documentation requirements sheet is to be completed by the designer with owner input, review, and approval. This documentation requirements sheet is to be used in conjunction with PIP PCSPK001 and PIP PCTPK001.
