Practices by Discipline

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.

Packaged Equipment Instrumentation Inspection and Testing Requirements Sheet

This Practice provides procedures for installing ceramic fiber refractory linings in fired heaters and other process equipment. Installation includes steel surface preparation and coating, ceramic fiber installation, and repair of ceramic fiber linings. Ceramic fiber refractories in this Practice include a. Alkaline earth silicate fiber, b. Refractory ceramic fiber, and c. Polycrystalline wool. This Practice does not include installation procedures for mineral wool, fiberglass, or other non-refractory fiber insulation materials.

This Practice provides the mechanical design, fabrication, examination, inspection, and documentation requirements for pressure vessel process trays, tower structured packing, tower random packing, distributors, and related components welded to the pressure boundary.

This Practice provides data forms and the associated instructions for specifying requirements for Stainless Steel and Nickel Alloy pressure vessels for hygienic service 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, PIP VEDV1003 (when required), and PIP VESV1002 to specify information necessary for the manufacturer to design and fabricate a pressure vessel. Polymer and Glass lined vessels are not covered in this scope.

This Practice describes the minimum requirements for the procurement of valves.

This Practice describes the requirements for design, fabrication, inspection, testing, and shipment of air insulated medium voltage metal-enclosed load interrupter switchgear for installation in non-classified areas. This Practice covers assemblies for medium voltage load interrupter switch application for nominal 2.4 kV to 38 kV, 60 Hertz systems. Power circuit breakers are excluded from this Practice.

This Practice provides requirements for suppliers providing carbon steel ball valves included in PIP Pipeline Systems Piping Material Specifications (PMSs).

This Practice provides guidance for the development of programs for the maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation of existing protective coating systems. This practice does not address field touch-up and repair for new construction.

This Practice describes the arrangement of the Piping Material Specification Designators for PIP Hygienic Process Piping and the requirements for each field within a designation. For the purposes of this Practice, “Hygienic,” “Process,” or “Hygienic Process” refers to all Hygienic Process for Food/Beverage/Consumer & Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP) or other products requiring a clean design.

This Practice provides the requirements for equipment, materials, and design services for electrical heat trace systems that use parallel-trace self-regulating type heat trace cable with ground braid. This Practice includes requirements for heat trace cable, monitor-control panel, junction boxes, and temperature sensors. The following are not included in this Practice a. Series-resistance, mineral-insulated, inductance type, and impedance type heat tracing systems b. Panelboards, circuit breakers, and field wiring of heat tracing system components c. Installation of the equipment and materials provided d. Insulation materials or installation
