Electrical Insulating Oil Analysis

Abstract ↓

This Practice describes testing procedures used to assess the condition of oil use as an electrical insulation medium in various pieces of electrical equipment such as transformers, switches, circuit breakers, etc. Early detection of problems with electrical insulating oil allows corrective actions to take place before equipment failure or irreversible damage occurs. The condition of the electrical insulating medium is a predictor of the electrical equipment’s health.

Piping Service Index (PSI)

Abstract ↓

This Practice provides guidelines for selecting PIP Piping Material Specifications (PMSs) for various services. This Practice lists common process industry fluid services and the corresponding PIP PMSs which are typically suitable for each service under the conditions listed, if any. The PSI lists common services and corresponding recommended PIP PMSs. The PIP PMS selection recommendations shown in the PSI are based on common fluid services. Before making a final selection of a PIP PMS, design conditions should be compared with conditions shown (if any) in the Remarks column. The effects of other associated variables should also be evaluated. Verification that “soft goods” (e.g., seals, seats, gaskets, packing, etc.) in valves specified in recommended PIP PMSs are appropriate for the actual service is recommended.

Electric Vehicle Charging Station Implementation Criteria

Abstract ↓

This Practice describes the general requirements for implementing an Electric Vehicle (EV) charging station. This includes the design (components, configuration, safety, etc.), shipment, installation, inspection, testing, commissioning, operation, maintenance, and documentation for an onsite EV charging station. Although electric vehicles have been in existence since the late 1800’s, the technology of batteries, industrial manufacturing, and governmental regulations are rapidly evolving in this area. The information presented should help navigate these changes.

Design of ASME B31.4 and B31.8 Metallic Pipeline Systems within Facilities

Abstract ↓

This Practice provides requirements for designing metallic pipeline systems within facilities as defined in ASME B31.8 Gas Transmission and Distribution Piping Systems and ASME B31.4 Pipeline Transportation Systems for Liquids and Slurries [hereinafter referred to as the Code(s)]. This Practice provides requirements for pipeline systems arrangement, design conditions, components, and joints. This Practice shall be used in conjunction with the Code(s). The requirements of this Practice may be more stringent than the Code(s) for the purpose of standardization and not because the Code(s) is considered unsafe. Pipeline systems designed in accordance with other piping codes are not included in this Practice.

Tank Miscellaneous Details

Abstract ↓

This Practice provides fabrication and installation details for well pipes and other miscellaneous tank components. This Practice describes typical fabrication and installation requirements for well pipes, generally constructed of carbon steel, stainless steel, or aluminum components. These well pipes may be used for measuring levels and temperatures, for liquid inlet, for liquid pump-out, for recycle loops, and/or for content sampling in tanks. This Practice provides details for removable and nonremovable well pipe installations. This Practice also provides details for well pipe supports and other components. Unless otherwise noted, flanges refer to ASME B16.5.

Project Estimating

Abstract ↓

This Practice defines the process of initiation and development of cost estimates for projects to ensure consistency and predictability of delivered projects. It provides key elements of the estimating process to enable the project team to deliver an estimate of a quality sufficient to match the agreed expectations between owner and project team. The process outlined covers initiation through establishment of final approved estimate, which becomes the project baseline budget. The cost estimate for a capital project is critically important to all stakeholders. Owners rely on cost estimates to validate the viability of a project’s return on investments through economic analysis. Engineering and construction companies utilize the cost estimate for developing their proposals and negotiating, which are key to securing work and ensuring their profitability. This Practice does not address the subject of cost control of the baselined project budget. The terms “project estimating” and “cost estimating” are used interchangeably.

Jacketed Piping Fabrication and Installation Details

Abstract ↓

This Practice describes the requirements for the design, material selection, fabrication, installation, inspection, and testing of jacketed piping systems. This practice is not a substitute for competent engineering analysis and design based on specific requirements of each project. Engineering should work with an experienced jacketed piping vendor to validate proposed system design and fabrication details.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
