Practices by Discipline

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 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 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 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 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.

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.

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 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 describes the minimum requirements for the procurement of valves.
