Document Review & Approval Process

Abstract ↓

Project documentation includes a wide range of internal and external processes, specifications, and drawings, nearly all of which need to be managed throughout all phases of the project lifecycle, because they serve as the basis from which the project should be properly fulfilled. The proper control of documents is critical to ensure the job is performed correctly the first time. The purpose of this Practice is to establish a process to create, revise, review, authorize, approve, access, and use project documentation; and to prevent unintentional use of obsolete documents. This Practice covers project documents under revision control by the project team (both internal and external) for the full lifecycle of the project. Internal and external stakeholder alignment should be established prior to executing the document review and approval process for a given project.

Scope of Work

Abstract ↓

This practice defines the purpose and requirements of a project Scope of Work (SOW) document. The practice provides key considerations to the development of the SOW document that enables the project team to utilize it to properly plan for project execution. The designation “Project,” as delineated within this document, encompasses a spectrum of work scopes that may be as small as engagement of a third-party entity for completing a small design study or may be as large as executing complete engineering, procurement, and construction activities for a greenfield facility. This practice is not meant to provide the format, structure, or style for the development of the Scope of Work but provides considerations to customize and use as project needs dictate.

Electrical Equipment and Systems Field Inspection, Testing, and Commissioning

Abstract ↓

This Practice describes the minimum requirements for inspection, testing, and commissioning procedures for electrical equipment and systems after installation. This Practice provides minimum acceptable values for the testing results and forms for recording inspection and test values. Certain equipment is application-specific, and the testing of such equipment may not be covered by this Practice. Some inspections, tests, and commissioning may require an independent testing organization or an equipment manufacturer’s representative. This Practice does not specify which activities require a third party or designate responsibility for obtaining and coordinating these third parties. These activities, if required, shall be defined in the project scope. This Practice does not cover full compliance inspections required by various codes and regulations but does provide assurance of equipment integrity, safety, and compliance with project-specific documents.

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.

Reading Practices

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.
