This Practice describes the requirements for purchasing, fabrication, installation, examination, and testing of general purpose, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) piping and Factory Mutual (FM) approved piping.

This Practice provides the detailed purchase descriptions for bronze and iron gate valve tag numbers included in PIP Piping Material Specifications (PMSs). This Practice also provides a cross reference for bronze and iron gate valve tag numbers to applicable PIP PMSs. Procurement of valves shall include the detailed purchase descriptions given in this Practice, along with the requirements in PIP PNSM0110 and the purchase order.

This Practice provides the detailed purchase descriptions for bronze and iron ball valve tag numbers included in PIP Piping Material Specifications (PMSs). This Practice also provides a cross reference for bronze and iron ball valve tag numbers to applicable PIP PMSs. Procurement of valves shall include the detailed purchase descriptions given in this Practice, along with the requirements in PIP PNSM0110 and the purchase order.

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.

This Practice provides the detailed purchase descriptions for bronze and iron globe valve tag numbers included in PIP Piping Material Specifications (PMSs). This Practice also provides a cross reference for bronze and iron globe valve tag numbers to applicable PIP PMSs. Procurement of valves shall include the detailed purchase descriptions given in this Practice, along with the requirements in PIP PNSM0110 and the purchase order.

This Practice provides guidance for the design and layout of process units and offsites. This guide should be used as a starting point for the development of plans, electronic models, and working drawings for process units and offsites. This Practice should be coordinated with the overall site and offsites layout for geotechnical, grading, zoning, building codes, life safety code, fire codes, other regulatory requirements, and owner’s and insurer’s risk assessment requirements.

This Practice provides the detailed purchase descriptions for carbon steel check valve tag numbers included in PIP Piping Material Specifications (PMSs). This Practice also provides a cross reference for carbon steel check valve tag numbers to applicable PIP PMSs. Procurement of valves shall include the detailed purchase descriptions given in this Practice, along with the requirements in PIP PNSM0110 and the purchase order.

This Practice provides guidelines for the selection, development, and application of Piping Material Specifications (PMSs) and applicable standards for the design of piping systems in the conveyance of gas, liquid, and vapor process and utility streams to ASME B31.3, Process Piping, and ASME B31.1, Power Piping, hereinafter referred to as the Code(s) for the process industry.

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.

This Practice describes the arrangement of PIP valve tag number designations for manually operated valves and requirements for each field within a designation. Designation requirements are provided for both PIP-developed and purchaser developed valve tag numbers.

This Practice provides requirements and details for the design and installation of steam tracing systems. This Practice describes minimum requirements for design, materials of construction, installation, leak testing, and inspection of steam tracing systems for process fluids that require heating to prevent condensation, freezing, unacceptable viscosity, crystallizing, separation, or temperature control. This Practice provides requirements for equipment, piping, and instruments for steam tracing including steam supply piping, steam tracers, tracer traps, and condensate collection.

This Practice provides a system for engineers to identify abbreviated piping terms and acronyms used in PIP piping Practices. This Practice establishes the definitions and interpretations for all piping-related abbreviations and acronyms used in piping Practices. Abbreviations for technical societies, codes, standards, etc., are not included.

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