Practices by Discipline

​This Practice provides requirements for the specification and installation of remotely actuated on-off valves. This Practice describes the requirements for process application, valve and actuator selection, material selection, ancillary equipment, and testing of remotely activated on-off valves (e.g., 2-way, 3-way, 4-way, etc.). This Practice covers non-throttling applications. Throttling applications are considered to be control valves and are covered in PIP PCCCV001 and PIP PCECV001. However, remotely activated on-off valves have many similarities with control valves (e.g., body configuration, materials of construction, internals, etc.). Therefore, this Practice shall be used in conjunction with PIP PCCCV001 and PIP PCECV001. This Practice does not cover process analytical sample valves.  ​

​This Practice provides requirements criteria for level measurement equipment selection and for the design of level measurement systems. This Practice describes the design requirements for differential pressure, radar, ultrasonic, displacement, capacitance, nuclear level measurement systems and switches for level gauges. This Practice does not include requirements for tank gauging systems or weighing systems. ​

T​his Practice provides the design requirements for temperature measurement equipment selection and for the design of temperature measurement systems. ​

​This Practice describes guidelines and background information for the application of remotely activated on-off valves. This Practice includes process application, valve and actuator selection, material selection, ancillary equipment requirements, and testing of remotely activated on-off valves (e.g., 2-way, 3-way, 4-way, etc.). This Practice covers non-throttling applications. Throttling applications are considered to be control valves and are covered in PIP PCECV001 and PIP PCCCV001. However, remotely activated on-off valves have many similarities with control valves (e.g., body configuration, materials of construction, internals, etc.). Therefore, this Practice should be used in conjunction with PIP PCECV001.​

​This Practice describes the minimum requirements for design, fabrication, inspection, testing, shipment, and documentation for high-temperature secondary batteries (salt batteries) for application in electrical stations, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), battery energy storage (BES), or other applications located in indoor or outdoor, nonclassified areas. ​

​This practice defines the purpose and requirements of a Project Execution Plan (PEP) document. The practice provides key considerations to the development of the PEP document and standardized guidance to ensure consistency, clarity, and alignment in documenting how projects will be executed, monitored, and controlled throughout their lifecycle. 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 (EPC) activities for a greenfield facility. This practice has been developed considering a PEP for a large, greenfield EPC project, spanning early front-end loading (FEL) phases through commissioning.   This practice is not intended to provide the format, structure, or style for the development of the PEP but provides considerations to customize and use as project needs dictate.  ​​

​This Practice provides requirements for suppliers providing nickel and nickel alloy gate valves included in PIP Piping Material Specifications (PMSs). This Practice provides the detailed purchase descriptions for nickel and nickel alloy gate valve tag numbers included in PIP PMSs and used along with PIP PNSM0110 for the procurement of valves. This Practice also provides a cross reference for nickel and nickel alloy gate valve tag numbers to applicable PIP PMSs.

​This Practice provides requirements for suppliers providing nickel and nickel alloy check valves included in PIP Piping Material Specifications (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 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. ​

​This Practice provides the minimum requirements for the specification of mechanical and controls functions, design and manufacturing of seat valves in hygienic processes. Mix-proof valve packaged systems may include a broad range of designs for process and Clean-in-Place (CIP) applications. This Practice is intended to address basic requirements that are typical for typical single seat and mix-proof valves. The purchaser shall ensure that specifications are invoked and provided for specific applications that exceed the scope of this Practice. The purchaser may also provide data sheets, P&IDs, process data, and any other supplemental specifications to define the requirements for specific packaged equipment. For the purposes of this practice, “Hygienic,” “Process,” or “Hygienic Process” refers to all hygienic processes for Food/Beverage/Consumer and Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP) or other products requiring a clean design.​

​This Practice describes the general requirements for surface preparation, application, and inspection of architectural protective coatings utilized for substrates used in hygienic processes and facilities. For the purposes of this practice, “Hygienic,” “Process,” or “Hygienic Process” refers to all Hygienic Processes for Food/Beverage/Consumer and Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP) or other products requiring a clean design.​

​This practice and the purchaser’s PIP ELSAP13-D Data Sheet describe the minimum requirements for design, fabrication, inspection, testing, shipment, and documentation for a complete on-line Battery Energy Storage (BES) system. This practice defines the general requirements for the charge and discharge characteristics, the inverter, the battery chemistry type to be utilized, and the BES enclosure. Specific requirements for battery chemistry (e.g., lithium-ion, molten salt, lead acid, etc.) are covered in separate PIP Practices.  ​

​This Practice describes the requirements for design, construction, performance, inspection, testing, shipment, and documentation of low-voltage (up to 600 volt input) AC, 3-phase, adjustable speed drives (ASD) for squirrel cage induction motors. This Practice does not include the motor requirements. If a coordinated package is required, the purchaser shall also include the motor specifications.​
