Practices by Discipline

​This Practice provides a checklist for use by individuals responsible for ensuring the quality and completeness of an insulation job. This Practice describes the requirements for inspecting insulation by providing an Insulation Inspection Checklist, PIP INTG1000-F. The checklist is designed to apply to both cold and hot insulation systems as well as large-scale projects and individual items. As a result, there are specific items on the checklist that may not apply to all projects. Each section has a line for ranking workmanship. Because workmanship is somewhat subjective, ranking is provided. Comment sections are provided where appropriate. This Practice assumes that individuals charged with making the inspections are experienced in the design and installation of insulation systems and are well-acquainted with PIP Insulation Practices. The checklist does not provide sufficient information to act as a stand-alone document that would allow an inexperienced person to function as an inspector.​

​This Practice describes the design, inspection, testing, shipment, and documentation for valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries for application in electrical stations, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), or other applications located in indoor, non-classified areas. ​​​

​This Practice describes the minimum requirements to fabricate or install supports for large and small bore piping. The details provide dimensional and engineering requirements for the design of pipe supports. However, the suitability of all supports must be verified prior to use in any application. This practice is not a substitute for competent engineering analysis and design based on the specific requirements of each project.

​This Practice provides fabrication and installation details for piping vents, drains, and instrumentation connections including a. Hydrostatic Test Vents b. Hydrostatic Test Drains c. Valved Vents d. Valved Drains e. Pressure Connections f. Thermowell Connections g. Orifice Flange Tap Connections h. Steam Drip Stations Cross reference Table 1 Piping and Table 2 Pipeline are provided to relate the vent, drain, and instrument connection details to associated PIP Piping Material Specifications (PMSs) for Piping and Pipeline Systems. Cross reference Table 3 is provided to relate the steam drip station details to associated PIP Piping Material Specifications for steam service. ​​​​

​This Practice provides the minimum Positive Material Identification (PMI) requirements to ensure that only the alloy materials specified in the contract documents are provided in equipment, equipment internals, piping and piping components, and weld consumables.

​The intent of PCCGN001W is to provide a checklist during project development to ensure all main areas are covered. It also provides a platform to establish EPC and client agreement in key areas. It is not to provide detailed decisions. This specification is intended for use in locations where compliance with Canadian Standard Association (CSA) code requirements is stipulated. ​

​This Practice provides the minimum requirements for design, procurement, fabrication, and commissioning for product recovery systems and a data sheet for system specification. In hygienic applications, a product recovery system uses a projectile to either recover residual liquid product or to clean liquid contaminants and residual material from a piping system. In the oil and gas industry, a similar projectile is referred to as a “pig.” 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 provides engineers and designers with guidelines for improving constructability of civil, structural, and architectural components of grass root projects, revamp projects, and turnarounds. Engineering judgement should be used to determine which of these guidelines are appropriate for any given project.​​​

​This Practice provides guidance for the design of ceramic fiber refractory lining systems. This design guideline is restricted to man-made fiber, also known as synthetic fiber, suitable for application at operating temperatures above 540°C (1000°F) and used internally in equipment and piping. ​

​This Practice provides the detailed purchase descriptions for nickel and nickel alloy ball 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 ball valve tag numbers to applicable PIP PMSs.​

​This Practice provides the detailed purchase descriptions for plastic and plastic-lined ball 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 plastic and plastic-lined ball valve tag numbers to applicable PIP PMSs.
