Microgrid Design Criteria
This Practice describes the concept of a microgrid and distributed energy resources, (DER) as defined below, to serve the energy needs of localized electrical loads. Additionally, this Practice addresses requirements for the possible interconnection of the microgrid to the grid. Design criteria are identified such that the microgrid and DERs are implemented to meet the owner(s), the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), the local Independent System Operators (ISO), and the local Utility requirements for reliability, availability, loading, maintenance, and cyber security.

Monolithic Refractory Material Specification
This Practice describes the requirements for certification and prequalification of the refractory materials and accessories used to construct monolithic refractory linings in process equipment and piping. It provides a basis for selection, purchase, and quality control of monolithic refractory materials and metal fiber reinforcement. Included are material properties, testing, documentation, storage, and shipping requirements for monolithic refractory lining materials and metal fiber reinforcement used to construct monolithic refractory linings. These materials can be installed by gunning, casting, pumping, ramming, or hand packing as specified.

Hygienic Process for Food/Beverage/Consumer and CGMP Products Pipe Support Details
This Practice provides fabrication/installation details for piping supports used in a hygienic environment requiring clean or CGMP design. This Practice describes the minimum requirements to fabricate or install hygienic piping supports. These are different than traditional piping supports in that they avoid flat surfaces, crevices, and points of harborage. For the purposes of this practice, “Hygienic,” “Process,” or “Hygienic Process” refers to all Hygienic Processes for Food/Beverage/Consumer & CGMP or other products requiring a clean design.

Monolithic Refractory Installation Qualification, Inspection, and Testing
This Practice provides requirements for quality control and quality assurance for the installation of monolithic refractory lining materials. The test and inspection methods include documentation review, installer prequalification, production sample testing, in-progress installation inspection, and final inspection of the completed lining.

Packaged, Skid-Mounted Industrial Process Refrigeration Systems Specification
This Practice describes the minimum requirements for the performance, design, fabrication, testing, inspection, and preparation for shipment of packaged, skid-mounted industrial process refrigeration systems. This Practice is not intended to cover commercial or absorption chiller systems.
Technical Revision
Piping Material Specification (PMS) Index
This Practice describes the basic characteristics of each PIP Piping Material Specification (PMS). Each specification listed is described by pressure class, primary material, corrosion allowance, service type, and joint construction.
