Practices by Discipline

​This Practice describes requirements for selection and sizing of pneumatically actuated control valves, including requirements for body, bonnet, trim, actuator, accessories, and noise considerations. This specification is intended for use in locations where compliance with Canadian Standard Association (CSA) code requirements is stipulated. This Practice does not cover requirements for motor-operated valves, on-off valves, on-off valves intended for emergency isolation, or valves with hydraulic actuators. For these types of on-off valve applications, see PIP PCECV003 - Guidelines for Application of Remotely Actuated On-Off Valves. ​​

​This Practice provides installation criteria for instrumentation. This Practice describes requirements for instrument identification, mounting location, instrument support, process connections, and environmental protection. This specification is intended for use in locations where compliance with Canadian Standard Association (CSA) code requirements is stipulated. This Practice does not cover related requirements for the design and installation of instrument piping and tubing, which are addressed in PIP PCCIP001 - Instrument Piping and Tubing Systems Criteria. This Practice also does not cover related piping and tubing material specifications, which are addressed in PIP PCSIP001 - Instrument Piping and Tubing Systems Specifications. This Practice does not cover related requirements for external grounding or power for instruments, which are addressed in Process Industry Practices (PIP) documents under the responsibility of the Electrical Function Team.

​This Practice describes the criteria for selection of industrial coating systems for insulated and uninsulated substrates of process area, non-process area, structural steel, equipment, vessels, tanks, and piping within hygienic processing facilities. This Practice includes considerations for coatings exposed to a variety of cleaning Zones.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 is not intended to address coating systems for primary containment of product transport and/or storage. Users are to refer to other PIP hygienic process Practices for process equipment and piping. This Practice does not include criteria for the selection of industrial coating systems for insulated items in cyclic temperature service, internal linings, underground substrates, maintenance coating, or color selection. This Practice does not address all issues that are associated with direct product contact environments or all Jurisdictional requirements of regulated processes.​

​This Practice describes the requirements for metal-enclosed power switchgear assemblies employed in three-phase AC electrical systems having a voltage not greater than 1000 volts and located in a non-classified area. This Practice is written for both drawout and stationary breakers.​​​​​​​

​This Practice covers minimum requirements for design, fabrication, inspection, testing, shipment, and documentation, for metal-clad switchgear containing insulated buses, draw-out power circuit breakers, control, instrumentation, and metering, for installation in unclassified areas. This Practice also covers remote monitoring and control requirements.​​​​

​​This Practice provides general guidance on the development, maintenance, and implementation of industrial control system (ICS) cybersecurity policies and procedures. This practice addresses industrial control systems. Non-industrial systems such as building control systems or industrial internet of things (IIOT) devices are out of the scope of this practice.​​

​This Practice provides requirements for furnishing and installing materials and for proportioning, mixing, placing, testing, and curing of cast-in-place plain and reinforced concrete. This Practice supplements ACI 301-20 IN-LB, Specifications for Concrete Construction – Inch-Pound Units, and ACI 301-20 SI, Specifications for Concrete Construction - International System of Units. ​​​

​This Practice provides requirements for design, manufacturing, and testing of impressed current cathodic protection system transformer rectifiers. ​​

​This Practice describes the general requirements for surface preparation, application, and inspection of non-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 outlines a process to evaluate electrical equipment (e.g., transformers, motor controllers, protective relays, etc.) in terms of degree of obsolescence. Based on the degree of obsolescence and the risk presented from equipment not being available to produce product, this Practice outlines a method to determine the timing of refurbishment or replacement of electrical equipment. ​

This Practice provides information for performing an arc flash hazard analysis as required by NFPA 70E and IEEE C2. It provides guidance on the determination of the arc flash boundary, the incident energy at the working distance, and arc flash pressure. This information can be used to mitigate the possibility of an arc flash event through engineering controls or in the proper selection of personal protective equipment (PPE). Arc flash risk assessment, as required by NFPA 70E, is outside the scope of this document.

​This Practice describes guidelines for design and construction of aboveground storage tanks with uniformly supported bottom foundations based on US customary units. Applicable industry codes and standards are referenced, and data required to determine the most appropriate foundation for a tank are presented. In addition, this Practice addresses tank foundations for different types of soil conditions. This Practice also includes information on settlement and tolerances.​

​This Practice describes the guidelines for selection and installation of instrumentation for liquids and solids level measurement. This Practice does not include guidelines for tank gauging systems or weighing systems. ​
