This Practice provides pressure testing procedures for pipelines designed and constructed to ASME B31.8 Gas Transmission and Distribution Piping Systems, hereinafter referred to as B31.8, and in accordance with DOT CFR 49 Part 192 Subpart J and ASME B31.4 Pipeline Transportation Systems for Liquids and Slurries, hereinafter referred to as B31.4 and in accordance with DOT CFR 49 Part 195. This Practice describes the procedures, practices, and precautions to be used in pressure testing metallic pipelines in accordance with the Code, and describes requirements that are in addition to those of the Code.

This Practice provides the designator system for identifying PIP Pipeline Systems valve tag numbers for manually operated valves, and the 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 for the installation of pipelines constructed in accordance with ASME B31.8, “Gas Transmission and Distribution Piping Systems” and ASME B31.4, “Pipeline Transportation Systems for Liquids and Slurries.” This Practice covers trenching and excavation for pipelines to be buried below existing grade to a depth of 6.1 m (20 feet) or less.

This Practice provides installation details for refractory anchors and accessories for monolithic refractory, ceramic fiber, and firebrick linings used in equipment and piping. Included are details for anchor assembly, pattern, spacing, and weld attachments.

This Practice provides the minimum requirements for the specification of spray devices in hygienic processes. Spray devices may include a broad range of designs for process applications. This Practice is intended to address basic requirements that are common for typical applications. 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 needed to define the requirements for specific packaged equipment.

This Practice provides requirements for developing data forms for Process Industry Practices (PIP). PIP data forms are used to define project-specific requirements and quantities. Data forms include data sheets, inspection and testing requirements sheets (ITRS), and documentation requirements sheets (DRS). This Practice addresses basic editable documents not requiring software development or maintenance. This Practice may be used for any data forms (e.g., checklists) provided with Practices.

This Practice provides requirements for construction of roadways, area paving and surfacing within plant boundaries. This Practice is intended for surfaces expected to bear at least occasional vehicle traffic but may be specified for other areas as well.

This Practice supplements ACI 336.1-01, Specification for the Construction of Drilled Piers. Together, this Practice and ACI 336.1-01 provide requirements for drilled pier construction. The requirements of ACI 336.1-01, as modified and supplemented by this Practice, are adopted by this Practice for the construction of drilled piers. Common industry terminology may also refer to drilled piers as caissons or drilled shafts.

This Practice provides requirements for design and manufacture of pumps used in the food, consumer goods and pharmaceutical industries. This Practice covers pumps used in the following services a. Direct contact with finished product b. Direct contact with an ingredient or excipient used in formulation of finished product c. Direct contact with final formulation of an active pharmaceutical ingredient d. Used as a part of a Clean in Place (CIP) or Sanitize in Place (SIP) system designed to clean process contact surfaces in any of the above situations The following pump types used in hygienic service are covered by this Practice a. Rotary Pumps i. Rotodynamic a. Horizontal In-line centrifugal b. Vertical In-line centrifugal ii. Positive Displacement a. Lobe/gear/piston positive displacement b. Peristaltic positive displacement c. Screw positive displacement b. Air-Operated Diaphragm Pumps This Practice excludes pumps used in chemical processes in development of bulk active pharmaceutical ingredients. This Practice excludes pumps made to the below specifications a. For services within the capabilities of ANSI/ASME pumps, refer to PIP RESP73H or PIP RESP73V. b. For high power vertical submerged centrifugal pumps, refer to PIP RESP003S. c. For high power horizontal centrifugal pumps for water service, refer to PIP RESP003H. d. Fire water pumps are covered by NFPA 20 and are not covered by this Practice.

This Practice provides requirements for lowering-in pipe and fittings, making final tie-ins and inspections, and backfilling for steel and nonmetallic pipes for pipelines.

This Practice supplements ACI 351.4M-14, Specification for Installation of Cementitious Grouting between Foundations and Equipment Bases (Metric). Together, this Practice and ACI 351.4M-14 provide requirements for supplying, testing and installing nonshrink cementitious grout materials. This Practice is applicable for nonshrink cementitious grout materials installed between foundations and equipment and machinery bases as well as nonshrink cementitious grout materials installed between foundations and structural steel column bases. The requirements of ACI 351.4M-14, as modified and supplemented by this Practice, are adopted by this Practice for supplying, testing and installing nonshrink cementitious grout materials.

This Practice provides component material specifications for instrument tubing systems. This Practice describes tubing system materials for the following services a. Instrument air supply b. Impulse line purge c. Pneumatic signal transmission installations d. Connecting instruments to process piping and equipment
