Practices by Discipline

This Practice provides the detailed purchase descriptions for stainless steel 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 stainless steel ball valve tag numbers to applicable PIP Piping Material Specifications.

This Practice provides requirements for manufacturing and testing centrifugal fans. This Practice describes manufacturing and performance requirements for single-stage, general purpose centrifugal process, induced draft and forced draft fans in noncritical service. This Practice does not cover fans in services that involve hazardous gases.

This Practice provides the minimum requirements for the specification of mechanical and controls functions, design and manufacturing of mixed-proof valves and valve matrices in hygienic processes. Mixed-proof valve packaged systems may include a broad range of designs for process and utility applications. This Practice is intended to address basic requirements that are common for typical mixed-proof valves and valve matrices. 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.

This Practice provides guidelines for electrical system analysis used to develop and validate electrical power systems performance, including safety and reliability. This Practice does not provide guidance on the type of analysis to be performed for specific applications. The following items are examples of additional studies which are beyond the scope of this Practice a. Ground grid study b. High voltage substation design analysis c. Insulation coordination studies d. Switching transients e. Flicker f. Telephone Interference Factor (TIF) g. Load shedding h. Motor re-acceleration i. System efficiency

This Practice provides installation criteria for instrumentation. This Practice describes requirements for instrument identification, mounting location, instrument support, process connections, and environmental protection. 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 arrangement of the PIP Piping Material Specification (PMS) designations and the requirements for each field within a designation. Designation requirements are provided for both PIP-developed and owner-developed piping material specifications. A one-page summary of the PIP PMS Designator System specified in this Practice is provided in Appendix D.
