Purchasing Requirements for Control Valves

Abstract ↓

This Practice describes the minimum general requirements for the control valve body construction, actuator, auxiliaries (e.g., positioner, limit switches, etc.), testing, inspection, and documentation. This Practice provides requirements for the format for providing data for each individual control valve, the method to be used for valve sizing, and other design considerations. For Control Valves sizing and selection see PIP PCCCV001 and PIP PCECV001.

This Practice does not include requirements for motor-operated valves, on-off valves intended for emergency isolation, and valves with hydraulic actuators. For On-Off Valves, see PIP PCCCV003, Remotely Actuated On-Off Valves Selection Criteria and PIP PCECV003, Guidelines for Application of Remotely Actuated On-Off Valves.

Acoustic Insulation Systems Specification

Abstract ↓

This Practice describes the requirements for the design, application, and extent of acoustic insulation on piping and equipment operating at high and low temperatures. Systems requiring additional insulation specifications beyond PIP Practices, such as ISO 15665, shall be covered by purchaser's documentation.

Listing of or reference to supporting documents within this Practice does not imply suitability for specific designs.

Comment:   Use of this Practice for contractual purposes requires the purchaser to make specific choices and assemble additional supporting documents.

Guidelines for Minimum and Maximum Flow Rates for Centrifugal Pumps (Universally Applicable)

Abstract ↓

This Practice provides recommended minimum and maximum flow rates for conventional centrifugal pumps (i.e., pumps with mechanical seals) to achieve safe operation while optimizing operating costs. This Practice describes how to use hydraulic and mechanical criteria to determine a recommended safe operating flow range for centrifugal pumps. This Practice does not provide hard limits for a pump's flow range because of factors that cannot be precisely defined.

Pipe Bending Guideline

Abstract ↓

This Practice provides guidance for evaluation, selection, and specification of pipe bends for on-shore metallic pipelines designed and constructed to ASME B31.8 Gas Transmission and Distribution Piping Systems and ASME B31.4 Pipeline Transportation Systems for Liquids and Slurries. This Practice covers the following types of bends:

a.   Manufactured fittings

b.   Induction (hot) bends formed off-site

c.   Cold bends formed on-site

This Practice provides guidance for evaluation of which bend type to select by providing pros and cons based on specific site rights-of-way, pipe size and wall thickness, shipping considerations, pipe ovality, pigging requirements, etc. Additional, more explanatory references recommendations are also provided.

Pig Trap Design Guideline

Abstract ↓

The purpose of this document is to provide guidance for the design and installation, maintenance, and operation of in-service pipeline pigging facilities. A pigging facility permits the operator to run pipeline pigs for corrosion control, in-line inspection, and flow assurance programs.

This engineering practice covers the design and installation of in-service pipeline pigging facilities for all new and existing pipelines. If there are conflicts between this specification, Owner's requirements, Industry standards and regulatory requirement, the most stringent requirements shall apply.

This practice does not apply to temporary construction launchers/receivers or launchers/receivers for offshore use.

The installation of "temporary" pig traps shall be performed under the control of a MOC process that includes operations, engineering and safety design reviews.
