​This Practice describes the requirements for the design, materials, fabrication, inspection, testing, documentation, and shipment of metal-enclosed, NEMA Class E2 controllers (2001V to 7200V). This equipment is used for the supply, control, and protection of medium-voltage motors.

This Practice is a guideline for developing Overall Electrical One-Line Diagrams (OEOLDs) by engineers and designers. It covers the generation of new OEOLDs and may not apply to the revision of existing OEOLDs.This Practice applies to one-line diagrams that fit the definition of an OEOLD in Section 3. This Practice uses ANSI/IEEE 315 - IEEE Graphic Symbols for Electrical and Electronics Diagrams and IEEE C57.12.80 - IEEE Standard Terminology for Power and Distribution Transformer symbols.The main purpose of an OEOLD is to provide an initial view of the electrical system for use in early design discussions. Then, the OEOLD can be updated as the project develops and kept current to provide a reference document that shows a high level view of the overall electrical system. As a secondary purpose and function the symbols provided for use in a OEOLD are intended to provide basic information. The basic information is shown in visible fields by default. Many OEOLD symbols have hidden or invisible fields that provide extra information or details. The invisible or hiddens fields can be changed to be visible based on owner requirements. This Practice can be applied to CAD systems used for developing OEOLDs, and is not supplier, hardware, or software specific. Electronic native files for the text, symbols, and cover sheets are available from PIP for use in CAD systems and have been developed in AutoCAD 2015. While the symbols can also be developed in Microstation DGN files, the functionality from AutoCAD may not be available in Microstation. Development of project-specific legend sheets is recommended using the PIP native files as a starting point. Additions and/or deletions are permitted to meet project requirements. Drawing borders and title blocks can be altered to be project specific.The guidelines in this Practice provide a balance between showing all data on OEOLDs and making OEOLDs legible and easy to read. Although this Practice describes major components in the electrical system, specific applications may require additional or alternative components. Determinations concerning fitness for purpose and matters of application of the Practice to a particular project or engineering situation should not be made solely on the information contained in this Practice.The OEOLD symbols included in the Appendices of this Practice are not intended to recommend specific design details or requirements. An example OEOLD is included to provide an illustration of how the elements of this Practice are combined into an OEOLD.

This Practice provides general guidelines for the format and content of Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs) for process and utility systems.This Practice covers the development of new PFDs and does not apply to existing PFDs developed before the adoption of this Practice.The Practice applies to all diagrams that fit the definition of a PFD in Section 3.This Practice can be applied to any CAD system used for developing PFDs and is not vendor, hardware, or software specific.Although this Practice provides general guidelines for the development of PFDs, individual applications may require differing approaches than those recommended in this Practice. Determinations concerning fitness for purpose and matters of application of the Practice to a particular project or engineering situation should not be made solely on the information contained in this Practice.Example PFDs in the Appendixes of this Practice are not intended to recommend specific design details or requirements, but are included to provide illustrations of various options available to the user.

​This Practice describes guidelines and background information for the application of remotely activated on-off valves. This Practice includes process application, valve and actuator selection, material selection, ancillary equipment requirements, and testing of remotely activated on-off valves (e.g., 2-way, 3-way, 4-way, etc.).This Practice covers non-throttling applications. Throttling applications are considered to be control valves and are covered in PIP PCECV001 and PIP PCCCV001. However, remotely activated on-off valves have many similarities with control valves (e.g., body configuration, materials of construction, internals, etc.). Therefore, this Practice should be used in conjunction with PIP PCECV001.

​This Practice provides requirements for installing industrial linings. This Practice describes the general requirements for surface preparation, environmental control, and the installation and inspection of liquid-applied internal linings to metal substrates. This Practice does not cover sheet linings and application of linings to piping.

This Practice provides a checklist for use by individuals responsible for ensuring the quality and completeness of an insulation job. This Practice describes the requirements for inspecting insulation by providing an Insulation Inspection Checklist, PIP INTG1000-F. The checklist is designed to apply to both cold and hot insulation systems as well as large-scale projects and individual items. As a result, there are specific items on the checklist that may not apply to all projects.Each section has a line for ranking workmanship. Because workmanship is somewhat subjective, ranking is provided.Comment sections are provided where appropriate.This Practice assumes that individuals charged with making the inspections are experienced in the design and installation of insulation systems and are well-acquainted with the PIP Insulation Practices.The checklist does not provide sufficient information to act as a stand-alone document that would allow an inexperienced person to function as an inspector.

This Practice provides requirements for materials and installation of cold service insulation systems. This Practice describes requirements for cold service insulation materials and accessories, storage and handling of materials, insulation application, extent of insulation, and documentation on the external surfaces of piping and equipment, ambient to -179°C (‑290°F).

​This Practice provides installation details for luminaires and receptacles located in Class I, Division 2 areas, Class II, Division 2 areas, and unclassified areas. This Practice describes the basic assumptions used in developing these details and provides guidelines for their use.Installation details for Class I, Division 1 and Class II Division 1 areas are excluded from the scope of this Practice.

This Practice provides engineers and designers with guidelines for improving the constructability of a project.This Practice describes guidelines for improving constructability of civil, structural, and architectural components of a project. This Practice provides guidelines for grass root projects, revamp projects, and turnarounds.
