Critical Spare Parts Management Guideline

Abstract ↓

This Practice describes processes that have been shown to be effective in the proper identification, recording, procuring, storing, and monitoring of critical spare parts. This Practice includes related processes describing responsibilities, competencies, documentation requirements, and management system(s) required to ensure that the correct spare parts are suitable and available for the application for which they are to be used. The included processes apply to the personnel responsible for ensuring the viability and availability of spare parts for systems designated as critical and/or any other equipment or systems, as deemed necessary by an end user at the company or facility level.

PCCCV001W

Control Valves Selection Criteria (Canada)

Abstract ↓

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.

External Coating System Selection Criteria for Hygienic Facilities

Abstract ↓

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.
