PURPOSE AND USE OF PROCESS INDUSTRY PRACTICES
In an effort to minimize the cost of process industry facilities, this Practice has
been prepared from the technical requirements in the existing standards of major
industrial users, contractors, or standards organizations. By harmonizing these
technical requirements into a single set of Practices, administrative, application, and
engineering costs to both the purchaser and the manufacturer should be reduced. While
this Practice is expected to incorporate the majority of requirements of most users,
individual applications may involve requirements that will be appended to and take
precedence over this Practice. Determinations concerning fitness for purpose and
particular matters or application of the Practice to particular project or engineering
situations should not be made solely on information contained in these materials. The
use of trade names from time to time should not be viewed as an expression of
preference but rather recognized as normal usage in the trade. Other brands having the
same specifications are equally correct and may be substituted for those named. All
Practices or guidelines are intended to be consistent with applicable laws and
regulations including OSHA requirements. To the extent these Practices or guidelines
should conflict with OSHA or other applicable laws or regulations, such laws or
regulations must be followed. Consult an appropriate professional before applying or
acting on any material contained in or suggested by the Practice.
This Practice is subject to revision at any time by the responsible Function Team
and will be reviewed every 5 years. This Practice will be revised, reaffirmed, or
withdrawn. Information on whether this Practice has been revised may be found at

NOTES:
01 Where pipe schedule is shown under “SCH/RAT,” it is adequate for the full flange rating. Where “Calc” is shown, the pressure limit may be lower
than flange rating.
02 All buttwelded component thicknesses shall match pipe thicknesses.
08 Full port valves shall be used only when indicated on the P&ID.
09 Pressure and temperature rating may be limited by certain components permitted by the specification. Refer to manufacturer’s recommended pressure-
temperature restrictions.
26 To be used only when indicated on the P&ID.
44 Refer to Paragraph 323.2.2 and Table 323.2.2 of ASME B31.3 for additional requirements for cryogenic service.
45 Ball valves and gate valves have a cavity relief, therefore they shall be installed with the cavity vent (as indicated on the valve) to the high pressure
side. High pressure side to be indicated on the P&ID.
59 Use branch weld with reinforcement pad when the minimum header wall thickness (specified or measured) at the branch location exceeds xxx where
xxx equals the wall thickness value for the letter symbol shown in the legend. Use full encirclement reinforcement (length equals twice branch pipe
OD) when the wall is less than or equal to xxx.
62 Install in horizontal position with cover up or in vertical position with upward flow.
63 Install in horizontal position with hinge pin vertical or in vertical position with upward flow.
81 Integrally reinforced branch connections are permitted outside the sizes shown in the branch connection tables.
