PURPOSE AND USE OF PROCESS INDUSTRY PRACTICES

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.

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

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
