Description / Abstract:
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 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.
