Description / Abstract:
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 of 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 of 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.
