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.

1. Introduction

1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this Practice is to explain the use of Process Industry Practices (PIP)
insulation documents.

1.2 Scope
This Practice provides definition of terms, an explanation of the PIP insulation
document numbering system, a description of how to use PIP document types, and an
example of how PIP insulation practices are used throughout the execution of a
project.

2. Definitions

INE (Engineering Design Practice): Defines technical requirements for selection and design
of insulation systems

ING (General Practice): Provides a tutorial style explanation of the PIP document process

INI (Installation Details): Depicts physical installation of insulation systems

INS (Specification Practice): Provides basic technical requirements for insulation materials
and insulation systems

INT (Inspection Checklist): Provides guidance to ensure quality and completeness of


installation

Purchaser: Owner or the Owner’s designated agent

3. Numbering System

3.1 The numbering system of PIP insulation practices consists of eight alphanumeric
characters.
Examples: PIP INEG1000, PIP INGG1000, PIP INIH1000, PIP INSH1000
3.2 The first two characters designate the discipline team.
IN - Insulation
3.3 The third character designates the document type.
G - General
E - Engineering Design
I - Installation
S - Specification
T - Quality Assurance

April 1999 Insulation Document Use Guideline

3.4 The fourth character designates the service category.


A - Acoustical Insulation
C - Cold Insulation
D - Duct and Breeching
G - General
H - Hot Insulation
R - Removable/Reusable Insulation Covers
T - Storage Tank Insulation
U - Underground Insulation
3.5 The fifth through eighth characters designate sequential document numbers.

4. How to Use This Practice

PIP insulation practices represent proven insulation practices for the process industry. Systems
having special requirements such as heat sensitive chemicals, chemicals subject to autoignition
and extreme temperature cycling, fire protection, and fireproofing may not be covered by these
practices.

4.1 The Purchaser determines the purpose of the insulation and uses PIP INEG1000 to
assign insulation type codes. A ranking matrix in PIP INEG1000 provides assistance
in selecting materials.
4.2 The Purchaser may use a suggested extent of insulation provided in PIP INSH2001 or
PIP INSC2001 as is or may make modifications to define the required extent of
insulation.
Note: Extent of insulation is defined as those items or systems that are to be
insulated under requirements of a given type code.
4.3 The Purchaser uses PIP INSH1001 and PIP INSC1001 to describe the surfaces to be
insulated and the materials to be used. Surface description can be generic or detailed,
and the Purchaser shall determine the appropriate level of detail for the project.
Note: Generic descriptions can include service categories (e.g., “Steam”) or
operating temperature ranges. Detailed descriptions can include specific surfaces of
piping and equipment such as “Top Head,” “Shell,” or specific pipe runs.
4.4 The Purchaser uses several PIP practices that provide information regarding
requirements, specifications, and installation of insulation materials.
a. PIP INSH1000 and PIP INSC1000 provide requirements for insulation
materials.
b. PIP INSH1002 through PIP INSH1013 and PIP INSC1002 through
PIP INSC1003 are insulation system data sheets used to specify required
materials.

PIP INGG1000 COMPLETE REVISION
Insulation Document Use Guideline April 1999

c. PIP INIH1000 and PIP INIC1000 provide installation detail drawings for the
application, securement, and jacketing of materials on insulation systems.
4.5 The Purchaser uses PIP INSH2002 and PIP INSC2002 to identify and collect the
documents necessary to define the insulation material system and extent as referenced
in PIP INSH1001, PIP INSH2001 and PIP INSC2001.
4.6 The Purchaser assembles documents required for the contract per PIP INSH2002 and
PIP INSC2002.
4.7 The Purchaser uses PIP INTG1000 as a guide to individuals responsible for ensuring
the quality and completeness of an insulation project.
