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.

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
This Practice provides guidelines for the design, specification, purchasing, and
installation of process analyzer systems for major capital projects.
1.2 Scope
This Practice describes the guidelines for implementation of process analyzer
systems. The successful implementation of a process analyzer project requires the
knowledge, integration, and management of multi-disciplinary engineering skills and
resources that may bridge several different organizations. The detailed information
on “Tasks and Deliverables” provided in this Practice assumes a typical project.
However, depending upon the scope of a given project and the organizational
structure defined for that project, the tasks defined under the Task s and Deliverables
for participating organizations may change. This Practice should be used to assist in
assessment and definition of roles and responsibilities for those tasks required for a
given project.
2. General References
Applicable parts of the following Practices, industry codes and standards, and references
shall be considered an integral part of this Practice. The edition in effect on the date of
contract award shall be used, except as otherwise noted. Short titles will be used herein
where appropriate.
3. General
3.1 The implementation of process analyzers on a major capital project can require the
participation of only one or several of the following resource groups:
a. Owner Company personnel.
b. Engineering and Construction Electrical and Instruments (E&I) engineering
section (E&C) contractor
c. Analyzer Systems Vendor (ASV)
d. Analyzer Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)
3.2 How these different organizations interact to produce a successful analyzer project
can vary depending upon the expertise of each group and the stage of the project. A
typical capital project includes, but may not be limited to, the following stages:
a. Conceptual design
b. Production design
c. Implementation
d. Detail design
e. Installation
f. Commissioning/startup/turnover
g. Project completion
3.3 Successful implementation of a project requires continuity of personnel throughout
the execution period of a project. In addition to minimizing the overall cost of the
project, all efforts should be taken to align resources and minimize duplication of
effort. A matrix can be prepared in a spreadsheet or word-processing format to show
the tasks required at each stage in the project, along with each party’s agreed role
(i.e., lead, approval, review, and information only).

Report TR 61831, On-Line Analyzer Systems – Guide to Design and Installation. Together
this Practice and IEC TR61831 provide guidelines for the design and installation of process
analyzer systems.
1.2 Scope
This Practice describes additions, changes, and deletions that have been made to
IEC TR61831.
2. References
Applicable parts of the following Practices, industry codes and standards, and references
shall be considered an integral part of this Practice. The edition in effect on the date of the
contract award shall be used, except as otherwise noted. Short titles will be used herein
where appropriate.
3. Guidelines
The numbering of the headings and paragraphs in the Guidelines section corresponds to the
numbering of IEC 61831 which this Practice revises. The type of revision made to a
specified heading or paragraph is described after the heading or paragraph identification. All
provisions of IEC 61831 that are not revised remain in force.
3. “Housings”
3.1 Ventilation requirements - modification. The over pressure should be
limited to a total pressure of 50 Pa instead of 2 to 5 mbar.
3.2 Purged Equipment - modification to final paragraph. The certification EX
“p” should not be specified because it is not recognized in the National
Electric Code (NEC) Division System of Classification.
4. “Sampling Systems”
4.1 Introduction - modification to final paragraph. PIP PCTPA001, Process
Analyzer System Acceptance Testing, should be used for sample system
physical inspection.
4.2 “Sample Point Location - modification to item (f). The analyzer and
laboratory process sample point may be combined and the sample system
should be designed to prevent low flow when both are in use.
4.3 “Fast Circulating Systems” - modification to paragraph 7. The sample to the
analyzer should normally be filtered. The type of filter chosen is a function
of sample system design.
4.4 Special Considerations - modification to final paragraph. Pressure relief
valves should be included in the system design if required to prevent the
fluid pressure from rising to a value that could cause analyzer system
hardware failure and loss of fluid containment.
4.5 General - modification to paragraph 3 – Following the first process take-off
valve, instrumentation tubing specifications are commonly used for sample
transport including analyzer fast loops and analyzer flows.

1. Introduction
1.1 Purpose
This Practice provides requirements for use by an experienced analyzer systems engineer
for the design and installation of process analyzer systems.
1.2 Scope
This Practice describes the requirements for process analyzer systems which are
engineered, designed, and fabricated for the following:
a. Process measurement monitoring or control.
b. Effluent measurement monitoring or control.
c. Ambient atmospheric measurement monitoring or control.
2. References
Applicable parts of the following Practices, industry codes and standards, and references shall be
considered an integral part of this Practice. The edition in effect on the date of the contract award
shall be used, except as otherwise noted. Short titles will be used herein where appropriate.
3. Definitions
process analyzer system: A system that consists of an analyzer, a sample-conditioning system,
and one or more readout devices. The system is designed and assembled to automatically take a
representative portion of a process stream and to identify and measure specific component
concentrations or physical properties of the sample.
fast loop: A part of the sample transport system that is designed to transport the process sample
close to but not through the analyzer. The purpose is to reduce the time lag in getting sample
from the process tie point, it should be returned to process whenever possible. The term “speed
loop or bypass sample line” is sometimes used to define the same part of the system.
sample: The process take off from the fast loop that is delivered to the analyzer for specific
component analysis or for physical property determination.
calibration and auto-calibration: The introduction of a standard to the analyzer. The measured
results are compared with the standard, and the response factors of the analyzer are adjusted so
that the measured results match the standard. Auto-calibration is the same activity with no human
intervention and is normally on a fixed time cycle.
validation and auto-validation: The introduction of a standard to the analyzer. The measured
results are compared with historical data and reported, and the response factor is not changed.
Auto-validation is the same activity with no human intervention and is normally on a fixed time
cycle. Other terms commonly used are “bench mark” and “check peak.” When the historical data
trend of a validation sample clearly exceeds the acceptable limit, the instrument should be
calibrated.
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Tests: The acceptance tests that are performed at the
Analyzer Manufacturer’s facility. These tests must have defined and measurable parameters with
repeatability factors or tolerance factors that are stated in the data sheets or in engineering notes.
Examples of these tests are baseline drift, repeatability, resolution, signal ranges, etc.
Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT): The tests that are performed at an Analyzer System Vendor’s
(ASV) facility after complete fabrication and assembly of the analyzer system(s).
Site Acceptance Test (SAT): The transfer of ownership of an analyzer system following a defined
period of uninterrupted, on-line operation within acceptable performance parameters. These tests,
including the documentation requirements and standards compliance, must be fully defined at the
bidding stage of an analyzer project.
4. Requirements
