 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.

This Practice is subject to revision at any time.

THREAD SEALANT Sealants (graphite thread dope) for pipe threads shall be used on all taper-threaded joints.

90° BRANCH CONNECTION Use fittings listed in FITTINGS table, page 1.

NOTES:
09 Pressure and temperature rating can be limited by certain components permitted by this Practice. Manufacturer's recommended pressure-temperature restrictions
shall be consulted.
10 Compression fitting components from different manufacturers shall not be used interchangeably.
16 Tubing wall thickness shown may not be suitable for “GAS” service. For “GAS” service, manufacturer shall be consulted for wall thickness recommendation.
75 Tubing shall be adequately supported, i.e., long tubing runs shall be run along protected channels, angles, beams, etc.
76 Tubing shall be marked with manufacturer name/brand, size, material/grade, and heat number.
77 The preferred method for directional change shall be bending. All bends shall be made with tube benders. Flattened, kinked, or wrinkled bends shall not be
acceptable.
