A current index of the latest revised ES Standards and Technical Bulletins is available from the
Pipe Fabrication Institute.

PFI Standards and Technical Bulletins are published to serve proven needs of the pipe fabricating
industry at the design level and in actual shop operations. Hence, such needs are continually considered
and reviewed by the Engineering Committee of the Pipe Fabrication Institute to provide recommended
procedures which have been demonstrated by collective experiences to fulfill requirements in a
manner for Code compliance. However, as the PFI Standards are for minimum requirements the
deSigner or fabricator always has the option of specifying supplementary conditions in the form
of requirements beyond the scope of the PFI publications.
