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 applicablelaws 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.
