Roxul Industrial Insulation Process - Manual (Page 93)

1.1 Planning and preparation 2.1 Norms & Standards
2.1.2 Insulation specification
b) PIP - guidelines
Process Industry Practices (PIP) is a consortium
of mainly US-based process industry owners and
engineering construction contractors who serve
the industry. PIP was organized in 1993 and is a
separately funded initiative of the Construction
Industry Initiative (CII) and the University of Texas
at Austin. PIP publishes documents called
"Practices". These Practices reflect a
harmonisation of company engineering standards
in many engineering disciplines.
Specific Practices include design, selection and
specification, and installation information. Some
of the best practices are mentioned below.
