FOREWORD
Users and suppliers of industrial equipment, as well as the The JIC Pneumatic Standard Committee which prepared this
component manufacturers, have long recognized that the safety of standard was composed of:
personnel and uninterrupted production are of cardinal importance T.F. Graffy - Chairman
to the economic growth of industry. The application of pneumatics Airmatic/Beckett-Harcum
to industrial equipment resulted in preparation of the first W.A. Burton
pneumatic standard over 20 years ago. This is the latest revision of Lawrence Livermore Laboratory
that standard. C.A. Cross
This revision has been written as a General Purpose Pneumatic Ford Motor Company
Standard and has been extended, where noted, to Mass Production W.F. Diehl
Equipment, as well as to the type of engineering considered
General Motors Corporation
desirable. This standard is basic in nature, that is, it does not
R.D. Forney
contain any requirements specific to any one industry, company,
division, or plant. Cincinnati Milacron Inc.
J.P Jenny
All JIC standards are advisory only. Their use in industry or
trade is entirely voluntary. Aluminum Company of America
H.R. Kutcher
The JIC assumes no liability for any patent infringements or
Aluminum Company of America
asserted patent infringements which may result from the use of this
standard. A.J. McClelland

Comments or requests for information regarding JIC activities
or interpretation of the JIC standards should be addressed to the W.T. McCormick

McLean, VA 22101. B. MacGregor
Proposals to change this JIC Pneumatic Standard are General Motors Corporation
considered in the Joint Industrial Council meetings held at intervals R. Muhl
for this purpose. Future revisions will include application National Automatic Tool Company
requirements for those fields that become so closely associated with J.A Neff
the pneumatic science as to be deemed a part thereof. No additions, Mac Air Valve Company
revisions, or deletions shall be made hereto when reproduced as the J.J. Pippenger

that its position be maintained during startup and stopping and
in the event of electrical failure (Ref. P8.4.3)
P11.33.4 Counterbalancing. On vertical and inclined
equipment slides, rams, and other similar equipment elements,
means shall be provided to prevent their rapid drop when de-
energized. This does not imply an addition to, or the
substitution for, counterweighting, but a requirement in the
absence of counterweighting. (Ref. P8.4.4)
P11.34 Flexible Line Use. Flexible hoses shall be restrained
or confined where their failure would constitute a hazard.
[Ref. P9.l9.l (4)]
P11.35 Exhaust Protection. Exhaust ports of all pneumatic
devices, except pilot exhausts, shall be equipped with a
suitable muffler or silencer located to protect personnel and
equipment from the exhaust air and blown particles. (Ref. P1

JIC Pneumatic Equipment Data Form for
Mass Production Equipment
PE1.0 Instructions for Data Form Use. (Ref. P1.9)
PE1.1 Purposes. This Pneumatic Equipment Data Form
provides the purchaser with a concise means of communication
with the supplier in providing data required for proper and
acceptable application of pneumatic power to mass production
industrial equipment. The use of the Data Form assures the
purchaser of quotations based on information furnished and
equipment desired.
PE1.2 Issue of Data Form. The purchaser should issue a JIC
Pneumatic Equipment Data Form, marked “Original”, with
each section of the form filled in according to information
known at the time of issuance. The completed form should be
attached to the purchaser’s inquiry for mass production
industrial equipment.
When the Data Form is used and later additional
information becomes available, or when negotiated agreements
between the purchaser and the supplier negate the original
information furnished, the purchaser shall issue a revised Data
Form, marked “Revised”, with the revision numbered and
dated.
PE2.0 Included Data.
PE2.1 Known Information. Sections 1 through 8 of the Data
Form should be filled in according to known information at the
time the purchaser’s inquiry is originated.
PE2.2 Description of Equipment. The description of the
equipment should be equivalent to that given in the title block
on drawings, and should include the part or component name(s)
and number(s), if applicable, and the operation or process
number.
PE2.3 Technical Information. The name of the individual
listed for technical information should be the pneumatic en2
fleer, or other qualified person(s), designated to review
preliminary and final drawings.
PE3.0 Instructions to Builder.
PE3.l Section 1. The purchaser should specify to which
version of this JIC Pneumatic Standard for Industrial
Equipment, supplement(s), or other standard he requires
conformance. The purchaser should provide reference to, or
information relative to. the applicable state or local code.
When no standard is specified by the purchaser. the
supplier’s standard shall be deemed acceptable.
PE3.2 Section 2. Maximum operating pressure, and line
flow velocity, when other than that specified in this standard,
should be specified.
PE3.3 Section 3. Regional and environmental conditions
that may affect the pneumatic equipment or its operating
characteristics should be listed.
JIC Pneumatic Standards 22
PE3.4 Section 4. The purchaser should indicate the type and
quantity of other services available at the installation area or
nearby.
PE3.5 Section 5. The purchaser should designate the type(s)
of diagrams and drawings required for preliminary review.
These diagrams and drawings shall be provided as copies or
reproducibles as required.
The person designated to receive the final drawing should
be the engineer responsible for the application or other
qualified person responsible for the preservation and control of
the drawings.
Field changes are subject to provisions of P1.1 2.3.
PE3.6 Section 6. Purchaser’s drawing numbers assigned to
the pneumatic circuit and the equipment to which the circuit is
applied, if different, should be shown. Where numbers are not
available at the time the inquiry is originated, they should be
included with the purchase order or as soon thereafter as
assigned.
PE3.7 Section 7. The purchaser should use this section to
emphasize particular and previously stated requirements,
statements of policy, and general data.
PE3.8 Section 8. The purchaser should list all unusual
environmental conditions, required deviations from the
specified standard, and additional safety requirements.
Applicable labor conditions, unusual operating conditions
and/or problems, supply or material handling problems, and
other special requirements should also be shown.
PE3.9 Section 9 This section should be filled in by the
purchaser only where his selection of components is
advantageous relative to his inventories, component
procurement, and/or his equipment maintenance. Such
preference should be based on design requirements, operational
experience, and inventory consideration. Information provided
in Section 9 of the Data Form should specify general type of
function of the equipment or component and should include the
rnanufacturer’s name and size, group. or series to which the
equipment or components belong (not a specific model
designation) in accordance with the purchaser’s preference.
When no equipment preference is specified, the supplier’s
choice shall be acceptable.
The order of the purchaser’s preference should be
indicated numerically (1.2.3) in the space provided
immediately preceding the listing of the preferred component
or equipment. When the order of preference is omitted,
preferred equipment or components listed shall be considered
equally acceptable.
