Introduction
Foreword
Since the beginning of the Process Industry Practices (PIP) initiative in early 1993,
major progress has been made by more than 300 volunteers working together to harmonize
a common set of written Practices for the process industry.
The PIP Operations Manual provides a single reference source for PIP policies,
plans, procedures, guidance materials and other documents needed by all PIP participants.
This December 2001, revision of the Manual is designed to provide an easily readable
document so that familiarity with PIP background and Practices may be established
quickly, especially for new team members.
Formerly available from the PIP office in paper format, the Manual is now available
on the PIP website for the convenience of PIP members. Users can print copies of the
Manual if the paper format is needed. The original notebook format has been continued so
that topics may be added or modified as the PIP initiative evolves.
The Manuals Table of Contents (TOC) and individual section Contents pages
are bookmarked, giving the user the option of navigating the Manual by using the mouse.
Clicking on section titles in the main TOC will lead to individual section
Contents pages. Clicking on the icon labeled Return to Main Table of
Contents on any sections Contents page will return the user to the main
TOC.
Other headings on each sections Contents page will lead directly to the page

Subscription Program
The PIP Subscription Program (PIP-SP) makes PIP Practices available to nonmember subscribers as an entire set of published Practices or in sets by engineering
discipline. Subscribers access Practices in .pdf format via the PIP website, and receive
notification from the PIP webmaster as the Practices are published. Subscribers also have
access to published PIP Electronic Entry Data Sheets (EEDS).
PIP membership is not included with the purchase of a subscription, and
membership is not a prerequisite to becoming a Subscriber. The Subscription Program does
not include PIP voting rights or participation on PIP teams/committees.
Subscribers have the opportunity to attend PIP functions by special invitation and
will receive acknowledgement from PIP for post-publication comments to Practice content.
Potential subscribers include suppliers and vendors serving the process industry,
who are not eligible for membership in PIP, and owners and contractors who have a use for
the Practices but do not choose to allocate resources for participation in the Practice
development process (i.e. PIP membership).
Information on the Subscription Program is available from the PIP office and on the
PIP website at: www.pip.org/subscribers/.

Meetings Locations
Because several PIP Member Companies are located in the area, Houston, Texas,
has been designated a convenient site for meetings. Utilizing the hotels located in the Bush
Intercontinental Airport area makes car rental optional for members flying to Houston.
PIP pays for team meeting costs at hotels in the vicinity of the airport. PIP
negotiates for special overnight and meeting room rates; a fixed, person/day rate includes
meeting room, continental breakfast, refreshments, and lunch in the hotel.
Team meetings for an entire year are scheduled annually through the PIP office.
Notification for scheduling the next years meetings is sent to each Function Team Leader
in November of each year. The meetings schedule for the current year is posted on the PIP
website at: www.pip.org/members/meetings/schedules/index.html.
To make arrangements for special meetings or additional meetings during the year,
call the PIP office at 512-232-3041.
Teams exercising the option of meeting in the facilities of a Member Company
should make those arrangements through the host company. Notification and meeting
details should be sent to the PIP office so that meeting information made available to the
membership on the website can be kept current.
Occasionally a team may choose to meet at the PIP office in Austin, Texas. Teams
are welcome to meet at the PIP office. Arrangements for meetings in Austin must be made
in advance through the PIP Secretary at 512-232-3041. Rental cars are necessary for air
travelers to Austin.
Teams may consider conference calls as a meeting alternative Details on arranging
conference calls through the PIP office can be found in this section in Conference Calls.

Conference Calling
Meet Me conference calling, a service available to PIP through The University of
Texas phone service, allows individuals to dial without the help of an operator into a preset group call. Callers can be physically located anywhere. Each caller is billed separately
to the callers number as with any long distance phone call. There is no charge to PIP for
the service.
Meet Me calls must be scheduled in advance through the PIP office. Any group
leader can call the PIP office with the information* required to set up the call. *(See next
page.)
The PIP Secretary will schedule the Meet Me call and transmit via phone or email to the group leader setting up the call, the phone number to use for the call. The group
leader transmits the phone number to all other call participants. The phone number is
assigned for one conference call only.
Meet Me conference calls should be scheduled as early as possible to assure
availability of UT phone lines dedicated to this service. Last-minute calls can be arranged
if lines are available; however, a minimum of 24 hours prior to conference call time is
recommended.
The call originator is advised to check the Meet Me call line during the 15-minute
period prior to the call starting time. (UT telephone services sets-up the call 15 minutes
prior to call time). The call is set up properly if the caller checking the setup hears the
phone number ring. A problem is indicated if the caller hears: Were sorry your number
cannot be completed as dialed. Please check your number and dial again.
Please call the PIP office (512/232-3041) immediately to report any problem. The
PIP office will contact UT telephone services to clear the problem in time for the scheduled
conference call.
At the time of the conference call, each participating individual will dial the
designated phone number and will be automatically connected to the call. The first person
dialing the number will open the conference line but will continue to hear the phone ring
and should remain on the line until additional callers dial in. While the Meet Me call is
in session, participants can hang up, make other calls, and redial the conference call
number and be reconnected. Participants will hear a slight noise as callers are connected
and disconnected.
The call is completed when the last caller hangs up.

A Sponsor, appointed by the Steering Team and responsible for linkage to and
communication with the Steering Team, serves as an ex-officio member of each Function
Team. The Sponsor is both a Steering Team member and a member of the Executive
Committee. For more information on the Sponsor, see Role and Responsibilities of the

the Discipline Contact does not normally attend FT meetings, the Discipline Contact has
the option to attend.
A FT may appoint a liaison to another FT when the level of mutual interest or scope
of work in a Practice is high enough to suggest a relationship.
Each Member Company has one vote in the activities of the FT. Liaisons and
Discipline Contacts have input but no vote on FT issues. Alternates vote only in the
absence of the FT member.
Steering Team members have the right and obligation to provide FT members from
their companies. Steering Team members communicate complete Roster information for

meeting dates as far in advance as possible to accommodate Team members work
schedules. FT members are expected to attend 75% of the Teams meetings (67% for those
members traveling from out of town). FT members commit to out-of-meeting work and
preparation.
Some FT work may lend itself more to teleconferencing, the use of eRoom, and
other electronic means of communication. A meetings schedule, maintained by the PIP
office, is posted on the website. Minutes of FT meetings are recorded and a copy sent to the
PIP office.
FTs prepare a Function Team Report (FTR) to be presented by the FTL, or his/her
designee, at the FTL meeting each quarter. For more information on the Function Team
Report, see FTL Guidelines in this section.
Visitors from prospective member companies may, at the discretion of the FTL and

Member Companies have the option of multiple internal reviewers; however, all
MCR comments from a company are to be received, compiled, and submitted to the
Function Team Leader by one designated representative from each Member Company.
Function Team Leaders are responsible for receiving Member Company Review
comments and working with the authoring Task Team to resolve comments received during
the review. Final technical resolution and vote to confirm shall be within the Function
Team. Resolution of the MCR comments consists of (1) incorporating the comment into the
Practice, (2) postponing the decision until the next review cycle, or (3) the decision to not
incorporate the comment in the Practice.
All MCR comments and the resolution shall be documented and the response
(MCCF) is posted in the MCR section of the website until publication of the Practice.
The Work Process Response chart on the following page shows the approved
minimum procedure for responding to MCR comments; however, a Team may choose to
respond to comments in a way other than those shown on the chart.
To complete the review process and begin the approval process for publication of a
Practice, a copy of the original comments and the resolutions of the comments must be
transmitted to the PIP office for inclusion in the Practices permanent file prior to balloting
for Steering Team approval.

The Ballot process allows one vote per Member Company. PIP Practices are
approved when 75% of the Member Company Steering Team representatives on the
Steering Team have voted Yes to approve a Practice. The PIP office notifies the Steering
Team and the authoring Function Team via electronic mail when a Practice has been
approved.
See also Member Company Review in this section for information of Member
Company input on Practices being developed.
Note:
A new PIP member company may chose to authorize a temporary proxy yes vote
for their STBs until they are ready to actively vote. Please notify the PIP Director if you
wish to authorize a temporary proxy for STB.

Practices Format
Because of the diversity in computer technology in use by PIP Member Companies,
PIP maintains a current standardized technology that will, if required, translate and convert
to other standard computer programs. PIP will adapt procedure as technology advances.
PIPs word processing program is Word for Windows, selected in 1994 by the
original PIP Distribution Team as a word processing program that is readily available,
satisfies PIP requirements for the 80-20 rule, and interacts with other software programs.
December 2001
71
For the PIP publication that describes the current approved word processing program for
formatting PIP Practices, Guideline for Adoption and Upgrade of Software for Use by PIP,
see: www.pip.org/members/practices/adg/index.html.
PIP uses a standard style, adopted in 1994, for formatting Practices. Teams writing
Practices submit drafts in a format that conforms to PIP numbering and arrangement of
material. PIP editors do the formatting for PIP style.
The following pages show examples conforming to the PIP format and standard
language the C/S/A Team developed for writing Practices. These clearly written examples
are intended only as guides for numbering, arrangement of material, and language.
More information on writing Practices can be found in the guides for authors in the
section Guide Documents.

Guide Documents
PIP guide documents (Administrative General or ADGs), used for developing PIP
Practices, are a product of the Work Processes Team (WPT). ADG guide documents are
associated with the administration of the Practices and are intended to be used by PIP
Member Companies for information only and are not intended to be used as contract
documents.
Conforming to the PIP Practice numbering system, guide documents are numbered
as an ADG series, indicating that the guides are Administrative and General. The guides are
numbered consecutively as they are produced and are organized by subject. The PIP ADG
series follows standard PIP procedure for development and formatting.
The WPT responsibilities include developing, maintaining, and revising the PIP
guide documents. PIP guides are reviewed periodically and may be revised as required. The
approval process for administrative documents authored and maintained by WPT is:
Following authoring and approval by WPT, the ADG documents Task Team Leader
sends the ADG document to the PIP office for formatting.
When the edited, formatted document is returned to the WPT by the PIP editors, the
WPT Leader sends the ADG document to the Function Team Leaders for review.
Deadline for Function Team Leader comments to the WPT Leader is five (5) weeks
from date of transmittal from the WPT.
The ADG documents Task Team resolves all comments and presents the revised
document to the WPT for approval.
The document is scrutinized for legal and commercial ramifications by the WPT,
with concerns brought to the Steering Team, Executive Committee or Legal
Committee, as appropriate.
The completed document is sent to the PIP office for transmittal to the Steering
Team for balloting. Balloting follows PIP standard approval procedure.
Published guide documents are valid until a revised guide is approved by the PIP
Steering Team and published. If conflicts are noted in guide documents, the guide with the
latest publication date takes precedent.
The WPT has also authored Guideline for Adoption and Upgrade of Software for
Use by PIP.
