Process Industry Practices (PIP)

Process Industry Practices (PIP), founded in 1993, is a consortium of process industry companies sharing the goal of reducing process plant costs through the development and implementation of common industry Practices for detailed design, construction procurement, operation, and maintenance of manufacturing facilities for the process industry.

 

PIP’s mission is to increase the value of the Engineering-Procurement-
Construction (EPC) process and enhance achievement of safety, health, and environmental objectives. PIP will accomplish its mission through ensuring the availability of common Practices created by the PIP Initiative. The set of PIP recommended Practices would be adopted and widely utilized among owner, engineering and construction companies.
PIP Practices are similar in nature, scope and content to the internal technical specifications and standards that most large process industry companies maintain. PIP seeks to harmonize the internal company requirements that add little competitive advantage to any particular company to achieve a larger benefit for all.

PIP’s vision is to deliver up to 6% reduction in Total Installed Cost (TIC) of facilities by voluntary acceptance and use of the common Practices.

Real-time Weld Process Monitoring

Welding is a complex process, is increasingly automated, and operates at higher speeds in more difficult environments. Defects also need to be detected as they arise to ensure efficient, high-quality production. All these needs have led to a growing interest in the use of sensors to provide accurate, robust, real-time monitoring where this cannot be achieved by more traditional testing and inspection techniques. This important book reviews the range of monitoring techniques available and their applications.

After an introductory chapter, the first part of the book reviews the range of sensor technologies in welding, from arc and optical sensors to infrared and ultrasonic techniques. Part two discusses the monitoring of particular aspects of welding such as weld seams and profiles, the analysis of weld penetration and weld pool surface, as well as monitoring of resistance and laser welding.

Coatings Technology Handbook, Third Edition

This third edition serves as an all-in-one guide to the entire field of coatings technology. It covers a diverse range of topics — from basic concepts through coating types, materials, processes, testing, and applications — summarizing both the latest developments and standard coatings methods.

This completely updated and revised edition of The Coatings Technology Handbook examines new materials, such as fluorocarbon resins, polyurethane thickeners, and high temperature pigments; reviews recent testing methods such as infrared spectroscopy, thermal analysis, weathering, and cure monitoring; extensively details a variety of contemporary processes such as flexography, electroless plating, flame surface treatment, embossing, and calendering; analyzes current materials and surface coatings from resins and thermoplastic elsatomers to peelable medical, radiation-cured, leather, and metal coatings; and more. Highly recommended.

From the Preface: “...This book is directed at supplying a broad cross-index of some of the different aspects [of coatings technology] to help the technical person. It is not meant to be an in-depth treatise on any subject.
