Check Valve Data Sheet and Standard Terms
 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 applicable laws 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.

This Practice is subject to revision at any time.

suppliers and contractors with copies of the Practice solely for Authorized Users’ purposes.
These purposes include but are not limited to the procurement process (e.g., as attachments to
requests for quotation/ purchase orders or requests for proposals/contracts) and preparation
and issue of design engineering deliverables for use on a specific project by Authorized
User’s client. PIP’s copyright notices must be clearly indicated and unequivocally

Check Valve Data Sheet and Standard Terms March 2013

1. Introduction

1.1 Purpose
This Practice provides a data sheet and standard terms used for specifying check valves.

1.2 Scope
This Practice describes, in table format, the standard terms used in the drop down menus
of the PIP check valve data sheet appended to this Practice.

1.3 Additional New Standard Terms

This first issue of this Practice contains only those standard terms used in PIP Valve
Description Practices. In addition to new standard terms added by PIP as required to
support new valve descriptions, future publications of this Practice may also contain
additional valve description terms that are in general valve industry usage but not in the
PIP Valve Descriptions Practices. Additional standard terms associated with non-PIP
valve descriptions may be submitted to the PIP office at info@pip.org for consideration
for adoption into this Practice.

2. Requirements
Table 1 provides standard terms for specifying the characteristics of a check valve using the
PIP PNDMV005-D Data Sheet. The terms are included in drop down menus for each cell in the
data sheet.
