    Purchasing Requirements for Gaskets
    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.
