PIP VEDBI003

This Practice provides data forms and the associated instructions for specifying requirements for dry bulk solids containers (bins, hoppers, silos, and gravity blenders).

This Practice contains three data forms for providing requirements for cylindrical shell, single-wall containers for dry bulk solids (i.e., bins, hoppers, silos, and gravity blenders) having internal design pressures not exceeding 15 psig (103 kPa) and/or full vacuum external pressure at the top of the container in its normal operating position, and are welded, shop- and field-fabricated, and generally in accordance with the philosophy and requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division 1, henceforth referred to as the Code.

This Practice is required to be used with PIP VECBI001 and PIP VESBI002 to specify requirements, not otherwise specified, that are required by the Manufacturer to design and fabricate a bulk solids container.

This Practice also provides instructions to the Purchaser and the Manufacturer for inserting data and information in the three data forms.
