PEI President Appoints RP Committees [1]

PEI President Robert Peavey in January 2018 appointed more than 150 individuals to serve on the association’s 17 recommended practices (RP) committees. These industry experts write PEI’s recommended practices and review and revise them regularly to reference new technologies and industry trends.

Each RP reflects the consensus of its committee members. The voluntary practices presented in each document assist users in the operation, performance and maintenance of liquid handling equipment.

These heavily researched, peer-reviewed technical documents address the biggest operational issues within the industry. They are available for purchase at www.pei.org [2].

The following are the 2018 PEI RP committees.
