configure the equipment for process, CIP or SIP functions, and may be replaced or
supplemented with additional air-operated valves for ahigher degree of automation
in large production processes. The TPs in Figure 1would be considered to
be “low-level” panels, as they are located so that the vessels drain to port 4(Fig. 4).
This figure illustrates the port arrangement for this “generic” panel, and the
associated isometric view illustrates how a“standard” U-Bend would fit between

FIGURE 4 This detail of the low-level transfer panel shown on schematics in this chapter identifies
the ports by number. Note the 3-Leg U-Bend. All U-Bends are of the same length, to permit full
interchangeability. Abbreviations: CIPR, clean-in-place return; CIPS, clean-in-place supply.
