"Avoid acronyms on first reference unless they are so well known that most readers will recognize the reference at first glance, such as FBI, ACLU and DOJ. Do not use periods in acronyms, except for academic degrees. Statutes acronyms should be referenced in a parenthetical, i.e. The Computer Assistance to Law Enforcement Act (CALEA)."
[Based on BigInch's question mark and his experience regarding pipes, and while his guess was my guess, I do not believe "most readers" would really know for sure, or for that matter really even have a clue as to, what is meant when now presented only with the acronyms in all caps "PROP"!]
Everyone have a good weekend.

RE: Prop pipe
You make me curious, please forgive me my ignorance.
Prop is presumably propylene line as a medium, I don't think it is polypropylene pipe.
PE is project engineer and polyethylene ??
I'm with a company who invented a 24 A4 pages with
acronyms and abbreviations, they are just crazy.
Especially when it is in a country with more languages,
it's still more confusing.
Terrible all those acronyms and abbreviations.
Greetings

Maybe it is used to test your length of service - if you know what it means - it says you probably have been there too long.

Over the years I've commented on many a forum thread about assuming that the TLA used in a particular industry translates well to other industries.
And europipe, your company appears to be amateurs when it comes to accronym usage -- I just checked the latest NRC accronym document and it has 292 pages! And we don't come anywhere close to the US military's use.

[Three-Letter Acronym] 1. Self-describing abbreviation for a species with which computing terminology is infested. 2. Any confusing acronym. Examples include MCA, FTP, SNA, CPU, MMU, SCCS, DMU, FPU, NNTP, TLA. People who like this looser usage argue that not all TLAs have three letters, just as not all four-letter words have four letters. One also hears of "ETLA" (Extended Three-Letter Acronym, pronounced /ee tee el ay/) being used to describe four-letter acronyms. The term "SFLA" (Stupid Four-Letter Acronym) has also been reported. See also YABA.
The self-effacing phrase "TDM TLA" (Too Damn Many...) is often used to bemoan the plethora of TLAs in use. In 1989, a random of the journalistic persuasion asked hacker Paul Boutin, "What do you think will be the biggest problem in computing in the 90s?" Paul's straight-faced response: "There are only 17,000 three-letter acronyms." (To be exact, there are 263 = 17,576.) There is probably some karmic justice in the fact that Paul Boutin subsequently became a journalist.
