SECTION 1
Piping
The Piping task is used to model distributed pipelines in your model using a point-by-point design method. Using the Piping task, you can create a fully rendered three- dimensional model of the various pipelines in your model. You also can use this task to insert piping components, instruments, and splits during design and then spool the pipe. You can start the Piping task by clicking Tasks > Piping. Modeling of pipelines is aided by the piping specification, which limits and sometimes automatically selects piping parts. Within a particular design context or pipeline service, the specification author makes decisions in advance relating to both allowed parts and requirements for the parts that may be used in that service. Limiting the selection of parts through the use of a piping specification helps the designer by eliminating the need to make decisions related to applicability, cost, procurement, and safety of particular parts within particular pipeline services. Part selection is further aided through the provision of rules regarding the usage of particular types of parts in particular design situations. The piping specification contains a grouping of piping materials classes that define the requirements, characteristics, and behavior of the piping commodities for a specific service. For more information on the piping reference data and piping specifications, see the Piping Reference Data Guide or the Catalog Help. Before you start modeling, there are some relationships and concepts that you need to know.
Piping Systems
Piping systems are a way of organizing pipelines in your model. You can create piping systems based on the area where the pipelines are located, by what the pipelines carry, by the piping designer who models the pipelines, or by any other method that you choose. Piping systems are just a way to group objects. You create piping systems in the Systems and Specifications task.
Piping
Pipelines
Pipelines are a way of organizing pipe runs in your model and are created in the Systems and Specifications task. You are not restricted to piping systems when creating pipelines. You can create pipelines under any previously created system. When you create a pipeline, you are required to define a fluid requirement and a fluid type.
Pipe Runs
A pipe run is a connected series of pipe features that normally have the same nominal piping diameter (NPD) and flow direction, and are normally governed by the same pipe specification. All pipe features belong to a pipe run. One or more pipe runs make up a pipeline.
Pipe Features
When you route a pipe run, you place features defining high- level design information as you go. The software automatically selects the specific parts based on the pipe specification of the pipe run. You may want to think of features as logical collections of parts driven by the pipe specification. There are several basic features: straight, turn, branch, end, run change, split, and along leg component.
Piping Pipe specifications are defined in the piping reference data. You can create and customize the pipe specifications to suit your needs. See the Piping Reference Data Guide for more information on defining pipe specifications.
Pipe Parts
Parts are the physical components that compose a feature and are generally selected by the software. For example, the flanges, gaskets, and the gate valve itself are examples of the parts composing the gate valve feature. In special situations where the pipe specification does not select the part that you want, you can override the part selection by explicitly selecting the part from the catalog. While this part does not follow the pipe specification defined for the pipe run, the part still belongs to only that pipe run.
Pipe Ports
Ports are the connection points on the pipe parts.
Connections
Connections define how the pipe ports connect to one another.
Piping The Piping task has the following commands: Select - Used to select objects in the model. For more information, see Editing Properties (on page 67). Route Pipe - Places pipe runs in the model. For more information, see Route Pipe (on page 27). Insert Split - Places a welded split or a takedown joint in the selected pipe. For more information, see Insert Split (on page 75). Insert Component - Places valves, tees, and other inline components in the selected pipe. For more information, see Insert Component (on page 81). Insert Tap - Places a tap in the selected component. For more information, see Insert Tap (on page 91). Generate Spools - Generates piping spools for the piping in the model. For more information, see Generate Spools (on page 101). Create Penetration Spools - Generates penetration spools for pipes that have penetration plates placed in the model. For more information, see Create Penetration Spools (on page 107). Sequence Objects - Renames the components of a pipeline or spool so that they are in a sequential order. For more information, see Sequence Objects (on page 111). Group Pipe Parts - Automatically creates, names, and assigns piping objects to a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) item. For more information, see Group Pipe Parts (on page 117). Route Flex Pipe - Places flexible piping in the model. For more information, see Route Flex Pipe (on page 95).
