3.6 ID_CALC_TYPE = 'PIPE'

Inch-Dia calculation logic for pipe is as follows
Retrieve pipe material (PIPE_MTL) and end preparation (END_PREP) from T_SPEC_CLASS_SUMMARY
 Pipe material (PIPE_MTL) designation is as follows
CS : Carbon Steel
LA : Low Alloy Steel
SS : Stainless Steel
NO : Non-Ferrous Metal
NM : Non-Metal

End preparation (END_PREP) designation is as follows

BW : Count as Butt Weld (This end prep. is effective only for pipe, other components' end prep is defined T_GEOM_ID_BASIS_SC
SW : Socket Weld
TH : Thread Weld

Retrieving pipe length from T_GEOM_PIPE_LEN as follows

Column definition of columns is as follows

SIZE_FROM/SIZE_TO : Size range of pipe to define fixed pipe length
POS : Position for each fixed pipe length definition
One of "A", "R", "S", and "U" must be selected
MTL_GROUP : Pipe material defined in T_SPEC_CLASS_SUMMARY.
Material designation must be same as T_SPEC_CLASS_SUMMARY.PIPE_MTL
PIPE_LENGTH : Fixed pipe length value
Use "99.9" if calculation by fixed pipe length is not required. Usually, "99.9" is used for POS = "A

Retrieving data for fixed pipe length value by using following MTO Data (T_MTO_DATA)
T_MTO_DATA.SIZE_1
T_MTO_DATA.POS
T_MTO_DATA.LINE_CLASS → T_SPEC_CLASS_SUMMARY.PIPE_MTL

Calculating joint calculation if fixed pipe length value is not "99.9

For size 1 calculation :

JOINT_SIZE = T_MTO_DATA.SIZE_1
JOINT_QTY = (T_MTO_DATA.QTY / T_GEOM_PIPE_LEN.PIPE_LENGTH) . Float value will be truncated

For size 2 calculation (not calculated)

JOINT_SIZE = 0
JOINT_QTY = 0

4. Inch-Dia calculation
Inch-dia will be calculated by using weld joint count calculation resul
For size 1 calculation
T_BQ_ID_DATA.ORIGINAL.SIZE_1_JOINT_ID = JOINT_SIZE_1 x SIZE_1_JOINT_QTY
For size 2 calculation
T_BQ_ID_DATA.ORIGINAL.SIZE_2_JOINT_ID = JOINT_SIZE_2 x SIZE_2_JOINT_QTY

These calculation result will be saved to T_BQ_ID_DATA_ORIGINAL, then converted to T_BQ_ID_DATA as follow

T_BQ_ID_DATA_ORIGINAL
SIZE_1_JOINT_TYPE JOINT_TYPE_SIZE_1 SIZE_1_JOINT_QTY SIZE_1_JOINT_ID SIZE_2_JOINT_TYPE JOINT_TYPE_SIZE_2 SIZE_2_JOINT_QTY SIZE_2_JOINT_ID
