Displays properties for piping systems. Piping systems orgainize 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 can create piping systems in the Systems and Specifications task.

The order in which the properties display in your view depends on your configuration.

Approval State

Specifies the status of the selected object or filter. Changing this property sets the Status. The display depends on your access level. You might be unable to change the status of the object. The list is defined by the ApprovalStatus codelist.

Smart 3Dx saves an object to the database when you change that object's status. Use Undo (CTRL + Z) to reverse the status change.

You can only edit or manipulate an object with a status of Working.

Piping

If you selected Not Insulated in the Insulation Specification box, you cannot change the value in the Insulation Material box. However, if you manually entered the insulation specification, you must provide a corresponding insulation material as per the specification. If you selected an insulation specification from the available list, the software automatically displays the corresponding material as per the specification.

If you select Not Insulated, you cannot change the information in Insulation Thickness.

Select More to select an insulation material from the Catalog. To change the options on the list, edit the Insulation Material select list in Catalog. See Select Insulation Material Dialog.

Insulation Purpose

Specifies the purpose of the insulation. If you selected Not Insulated in the Insulation Specification box, you cannot change the information in the Insulation Purpose box. However, if Insulation Specification is manually defined, you can select the purpose of the insulation in this box. If Insulation Specification is a selected reference data insulation specification, the software reads the purpose from the insulation specification from the reference data and displays it here.

To change the options on the list, edit the Insulation Purpose select list in Catalog.

Insulation Specification

Specifies the insulation specification for the object. If Inherited Properties or Spec displays in the box, the insulation specification for the object is inherited from the pipe run to which the object belongs.

Defines which insulation specifications are available for which systems in System and Specifications. Insulation specifications are defined in the reference data.

Not Insulated

Disables the remaining insulation properties.

User Defined

Indicates that you can specify the remaining insulation properties using custom settings.

More

Displays a dialog so that you can select an insulation specification from the reference data. The software then automatically enters information from that insulation specification.

Insulation Temperature

Specifies the temperature. Include the temperature unit of measure (K for Kelvin, F for Fahrenheit, or C for Celsius for example) when specifying this value.

Insulation Thickness

Specifies the thickness of the insulation.

Piping

If you selected Not Insulated in the Insulation Specification box, you cannot change the value in the Insulation Thickness box. However, if you manually entered the insulation specification, you must provide a corresponding insulation thickness value as per the specification.

Last Modified by

Specifies the name of the person who last modified the object.

Minimum Slope

Specifies the minimal slope value for the pipe run. You can specify the slope as a ratio, a percentage, or in degrees.

ratio

If a run drops 1/4" for every foot of horizontal distance, specify the slope as 1/4"/1'-0".

percentage

If a run drops 1" for every 10" of horizontal distance, specify the slope as 10%.

degrees

A five-degree slope can be specified as 5deg.

When routing a sloped pipe, use a slope value that is larger than the Minimum Slope for the pipe run to avoid Invalid Slope Angle To-Do-Record (TDR). The software compares design slope and minimum slope of the pipe run. If there is a difference between the values caused by any modification, the software generates a TDR.

Name

Specifies the name of the selected object. If the name is too long to entirely display in the box, point to the box to display the complete name as a tool tip. If the name is not defined by a rule, User Defined displays. If this name is generated by a naming rule, Naming Rule displays. If you type a name in this box, Smart 3Dx automatically changes the naming rule to User Defined.

Nominal Diameter

Specifies the nominal pipe diameter (NPD) to use for this pipe run. The pipe specification controls the available NPDs in this list. If you select an equipment nozzle as the starting point of your pipe run, the software automatically uses the NPD of the nozzle as the NPD of the pipe run. You can select the NPD units to display on a session file basis using the Menu Com_Menu > Options Command on the Units of Measure Tab (Options Dialog).

Operating Maximum Pressure

Specifies the maximum operating pressure. Include the pressure unit of measure (psi for pounds per square inch for example).
