Displays properties for pipe part specifications. The order in which the properties display in your view depends on your configuration.

Alternate Reportable Commodity Code

Specifies the contractor commodity code for an alternate reportable piping commodity that is to be created with the primary piping commodity on the basis of the piping materials class. In an isometric drawing, only the primary piping commodity is depicted graphically. The materials list includes the short description of both the primary piping commodity and the reportable piping commodity. The data for the reportable piping commodity includes a commodity code and the corresponding short and long material descriptions, plus the typical data that is reported for any other piping commodity.

Associated Commodity Code

Specifies a commodity code for the associated stub end object to place when the piping designer places a backing flange as the primary commodity code item. This code is used to associate a stub end with a backing flange to create a lap joint flange assembly.

Bend Radius

Specifies the allowable measurement for the bend radius.

Bend Radius Multiplier

Specifies the bend radius multiplier for the selected bend. This overrides the default bend radius multiplier defined in the piping specification. This field is not available unless the Pipe Bend Radius By User option is set to Pipe Bend Radius By User Is Enabled in Catalog. You can find the option in Catalog under the Piping > Piping Specification > Model Options node in the tree view.

Comments

Specifies an optional brief description of the object.

Commodity Code

Specifies an option code. If you type 1, the software uses the default commodity defined in the Default Piping Commodity Selection Rule. Valid entries are listed in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook on the CommodityOption sheet in the Codelist Number column. The option code gives the software a way of recognizing the default component when more than one component works. This code is also used when selecting a branch fitting. This option is ignored in the automated selection of flanges.

Engineering Tag

Specifies the valve tag number. Engineering tags are used for valves on P&IDs instead of longer commodity codes. A one-to-one relationship exists between the valve tag number and the commodity code. Valve tags are useful for automated annotation on orthographic and isometric drawings because the valve tag is shorter than the corresponding commodity code. Piping designers can use engineering tags to select valves in the model.

Fabrication Class

Specifies the fabrication class. Fabrication classes are defined in the Fabrication Type select list.

First Size From

Specifies the lower bound of the largest nominal piping diameter for which this object applies within the Piping Materials Class.

First Size Schedule Practice

Specifies the schedule practice. This option is only required if the First Size Schedule is required.

First Size To

Specifies the upper bound of the largest nominal piping diameters for which this object applies within the Piping Materials Class.

First Size Units

Specifies the units for the First Size From and First Size To properties. For example, you could type in for inches or mm for millimeters.

First Size UOM Basis in Catalog

Specifies the units of measure basis code. Type 1 if the piping specification and the parts use the same unit of measurement. Type 5 if the piping specification and the parts have different units of measurement. Valid codes are listed in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook on the CatalogUnitsOfMeasureBasis sheet in the Codelist Number column.

Fluid System

Specifies the fluid system for which the piping commodity is permitted to be used. The software does not use this data in this version.

Jacketed Piping Basis

Specifies a jacketed piping code to indicate whether the piping commodity is required for the core piping, the jacketed piping, or the jumper tubing. Valid entries are listed in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook on the JacketedPipingBasis sheet in the Codelist Number column. This option allows the piping designer to select fittings from the same piping materials class on the basis of whether the core, the jacket, or the jumper is being modeled. The software does not use this data in this version.

Maximum Temperature

Specifies the maximum temperature for which this piping commodity is intended within this piping materials class. Include the units of measure, F or C for example, when specifying this value. A maximum temperature is required for those piping commodities that are not suitable for the full range of temperature for which the piping materials class is intended.

Minimum Temperature

Specifies the minimum temperature for which this piping commodity is intended within this piping materials class. Include the units of measure, F or C for example, when specifying this value. A minimum temperature is required for those piping commodities that are not suitable for the full range of temperature for which the piping materials class is intended.

Be careful if you decide to define values for Maximum Temperature and Minimum Temperature because the user must type a temperature for the pipe run before the software will find the commodity. An alternate, better method is to use the ServiceLimits sheet in the Piping Specification.xls workbook.

Multi Size Option

Specifies a string to represent an optional piping commodity selection for multi-sized fittings when the first size and second size are inadequate.

For example, if two additional sizes (2" and 1") are required in addition to a first size of 6" and a second size of 4", the string that would represent the sizes would be 6x4x2x1. The software interprets the string to determine the second size and the number of sizes in addition to the first size and second size. Do not include a unit of measure in the string. The unit of measure for the first size, defined in the First Size Units column, is used.

You can append the keywords Primary (primary size) and Secondary (secondary size) to the column headings for the nominal piping diameters at each end in the workbook for the part data to assign the size to a specific piping point instead of using the Multisize Option property. Fittings that require two sizes will be assumed to have the primary size assigned to the first piping point and the secondary size assigned to the second piping point. Multi-size fittings with three or more sizes must have the sizes assigned to the appropriate piping points by means of the multi-size option property. Fittings with exactly two sizes and three or more piping points may have the size assigned to the appropriate piping point by using these keywords.

Number Of Miter Cuts

Specifies the number of miter cuts required for a mitered elbow. This value must be a positive integer. This value is required only for mitered elbows. This box is optional in that the piping designer can specify the number of miters during placement.

Option Category

Specifies the parent category for the Commodity Option property.

PDS Modifier

Specifies the modifier from any specs translated from PDS to Smart 3Dx. The software does not use this data.

Piping Note 1

Specifies standard notes associated with the object.

Piping Note 10

Specifies standard notes associated with the object.

Piping Note 2

Specifies standard notes associated with the object.

Piping Note 3

Specifies standard notes associated with the object.

Piping Note 4

Specifies standard notes associated with the object.

Piping Note 5

Specifies standard notes associated with the object.

Piping Note 6

Specifies standard notes associated with the object.

Piping Note 7

Specifies standard notes associated with the object.

Piping Note 8

Specifies standard notes associated with the object.

Piping Note 9

Specifies standard notes associated with the object.

Preferred Pipe Length

Specifies the preferred pipe length for plain piping. This allows the specification writer to define the company preference for either design or procurement considerations.

Quantity Of Alternate Reportable Parts

Specifies the number of alternate reportable piping commodities to be reported per instance of the piping commodity. If you have defined a commodity code in the Alt Reportable Commodity Code column but do not define a value in this column, the software uses a default value of one.

Quantity Of Reportable Parts

Specifies an integer value that represents the quantity of objects to be reported per instance of the piping commodity. Typically, this value is one, but the value may be greater than one.

Reportable Commodity Code

Specifies a commodity code for the object to create when the piping designer places a primary commodity code item. For example, you might want a paddle spacer reported for each instance of a paddle blind placed in the model. In this case, the paddle spacer is reported, but not graphically placed in the model.

Second Size From

Specifies the lower bound of the next largest nominal piping diameter for which this object applies within the Piping Materials Class.

Second Size Schedule Practice

Specifies the schedule practice. This option is only required if the Second Size Schedule is required.

Second Size To

Specifies the upper bound of the next largest nominal piping diameters for which this object applies within the Piping Materials Class.

Second Size Units

Specifies the units for the Second Size From and Second Size To properties. For example, you could type in for inches or mm for millimeters.

Second Size UOM Basis in Catalog

Specifies the units of measure basis code. Type 1 if the piping specification and the parts use the same unit of measurement. Type 5 if the piping specification and the parts have different units of measurement. Valid codes are listed in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook on the CatalogUnitsOfMeasureBasis sheet in the Codelist Number column.

Selection Basis

Specifies the selection basis. Valid codes are listed in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook on the SelectionBasis sheet in the Codelist Number column.

Short Code

Specifies the short code associated with the object.

Supply Responsibility Override

Specifies the supply responsibility code. The supply responsibility code identifies the party responsible for supplying the commodity.
