Pipe spec is a specification that defines pipe properties for various process conditions. In Smart Instrumentation, the term pipe spec denotes a set of requirements for materials and construction of the pipelines and their components. You can include this information in a specification that defines various process conditions for a specific pipe In Smart Instrumentation, pipe specs are used for references and as a guideline for design in the areas affected by direct contact with process. These references include pipeline information in the Process Data module and installation item details you can display in hook- up drawings.

In a hook-up drawing, you can display all instrument you associate with a pipe spec. You make pipe spec definitions using the Pipe Specs supporting table, available either from the Instrument Index or Process Data module. After making your pipe spec definitions, you can assign a pipe spec to one or more lines in the Process Data or Instrument Index module. Also, you can assign a pipe spec to one or more instruments in the Browser or Instrument Index module. You do not use the Specifications module options to generate or manage pipe specs.

You then assign pipe specs to user-defined hook-up item sub-libraries and affect instrument - hook-up assignment. After assigning a pipe spec to a user-defined sub-library, when making instrument - hook-up associations, you can only use instruments that have the source pipe spec data. You cannot use the default sub-sub-library for pipe spec assignment.
