The following tasks deal with pipe spec management. Pipe spec is a specification that defines various process conditions for a specific pipe.
Use this procedure to define pipe specs in the Pipe Specs supporting table. You can perform this procedure either in Instrument Index or process data module.
Assign Pipe Specs to Instruments
You can assign pipe specs to instrument tag numbers in the EDE (Engineering Data Editor) module, in any default view of the Instrument Index View you create. You must add Pipe Specs properties from the EDE Actions tab to the EDE grid, and select from a drop down list of the cell numbers if you want to use pipe-spec sub-libraries in the Hook-Ups module and assign the tag numbers to hook-ups. Prior to assigning pipe specs to instrument tag numbers, you make pipe spec definitions in the Pipe Specs supporting table, which you can access either from the Instrument Index or from the Process Data module. In these modules, you can also assign pipe specs to line numbers.
Use this procedure to can assign pipe specs to lines. You can then display the pipe spec definition in the line process data sheet.
Associate Pipe Specs with Sub-Libraries
Use this procedure to associate one or more pipe specs with user-defined sub-libraries. After the association, when assigning instruments to hook-ups, you can only use instruments that have the source pipe spec data. You cannot use the default sub-library for pipe spec assignment.
Display Pipe Specs Assigned to a Hook-Up Item Sub-Library
Use this procedure to displays pipe specs associated with a specific user-defined hook-up item sub-library.
Dissociate a Pipe Spec from Lines
Use this procedure to dissociate a pipe spec from a line. You must perform this procedure if you need to delete this pipe spec from the Pipe Specs supporting table.
Use this procedure to delete a pipe spec from the Pipe Specs supporting table. You can perform this procedure either in the Instrument Index or Process Data module.
