The following types of geometrics are used in the construction of the Thickness grid.
-
Nominal sizes
-
Filter geometrics
-
Schedules
Nominal Sizes
A nominal size table can be created on S.40.01 Nominal Sizes in the Oracle Forms application. A nominal size table consists of NPD (nominal size), Comment, and Ctrl columns.
The nominal size table is selected from the Diameter Series selection list on the Spec Editor Cover page.
Filter geometrics
A filter geometrics table can be created on S.40.13 Filter Geometrics in the Oracle Forms application. The attributes or columns for a filter geometrics table must be added manually, on A.50.03 Tables/Attributes in the Oracles Forms application. Normally, nominal piping size and wall thickness attributes are added to create a filter geometrics table. But, if required, a schedule attribute can also be added.
The filter geometrics table is selected from the Preferred Thicknesses selection list on the Spec Editor Cover page.
Schedules
A schedule table can be created on S.40.06 Schedule in the Oracle Forms application. A schedule table consists of NPD (nominal size), Schedule, Wt (wall thickness), Tolerance, In Diam, and Ctrl columns.
Schedule tables must be linked to the main material detail on the Material Schedule Dependencies screen in Smart Reference Data Plus.
