Component-specific attributes

Any of the attributes listed below may display in the Properties window when you select a pipeline in the Pipeline Explorer or Detail window.

The component attributes that display in the Properties window and the ability to edit those attributes is controlled by I-Configure. For more information, see Project Defaults and Attributes in the I-Configure Help.

Assembly ID

Identifies the site assembly ID number. Used to assign a number to bolted assemblies.

Displays the units of dimensions (inches or millimeters) currently used for bolt diameters as defined in the .mdb file. This property is read-only and cannot be modified.

Bolt Item Description

Specifies a description for the bolt.

BOP Elevation

Defines the bottom of pipe elevation. Typically, BOP Elevation is used to provide additional information for construction.

Category

Specifies the category. Select None, Erection, Fabrication, or Offshore. The category determines where in the material list the pipe or component is displayed.

  • Erection defines the component to be placed or constructed in the field. An erection component also creates a spool break.

  • Fabrication defines the component to be fabricated in a workshop.

  • Offshore defines the component to be placed or constructed in the field as part of an offshore operation.

Component Attribute (1-100)

Specifies any additional properties for the pipe or component. You can specify up to 100 user-defined properties. You can output user-defined properties on the bill of materials in the isometric drawing. You can also output component attributes next to the component within the isometric drawing.

Component Remark Number

Specifies the ID number that identifies the remark associated with the component.

Cut Piece Length

Specifies the required cut piece length of the pipe. Use the same units as those used to define the coordinates of the main pipeline.

Dial Face Direction

Specifies the direction of the face on the instrument dial or balloon. Select North, South, East, West, Up, or Down.

Direction

Provides a user-specified text string that indicates the required orientation direction when output as a message on the plotted isometric. Available only for the following: support, valve, instrument window/dial, orifice plate, eccentric reducer, and slip plate.

UP 45 NORTH
U 43 N

Enclosure

Specifies the type of enclosure that Isogen outputs on the isometric drawing with the Thickness Measurement Location (TML).

FlangeCutPlus

Specifies the positive cutting allowance required in length units. The software uses the flange cut allowance when calculating cut pipe length. The FlangeCutPlus property is available only for flanges.

FlangeCutMinus

Specifies the negative cutting allowance required in length units. The software uses the flange cut allowance when calculating cut pipe length. The FlangeCutMinus property is available only for flanges.

Flange Left Loose

Specifies whether the flange is left loose for site fitting. If you select On, the flange is left loose; if you select Off, it is not. The Flange Left Loose property is available only for flanges. You typically set this property in conjunction with a field fit weld to add extra length to the pipe.

Flat Direction

Specifies the direction the flat of the eccentric reducer is pointing. Select East, North, Up, West, South, or Down. In addition, you can type a direction string, such as E 35 N, that appears on the isometric drawing as a message. Available only for eccentric reducers.

Flow Direction

Specifies the direction of fluid flow for the pipe run.

Gasket Class

This property is only available for gaskets.

Gasket Rating

This property is only available for gaskets.

Gearbox

Identifies the gearbox orientation direction. Input data is a user-generated direction information message of any form. Available only for instruments and valves.

Ignored Tube

Specifies whether the pipe is ignored. That is, the software neither considers it in the computation of system dimensions nor displays it in the final isometric drawing. If you select True, the pipe is ignored. If you select False, the pipe is not ignored. Available only for pipes and is typically used to define fitting-to-fitting components.

Insulation

Specifies whether the component is insulated. If you select Yes, the isometric drawing displays a single dotted line to indicate that the pipe or component is insulated. If you select No, the pipe or component is not insulated.

Insulation Spec

Specifies the insulation specification reference.

Item Code

Specifies a unique identifier for the additional item. The item code (material code) identifies the additional item in the material list.

Item Description

Specifies a description for the component or additional item. Overrides the material description assigned from the specification.

Item Group

Allocates the component to the relevant section of the material list. Available only for an additional item

Jacket

Specifies whether the component is part of a jacketed system.

Jacket Spec

Specifies the jacket specification reference.

Length

Specifies the length of the associated pipe. Available only for an additional item.

Material List

Specifies how the component is to be handled on the material list in the generated isometric drawing.

  • Include includes the component item code on the material list only.

  • Exclude excludes the component item code from the Isogen Piping Component File, and subsequently on the material list on the generated drawing.

  • Include with Iso shows the item code local to the component on the isometric drawing and in the material list on the generated drawing. This option applies to inline components only.

Measurement Points

Indicates the number of placement points. This value must be a number. Available only for Thickness Measurement Location.
