Displays and defines the general properties of the component feature.
Note
• Component features inherit some properties from the parent pipe run. If you change the pipe run property, the corresponding component properties also automatically change.
Category - Component properties are divided into different categories: Standard, Insulation and Tracing, and Surface Treatment and Coating. You can select the category to define values for by using the Category option.
Standard
Pipeline - Displays the system to which the component feature belongs. You cannot change the system of the component feature.
Pipe Run - Specifies the pipe run to which the component feature belongs. Other pipe runs in the same system as the original pipe run appear for selection.
Specification - Specifies the active pipe specification for the component feature. All pipe specifications that are allowed for the system parent of the pipe run appear for selection. If appears in the box, the pipe specification is inherited from the pipe run to which the component feature belongs. If the icon does not appear, and you want to use the pipe specification from the pipe run, select Use Run Specification.
Nominal Diameter - Specifies the nominal diameter (NPD) of the component
feature. If appears in the box, the NPD for the component feature is inherited from the pipe run to which the component feature belongs. If the icon does not appear, and you want to use the pipe specification from the pipe run, select Use Run NPD. If you have manually selected the part, the NPD of the selected part appears as a read-only value.
Type - Displays the types of component features allowed by the selected
Specification and Nominal Diameter. component features are listed by short codes.
You can change the component feature type if needed. If you have manually selected the part, this box displays Part selected manually and cannot be changed.
Option - Displays a list of available component features. The software generates this list based on the pipe specification, the NPD, and the short code that you selected in the Type box. If you have manually selected the part, this box displays Part selected manually and cannot be changed.
Base Part Name - Displays the part name for the component feature. The software selects the part name using the pipe specification guidelines. Select the Select Manually option to override the pipe specification, and select the part number from the catalog. If you select a part manually, the Nominal Diameter, Type and Option properties are disabled.
Correlation Status - Displays whether the component has been correlated to a component in a P&ID.
Correlation Basis - Specifies if the component is correlated to a P&ID component.
Select Correlate object if the component has a correlating component in a P&ID.
Select No correlation is required if the component does not have a correlating component in a P&ID.
Insulation and Tracing
Insulation Specification - Displays the insulation specification for the object. If appears in the box, the insulation specification for the object is inherited from the pipe run to which the object belongs.
You define which insulation specifications are available for which systems in the System and Specifications task. You define insulation specifications in the reference data. If you select Not Insulated, the software disables the remaining insulation properties.
Select User Defined to specify the remaining insulation properties using custom settings.
Select More to select a insulation specification from the reference data. The software automatically enters information from the insulation specification. For more
information, see Insulation Specification Dialog Box, page 54.
Insulation Purpose - Displays the purpose of the insulation. If you selected Not Insulated in the Insulation Specification box, you cannot change the information in
Insulation Material - Displays the material of the insulation. If you selected Not Insulated in the Insulation Specification box, you cannot change the information in the Insulation Material box. However, if Insulation Specification is manually defined, you can select the insulation material that you want to use. If Insulation Specification is a selected reference data insulation specification, the software reads the material from the insulation specification from the reference data and displays it here.
Insulation Thickness - Displays the thickness of the insulation. If you selected Not Insulated in the Insulation Specification box, you cannot change the information in the Insulation Thickness box. However, if Insulation Specification is manually defined, select the insulation thickness from those values allowed for the material in the reference data. If the value in the Insulation Specification field is a selected reference data insulation specification, the software reads the thickness from the insulation specification from the reference data and displays it here.
Insulation Temperature - Type the temperature. Include the temperature unit of measure, K for Kelvin, F for Fahrenheit, or C for Celsius for example, when specifying this value.
Heat Tracing Requirement - Select whether or not the object is heat-traced. If you want to add, edit, or remove values that are available for selection, edit the Heat Tracing Medium sheet in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook in the reference data.
Heat Tracing Type - Select the type of heat-tracing. If you want to add, edit, or remove values that are available for selection, edit the Heat Tracing Medium sheet in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook in the reference data.
Heat Tracing Medium - Select the heat-tracing medium to apply to the object. If you want to add, edit, or remove values that are available for selection, edit the Heat Tracing Medium sheet in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook in the reference data.
Heat Tracing Medium Temperature - Specify the temperature of the heat-tracing medium. Include the temperature unit of measure, K for Kelvin, F for Fahrenheit, or C for Celsius for example, when specifying this value.
Surface Treatment and Coating
Interior Surface Treatment - Select the treatment for the interior of the object. If you want to add, edit, or remove values that are available for selection, edit the Interior Surface Treatment sheet in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook in the reference data.
Exterior Surface Treatment - Select the treatment for the exterior of the object. If you want to add, edit, or remove values that are available for selection, edit the Exterior Surface Treatment sheet in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook in the reference data.
Cleaning Requirement - Select the cleaning requirement for the object. If you want to add, edit, or remove values that are available for selection, edit the Cleaning Requirement sheet in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook in the reference data.
Steamout Requirement - Select the steam out requirement for the object. If you want to add, edit, or remove values that are available for selection, edit the Steamout Requirement sheet in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook in the reference data.
Steamout Pressure - Specify the steamout pressure for the object. Include the pressure unit of measure, psi for pounds per square inch for example, when specifying this value.
Steamout Temperature - Specify the steamout temperature for the object. Include the temperature unit of measure, K for Kelvin, F for Fahrenheit, or C for Celsius for example, when specifying this value.
Coating Requirement - Select the coating requirement for the object. If you want to add, edit, or remove values that are available for selection, edit the Coating Type sheet in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook in the reference data.
Coating Type - Select the type of coating for the object. If you want to add, edit, or remove values that are available for selection, edit the Coating Type sheet in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook in the reference data.
Coating Color - Select the color of the object coating. If you want to add, edit, or remove values that are available for selection, edit the Coating Color sheet in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook in the reference data.
Coating Area - Enter total area that the coating covers.
