Expanded the Ignore Boundaries of Object Being Spooled option description in Options Tab (Spool Generation Dialog Box). You can start the Piping task by clicking Tasks > Piping. You can create pipelines under any previously created system. You create piping systems in the Systems and Specifications task. Limiting the selection of parts through the use of a piping specification helps the designer by eliminating the need to make decisions related to applicability. see the Piping Reference Data Guide or the Catalog Help. and safety of particular parts within particular pipeline services. The piping specification contains a grouping of piping materials classes that define the requirements. Piping systems are just a way to group objects. Piping Systems Piping systems are a way of organizing pipelines in your model. cost. For more information on the piping reference data and piping specifications. Before you start modeling. You are not restricted to piping systems when creating pipelines. by the piping designer who models the pipelines. Piping User’s Guide 11 . the specification author makes decisions in advance relating to both allowed parts and requirements for the parts that may be used in that service. you can create a fully rendered threedimensional model of the various pipelines in your model. Pipelines Pipelines are a way of organizing pipe runs in your model and are created in the Systems and Specifications task. characteristics. and behavior of the piping commodities for a specific service. When you create a pipeline. instruments. by what the pipelines carry. and splits during design and then spool the pipe. Within a particular design context or pipeline service. or by any other method that you choose. Part selection is further aided through the provision of rules regarding the usage of particular types of parts in particular design situations. which limits and sometimes automatically selects piping parts. You can create piping systems based on the area where the pipelines are located.Piping: An Overview Piping: An Overview The Piping task is used to model distributed pipelines in your model using a point-bypoint design method. Modeling of pipelines is aided by the piping specification. you are required to define a fluid requirement and a fluid type. Using the Piping task. there are some relationships and concepts that you need to know. procurement. You also can use this task to insert piping components. and are normally governed by the same pipe specification. branch. 12 Piping User’s Guide . You may want to think of features as logical collections of parts driven by the pipe specification. split. turn. end. you place features defining high-level design information as you go. The software automatically selects the specific parts based on the pipe specification of the pipe run. There are several basic features: straight. See the Piping Reference Data Guide for more information on defining pipe specifications. One or more pipe runs make up a pipeline. Pipe Features When you route a pipe run. All pipe features belong to a pipe run.Piping: An Overview Pipe Runs A pipe run is a connected series of pipe features that normally have the same nominal piping diameter (NPD) and flow direction. and along leg component.

When you add or remove a subsystem. If the connection is between parts with different permission groups. Prior to version 6. • • • • • Systems and Permission Groups A system is a logical grouping of sub-systems. Assignment of Permission Groups The first thing to know is how permission groups are assigned: • Objects that you create directly are assigned to the active permission group. the software creates an Intermediate End Feature (IEF) at the end of a pipe run connected to another pipe run and creates a logical connection between the two IEFs/runs. If the connection is between an equipment nozzle and a route part. Connections use the permission group of the parts to which they are connected.0. working on different runs such as when working in a Global Workshare Configuration. Piping User’s Guide 15 . Objects created automatically by the software are assigned a permission group determined by an internal set of rules. pipe route legs could be shared between pipe runs. The permission group assigned is not necessarily the active permission group. Everything can now be in the same permission group. Therefore. You do not need write access to the grandparent system. you are modifying the definition of the parent system. bolt sets. you do not need access to the system to which the pipeline belongs. However. the route part permission group is used for the connection. clamps) use the permission group of the connection that generated it.0 and later. The legs stop at the IEF and are no longer shared between pipe runs. You do not need to create a separate permission group for the pipe run and for the features of the pipe run. to create a pipe run. Remember. For example.Piping: An Overview Permission Groups and Routing: An Overview Several different users in different permission groups can work together when routing if you know how the software handles the different situations. End features use the permission group of the run to which they belong.0. you must have write access to the parent system. In version 6. Piping fully supports different users. that runs can be in a different permission group than its collective features and parts. Starting in version 6. Parts generated by features are assigned the permission group of the parent feature. Examples of automatically placed objects include connections and a pipe automatically inserted when two touching valves are separated. however. with different sets of privileges. the permission group to which the user has write access is used. gaskets. Piping connection objects (welds. John and Peter. write access. If John were to travel to Houston and log on there.

Peter then places a flange manually connecting to the open port of the gate valve. two users. When John works on his parts of the run. and PGPeter. are working on the same run with exclusive access. John should have full control access to PG-John while Peter should have read-only access to PG-John. Example Configuration A In this example. John can add columns. you should manage all permission groups at the host site. Houston.Piping: An Overview When participating in a Global Workshare Configuration. a straight piece. John routes his part of the run. places a flange. The two halves of the run should connect at a component such as a valve (piping) or a union (electrical). then continues routing. He can only "add" objects to the system. the "Pipe Rack 100" system and permission group is "duplicated" in London. he should use PG-Peter as the active permission group. During the workshare replication process. John and Peter. When Peter works on his parts of the run. and a union. Example Configuration B In this example. your host site is Houston and your satellite site is London. PG-John. You assign user John. For example. John is responsible for part of the run. he should use PG-John as the active permission group. In London. For example. John places an elbow. then continues his part of the run. You create a system called "Pipe Rack 100" and its controlling permission group in Houston. The sub-system requirement to have write access to its parent system is not possible if the sub-system's permission group is created at the satellite site and the parent system's permission group is created at the host site. The administrator should configure the permission groups as follows: 16 Piping User’s Guide . Peter connects to the open port of the union. who works in London. Neither John nor Peter should be able to modify the work of the other person. beams. For example. The run should be created using the PG-Run permission group. The administrator should configure the permission groups as follows: • Create three different permission groups: PG-Run. two users. are working on different but in-line connected runs with exclusive access. and Peter is responsible for the other part of the run. When Peter updates his out-of-date To Do List item. he should use PG-Peter as the active permission group. When Peter works on his part of the run. the software generates a To Do List item for John. Peter now wants to branch from John's run. Instead of creating the header component (such as a tee). are working on different runs connected by branching components such as a tee. The Intermediate End Features will handle the connection between the two parts of the run. When John updates the out-of-date To Do List item. Similarly. then generates a To Do List item for Peter. Peter should have full control access to PG-Peter while John should have read-only access to PG-Peter. The administrator should configure the permission groups as follows: • Create two permission groups: PG-John and PG-Peter. Peter should have full control access to PG-Peter while John should have read-only access to PG-Peter. the software fixes the branch leg (the end of the branch leg is adjusted to the tee port). John and Peter. Example Configuration C In this example. John creates an initial header run using PG-John as the active permission group and routes it as needed.Piping: An Overview • Create two different permission groups: PG-John and PG-Peter. Piping User’s Guide 17 . John should have full control access to PG-John while Peter should have read-only access to PG-John. the software modifies the header to add the tee. Peter sets PG-Peter as the active permission group and selects the header in John's run from which to branch. John should create the run using the PG-John permission group and route his part of the run. two users. John should have full control access to PG-John while Peter should have readonly access to PG-John. This is called a double handshaking mechanism. Similarly.

If the complete run highlights everything is ok. 26 Piping User’s Guide . find a logical stopping point (such as an elbow). There are piping components that are still members of that first run. 3. After this tee is made a member of the original run. Understanding the Piping Workflow: An Overview To change a piping component to another run: 1. Set the locate filter to Piping Features. 2. Select the component. 3. Change the system to which that component is a member. Tees placed during routing should NOT be rotated and place by the branch port (making the existing route a branch instead of a header). This will cause a topologychecking problem. All tees, on headers, should be taken at the default orientation.

All aspects of jacketed piping can be accomplished using the current version of SmartPlant 3D. There are currently no specific tools to model jacketed piping as one pipeline or to perform the routing of both internal and external piping in a single step. However, there is enough capabilities within the product and in the notation capabilities within the ISOGEN interface which makes it possible to create all the model graphics and necessary drawings to satisfy material requirements and to communicate fabrication and erection requirements through standard SmartPlant 3D drawing output. This method, referred to hereafter as Redundant Modeling, requires that piping materials are placed in the SmartPlant 3D model for both the external and internal portions of the jacket piping system. Redundant Modeling Redundant modeling is a method where internal piping (the core) is contained in one pipeline, and the external piping (the jacket) is overlaid on the internal piping in a separate jacket pipeline. This allows for the independent extraction of internal and external piping materials, using ISOGEN, without any problems with overlapping segments. For example, if piping area 01 has the requirement for jacket piping systems, then create an associated pipeline to contain the external piping. Redundant modeling is the best way to handle jacket piping systems when the contractor's scope includes detailed fabrication drawings, isometric drawings, material procurement, and precise configuration depiction.

This is just an example to express one method. Your specific contract standards and requirements may dictate a different method than what is recommended here. For jacketed piping, we recommend that you create a different piping system for each jacketed pipeline. In the example figure, the jacketed piping system is located in Area-1-0201 and is named "Process Line-1-0201". Then under the piping system, create two pipelines , one pipeline for the core (named Area-1-02010000-P) and one pipeline for the jacket (named Area-102010000-S). The individual pipe runs and pipe parts will then appear under the corresponding pipelines for the core and jacket. You need to create separate pipelines core and jacket for several reasons: • for the The core and jacket pipelines have different fluid requirements. This is a property on the pipeline object so two pipelines are needed for the two fluid requirements. Creates unique pipeline ID's for isometric drawings to prevent confusion between the core and jacket isometric drawings. • Creating the Jacketed Piping System 1.

The easiest method for modeling the jacket pipeline is to start at one end of core pipeline and work towards the other end. 1.Understanding the Piping Workflow: An Overview detection when the implied method is being used. Piping User’s Guide 33 . One way to model the jacket piping system is shown below (using a transparent view style). If you do. you will create a branch between the core and the jacket pipe runs. The jacket pipe is welded to the back of the core flange. Related Topics • Modeling Jacketed Piping: An Overview. Important • When routing the jacket pipes and components.

Understanding the Piping Workflow: An Overview 40 Piping User’s Guide Routing a Pipe Run: An Overview Routing a Pipe Run: An Overview The Route Pipe command defines the geometry and properties of a pipe network. Route Pipe creates pipe runs, models the newly created run, or extends an existing pipe run. Route Pipe also creates features and components as driven by constraints, pipe specifications, and catalogs. The Route Pipe command also works with the Insert Split and Insert Component commands to add features while routing. After placing the feature, such as a gate valve, the route command automatically restarts from the open port of the inserted feature. Route Pipe also uses the concept of routing on a plane to enable quick, precision creation of pipe runs. The Route Pipe command supports the following: Routing using an existing pipe run • Routing using a newly created pipe run • Routing using a pipe run defined in the P&ID design basis (if P&ID design basis data is available) • Routing to and from an end feature • Routing to and from an equipment nozzle • Routing to and from a straight feature (creating a branch) • Inserting a component while routing • Inserting a split while routing When routing any pipe run, the major steps include selecting a starting point, defining the characteristics of the run (nominal pipe diameter, piping specification, options), routing the run point-by-point, and selecting the end point of the run. • Routing To or From a Straight Feature, End Feature, or Nozzle In addition to the basic functions of creating new runs or extending previous runs, the Route Pipe command supports routing to or from straight features, end features, and nozzles. When routing a pipe run, you can define the run starting point either before or after clicking the Route Pipe command. In either case, if a feature was selected, the command determines the default working plane based on that feature. Additionally, the command determines whether to continue the pipe run associated with that feature or to create a new run. The software automatically generates any parts required for the connection, including branch components. This functionality allows you to easily extend or branch out of a previously modeled pipe run.

A branch feature connected to the moved leg maintains its original angle. When equipment moves. the leg moves with the equipment nozzle to remain collinear with the nozzle as much as possible. For example. The move direction is always perpendicular to the axis of the straight feature.Moving Pipe Features: An Overview Moving Pipe Features: An Overview After you complete a pipe run. or when they overlap with adjacent parts on connected legs. The various types of features that you can move in this method include the following: Straight Features The straight feature and other connected route features move subject to the following rules: • Moving a straight feature moves the entire leg to which the feature is connected. the move is along the other leg. you can precisely locate each feature in the layout of your piping systems. connection points. the move is along the bisector. you can use the orientation handles to align the bottom of pipe with the top of a beam. Using this ability to move features of your pipe runs. the software deletes the turn. • • • • When moving straight features. you can select one of the orientation handles that appear at the ends of the straight feature as your "move from" point. you can alter the route of the pipe. If either angle 2 or 3 is locked. These orientation handles allow you to move the pipe in relation to the edge of the pipe instead of the pipe centerline. Movement stops when parts on the associated leg overlap. or component placement. If neither angle 2 or 3 is locked. you can move the features of that run. Turn Features The turn feature and other connected route features move subject to the following rules: • If you move a turn to a position where the two adjacent legs are collinear (that is. By dragging the features. the turn reaches 180 degrees). page 75 • Move a Feature Break. Along Leg Features that are not branches (valves and flanges are examples) maintain a position at a constant distance from the fixed end of the leg.

You can move along leg features along the pipe on which you placed them. Moving the end feature edits the topology of the turn feature or the branch feature if connected to another leg. You can move the branch feature along the associated straight feature. The software prevents you from moving the along leg feature past the end of the pipe or to a position that would cause parts to overlap. the angle between the branch feature and the branch leg appears in a dynamic readout.

While routing, when you select the Insert Split command the software places the default split type at the location of the last point you selected. If you select the Insert Split command and then select an existing pipe, you have two options. • You can have the software cut the pipe feature into two features that represent two pipe parts joined by a weld joint or a takedown joint. You can have the software cut the pipe feature into two features that represent a single pipe part using a feature break. When splitting using a feature break, no weld or connection is placed so the two-features combined represent a single pipe part. By using a feature break, you can stop heat-tracing, insulation, or a surface coating at an arbitrary location along the pipe instead of at a weld or other break in the line. • When you insert a takedown joint, the software automatically selects and positions the necessary mating parts based on the split feature information in the pipe specification defined for the pipe run. If you select a sleeved weld joint, the software automatically selects and positions the sleeve. The software uses the reference data that defines specific parts for standard splits. The allowed parts are generally a very restricted subset of the parts (flanges and sleeves) that are allowed for general placement by the specification. You can select an existing split and edit any part of the split feature definition by clicking the appropriate ribbon control. Note • Special takedown joints not covered by the pipe specification split rules can be manually created by inserting flange components using the Insert Component command. When you place a flange manually as a component, the software automatically cuts the pipe and inserts the appropriate mating part for the flange.

The software creates these spool assemblies by applying a set of rules that breaks the assemblies into pieces of a pipeline system. Then. Standard spools are based solely upon the pipeline that contains the spools and a set of spooling rules. What Spools Include The software includes in spools any piping component or piece of pipe that is assigned a fabrication type of by fabricator. Additionally. Each piece ends with a spool-breaking component or connection type. The spool information can also be included on erection (construction) isometrics. set the option for showing spool piece identifiers for an isometric drawing style. bolted connections. and compression fittings. extract some test drawings using the updated isometric drawing style. The software always breaks spools at field welds. These drawings. After a pipeline is spooled. nuts. To display the latest spool information on isometric drawings. You can specify whether spools break or not at unions. the spool can be used to create an isometric drawing for fabrication. There are two types of spools. Implied objects like bolts. After a spool is generated. typically referred to a spool sheets. spools are created by identifying components or end-preparations that represent intrinsic breaks in the line. Each of the penetration spools is welded to a common penetration plate. and gaskets that are associated with these parts are not included in spools. multiple piping spools are included in the assembly along with the common penetration plate to which they are attached. After generating the spools. The Generate Spools and Create Penetration Spools commands provide a dialog box on which you can select objects for spooling. the pipeline becomes the parent object of the spools. Where Spools Break When the software processes a pipeline system.Spooling: An Overview Spooling: An Overview Spools are collections of piping parts and the welds that hold them together. This process allows spools to be named after the pipeline and helps keeps track of spools that may be out of date based on the modification date of the parent object. Each spool must consist of connected objects for the spooling to occur without errors. the software provides the ability to create penetration spools. In penetration spools. are tied to the spool and are marked as being out-of-date if the spool is subsequently modified. the software stores them in the Plant database and displays the spools on the Assembly tab in the Workspace Explorer. You can specify options to include pipe support parts in the same spools as the components to which they are welded. This check helps to ensure the spools that require dipping in a tank for galvanization. and so forth will actually fit in the immersion tank. You can check for oversized spools in the following ways: • View the Assembly tab of the Workspace Explorer. For more information about naming rules. The mark number is use to ensure that the spool name is unique and to provide a sequencing of spools within a pipeline. page 157. View the Properties dialog box for the spool. and width spool dimensions that you can specify. The icon for an oversized spool contains a black X: . the icon for an oversized spool contains a black X: .xls workbook and then bulk load the workbook into the Catalog. To change the dimension values permanently. the software breaks the spool and proceeds with processing the remainder of the pipeline. The software marks spools that exceed the maximum size as oversized so that the designer can insert additional breaks as needed. or to ignore control points. Specifying Oversized Spools The software checks at creation time the size of each spool against the maximum length. The SpoolOversizedFlag property on the Occurrence tab is set to True if the spool is oversized. Click File > Define Workspace and view the Assembly tab on the Filter Properties dialog box. see the SmartPlant 3D Reference Data Guide available from the Help > Printable Guides command. If the software finds a gap when processing a pipeline system. edit options on the PipeMfgSpoolRule sheet in the BulkLoadIsoKeys. For more information. You can modify the naming rules to match your company needs. or are too large for shipping. Also. You also can interactively change the name of a spool by selecting it. de-scaling and pickling. see the Spool Break by Control Point information in Options Tab (Spool Generation Dialog Box). You have the option to break only at control points. height. • • 154 Piping User’s Guide . you can place control points at connection objects using the Insert > Control Point command to break spools along the pipeline. Again. The default spool name contains a prefix based on the spool parent and a mark number. and you can temporarily change these values if required. spools can be marked oversized that are too large to fit in fabrication equipment such as bending machines or annealing ovens. How Spools Are Named The software uses a default naming rule to give each spool a unique name. The default values in the reference data are 40 feet by 8 feet by 8 feet. break at control points and intrinsic breaks.Spooling: An Overview In addition. and typing a different name. displaying the Properties dialog box. Existing spools are only deleted as required. Related Topics • Create Penetration Spools. New spools are only created as needed and existing spools do not lose their numbers (even if the result is that the numbers are now out of sequence within the pipeline). When a pipeline is re-spooled. page 160 Piping User’s Guide 155 .Spooling: An Overview Updating Spools The software uses a detailed change management routine that prevents existing spools from being arbitrarily renumbered. only the portion of the pipeline that has changed is impacted by the changes to its spools. This change management ensures that spool are not needlessly modified and that spool sheets are not marked as being out-of-date unless that is absolutely the case. page 164 • Create Spools.

If you need to change the spooling options in the Catalog, edit options on the PipeMfgSpoolRule sheet in the BulkLoadIsoKeys.xls workbook and then bulk load the workbook into the Catalog. Name Rule - Specifies the naming rule for spools. Break Spools at Union - Specifies that the software breaks the spools at unions. The union part must have its Commodity Type property set to "Union" for the spooling software to recognize the union as a break point. Include Stub Ins with Header Spool - Specifies that a spool can include the stub-in pipe and all the parts of this stub-in branch until the first spool breaking component is encountered. Include Items Welded to Pipe in Spools - Includes welded objects, such as pipe hanger or support parts, in the same spool as the components to which they are welded. Delete Existing Spools - Changes the spool numbering only at modified or added piping. When a drawing is re-extracted, the software recalls the repeated data to avoid changing drawing split points and part, weld, and spool numbers. This setting guarantees that the software applies the same piece marks (spool names) to spools, even if spools are regenerated. Ignore Boundaries of Object Being Spooled - When set to False, the software will not cross the boundary of the pipeline or block. When set to True, the software will cross the boundary of the pipeline or block for spool generation until an intrinsic spool break is found. This feature is intended for use when spooling by block. To use this option correctly, you need to understand the concept of intrinsic breaks. The spooling software starts a new spool any time it hits an intrinsic break: • • • • • extents of the collection being spooled (pipeline or assembly) bolted connection (field) welded connection change in fabrication category from shop to field union (optional controlled by the Break Spools at Union option described above) Piping User’s Guide 157 Spooling: An Overview • clamped connections The 'extent of the collection being spooled' is the most important intrinsic break condition. If a pipeline is spooled, the software breaks the spool at the end of the pipeline regardless of what is there. Normally, there is no conflict with the other intrinsic break conditions; however, a conflict can occasionally happen. For example, it does not matter if the pipeline is connected to another pipeline by a shop weld (which would normally not be a spool break), the software will still start a new spool at this point. So, in listing the intrinsic breaks in order of importance, the 'extents of the collection being spooled' should always be at the top because it normally trumps any other intrinsic break condition if a conflict arises. Whatever is being spooled -pipeline or block -- that is the 'basket of parts' that the spool software has to work with. The software does not go outside of that basket for any reason unless the Ignore Boundaries of Object Being Spooled is set to True. In that case, the spool software does steal connected parts from outside of its basket until it hits an intrinsic break, an open end, or it runs out of parts. The spool software will not steal a part from outside the provided basket if that part already belongs to another spool. So, to describe this rule very simply: setting Ignore Boundaries of Object Being Spooled to True 'turns off' the first intrinsic break rule from the above list. Maximum Spool Length - Provides the maximum length of a spool for oversizing calculation purposes. You should enter ft (feet) for the units. If you specify units other than feet, the software uses meters as the units. Maximum Spool Width - Provides the maximum width of a spool for oversizing calculation purposes. You should enter ft (feet) for the units. If you specify units other than feet, the software uses meters as the units. Maximum Spool Height - Provides the maximum height of a spool for oversizing calculation purposes. You should enter ft (feet) for the units. If you specify units other than feet, the software uses meters as the units. Spool Break By Control Point - Specifies if spools should break at control points. You can place control points using the Insert > Control Point command. You must set the control point Subtype to Spool Break in order to use the control point with this option. In addition, the control point must be placed on the connection object. Use QuickPick to verify that you have selected the connection object when placing the control point for the spool break. 158 Piping User’s Guide Spooling: An Overview Select Ignore Control Points to ignore the control points during spooling. Select Break at Control Points to break spools at the normal intrinsic line breaks and at control points. Select Break Only at Control Points to break spools only at control points.
