CHAPTER 2 2 Pipework Modelling The following Chapter describes how PDMS is used for modelling Pipework.g. etc. Alternatively the branch could leave the tee through the offline leg as shown. e. There is a separate design hierarchy for pipe routing.: valves. while a pipe may have any number of ends. tees. The difference between pipes and branches is that a branch is only considered to have two ends.aveva. www. it may own components (in this case a tee). as shown below. Below shows a pipe with three ends and two branches. and forms the basis of all existing designed PDMS Pipework. This brings in another rule that says that although a branch only has two ends. depending on the number of branches it owns. reducers. In principle. The second branch is connected to the first at the tee. flanges. branches may own a number of piping components. which connects to other branches. These simple concepts enable any number of piping configurations to be developed. each pipe element may own a number of branches.com 11 .

Once the Design application has been started. Design windows can be repositioned and. in some cases.aveva. All the components within PDMS must be defined in the Catalogue and be placed in a Specification before they can be sleeted.3 Setting the Appropriate Specification The first task when building a pipe is to decide which specification to use. the pipe /150-B-5 has the letter „B‟ to represent the specification.AVEVA Plant (12 Series) Pipework Modelling TM-1100 2. 2.2 Piping Specifications In the same way that design offices have standard piping specifications. the first letter in the pipe name represents the specification to be used. In the Training Project there are three such specifications: A1A A3B F1C = = = ANSI CLASS 150 CARBON STEEL ANSI CLASS 300 CARBON STEEL ANSI CLASS 150 STAINLESS STEEL These specifications contain all the fittings required for the course exercises. Any subsequent branches will automatically be assigned with the same specification (although this can be re-specified if required).com 13 .aveva. The specification letters are as follows: A = /A1A B = /A3B C = /F1C Having decided on the appropriate specification. PDMS has a set of specifications from which the designer can select. For the Training Project. For example. The default Insulation and Tracing Specifications can also be set using this form but are only active when ticked. this is then set as an attribute of the pipe. www. com 14 . www.

The Branch head is at the face of Nozzle 1 and the Branch Tail is at the face of Nozzle 2.6 Pipe Branches Branches serve two purposes: They define the start and finish points of a pipe route (known as the Head and Tail in PDMS). Pipes hold reference data i. a tee or various other points in your design. They own the piping components. These can be a position in space (3D co-ordinates). In PDMS it is only necessary to consider the fittings.7 Pipe Branch Heads and Tails All branches need to have a start and end point.com 15 .aveva. the flange face of a nozzle. it is necessary to navigate to the correct zone using the Design Explorer.

This will appear as a dotted line between the two points unless the head and tail are aligned along a common axis and have the same bore.AVEVA Plant (12 Series) Pipework Modelling TM-1100 2. (The dotted line indicates that the branch route is geometrically incorrect. it is created automatically and implied between adjacent fittings. PDMS derives these automatically from the catalogue. Just as on a drawing board. There is some intelligence built into the PDMS forms so that by placing for example a valve the associated Gaskets and Flanges will also be created. Tube does not have to be created explicitly. it is necessary to decide which piping components are needed in order to satisfy the requirements of the process. the following procedure must be followed: Select the component from the piping specification.10 Pipe Branch Components (Pipe Fittings) When a branch head and tail is initially defined.

AVEVA Plant (12 Series) Pipework Modelling TM-1100 7.2 Request and Approval Workflow Once the penetration hole has been specified and the „virtual‟ hole created. the Hole Management application provides a series of tasks for the Originator (Penetrating discipline) and Reviewer (Structural discipline). the following error message is displayed: The Hole Management associations are stored in an Association Group (ASSOGP) element owned by an Association World (ASSOWL) element.aveva. www. The ASSOWL and ASSOGP elements are normally pre-defined by the System Administrator. The Design Explorer may look like this: If no ASSOGP element with the Purpose set to HOLE can be found.1. Each association has several members of different element types that are not within the scope of this training guide.1 Hole Element Storage The „virtual hole‟ FIXING elements are stored in a FRMW owned by a STRU whose Purpose attribute is set to HOLE. the Hole Management application will create an ASSOGP in the first writeable ASSOWL element and set the Purpose attribute. These tasks are: Originator Tasks Request Redundant Cancel Request Delete Entry Reviewer Tasks Approve Reject Agree Redundant There are three main workflow scenarios for the request/approval cycle that are detailed in the following sections. The ASSOGP must also have its Purpose attribute set to HOLE. An association is created for each hole and named on a simple sequential numbering system.1. If a suitable STRU does not exist. for example: The STRU element is normally pre-defined by the System Administrator in the specific Design database.
