This command is used to define the centerline of a pipeline prior to the actual placement of the pipingitems. The centerline is represented by piping segments which define the database attributes (such asnominal piping diameter for each segment of a pipeline. The created piping segments can be populated at a later time by the Place 8omponent and *utomated Placement commands. You can place a new piping segment or e tend an e isting segment. * piping segment is essentially a line stringwhich carries database attributes. Placement is accomplished by identifying the first end point andsuccessive vertices until you terminate the segment with 8onfirm (N 0 the *ccept and Start Segmentoption0 or the *ccept and Place 8omponent option. *fter you have accepted the piping segment0 thesoftware will automatically connect to the end of that piping segment.

'hen you place components on an e isting piping segment (with Place 8omponent or *utomatedPlacement 0 the system determines what type of component should be placed based on theconfiguration and attributes of the segment(s at the active placement point. The Spec Table 9ibrarycontains a set of tables which are used to determine the type of component to place and basicinformation about the components. +efer to the +eference Data Manager +eference ,uide a listing ofthese tables and instructions on modifying the tables.

ommodity Item (ame ,a-le

The Piping Designer reads the 8ommodity #tem "ame table when placing a component at the verte ofan e isting piping segment. This table lists the #tem "ames of the components to be used at differentsegment configurations (such as reduction0 branching0 or direction changes . #t enables you to relatethe component types hard4coded in the software with the applicable commodity item codes (itemnames . *s the system processes the segment for component placement0 it uses the derived item namefrom the table to reference the 8ommodity #tem entity of the P7S. 'hen placing change of directioncomponents0 this table is used in con)unction with the =end Deflection Table.

/end Deflection ,a-le

The bend deflection table is used when placing components at the verte of an e isting piping segment.The system uses the bend angle at the segment verte to determine the type of component to be placed.This table defines which full siBe and reducing siBe component types will be placed for a specifiedangle range. The angle is defined as the smallest angle that the continuation of one pipe run ma%eswith the other run. The component types are defined in the commodity item name table.

/ranc" Insertion ,a-les

2ach Piping Materials 8lass references a set of branch tables- one for EA degree branches0 one for >Hdegree branches0 and one for >H4EA degree branches. =ranch tables define the reinforcement to be usedat tee and lateral branches as a function of the acute angle of intersection and the nominal diameters(first and second siBe for the intersecting lines. The system accesses the branch table when placing acomponent at an intersection when no branch component e ists at that location. The system uses theinformation in the table and the first and second siBe to provide the item name of the component to beused at the intersection. Typically0 the codes are from one of the following types-

+einforcing elements0 such as reinforcing welds and pads.'eld4on components reinforcing the intersection such as saddles and weldolets.'eld4in components actually ma%ing the intersection such as laterals and tees.

The branch component is replaced by center and by using the orientation from the corresponding

three piping segments in the model. The branch componentIs placement model is permanentlyrevised to placement by center.

Default Option - The default mode allows the system to determine the weld type at each welded )ointof a pipeline or an active group. The weld type will remain as undefined (weld type value e uals onefor any non4welded )oint.

1or welded ends0 the determination of the weld type is assigned to a welded )oint as a function of thefabrication category of each of the mating welded ends. This user4 specified0 rules4based logic is

specified in a 'eld Type Table in the Piping 7ob Specification Table 9ibrary. +efer to the +eferenceData Manager +eference ,uide for more information on this table.

The system searches the table with the two applicable fabrication category values. #f the pair offabrication categories are not defined in the 'eld Type Table0 the weld type defaults to a value of onefor undefined or blan%.

The system determines the weld type on the basis of component pairs5 no decision is made if only oneof the ends at a welded )oint is %nown. 1or e ample0 you must manually assign the weld type for the piping that is connected to any welded noBBles.

The weld type is defined as undefined for any internal welds between the individual fittings and pipethat comprise an induction bend. The induction bend is recogniBed as any group of fittings and pipesthat share the same non4Bero component group number.

*ll welded )oints are assigned a weld type e ual to field weld (:: 0 if either welded end has aconstruction status of e isting.

This option automatically displays temporary field weld display only symbols for each welded )ointwith a field weld type defined by the system. 1ield weld symbols are also displayed for those welded )oints where a field weld type has been defined by the user.

*eld ,ype at ;oint -y $ser - This option specifies the weld type at a welded )oint. This action issaved in the componentIs user data and will be respected by the automated assignment of weld types.#n other words0 any definition of the weld type at a welded )oint made by the user will not be revised bythe automated assignment of weld types by the system.

*eld ,ype on Pipe -y $ser This option identifies a weld point at a specified point along the centerlineof a pipe. This action is saved in the componentIs user data and will be respected by the automatedassignment of weld types. This option results in two pipes representing the length and location of the previously created pipe.

Identify Pipe End

Place a data point to locate one end of the pipe. Specify Distance from Pipe 2nd or *ccept Mid Point on Pipe ey in a distance from the selected pipe end for the weld point or select 8onfirm (N to use the

midpoint of the pipe.

Thesystem determines the weld location as the intersection of the pipeIs flow centerline with theselected coordinate a is and coordinate value. You can also Select the Move from 6ther Pointoption to define the weld location point using a reference point. Select the connect point (or centerof a component or a verte of a piping segment.
