Connection Compatibility Tables Exercise No. 15

Connection compatibility tables are referenced from within the Design module. When a DESIGNER connects one component to another, a check is made at the connection compatibility table to see if it is a valid connection. Below is a list of end conditions needed for your catalogue. Use this list to create the combinations needed.

BWD = Butt Weld

FBB = 150# RF Flange

FBD = 300# RF Flange

GBB = 150# RF Gasket

GBD = 300# RF Gasket

TUB = Pipe

Instructions: 1. Navigate to the WORLD level in the Members form.

2. Create a new Connection Compatibility Table (CCTA). Then create a COCO element to

list each connection combination needed for your catalogue. Both the Ctype and the Ckey

attribute of the COCO must be set.

3. All key-ins will need to be entered from the Commands and Requests window.

4. Set the Ckey attribute to PL for each pair of connection types in the COCO elements you

create. Utilities > Modify Ckeys is also available from the main menu bar if the required

COCO has been created.

5. Begin the exercise. (below is an example of how to start.)

COMMENTS:

Creating an Insulation Specification Exercise No. 16

Insulation parameters (IPARA) are used in conjunction with the component’s PARA’s to allow components to have a variable insulation thickness representation in the DESIGN model. The IPARA’s with the insulation specification will increase the thickness of a component if it meets certain criteria (i.e. BRAN Temp and bore size) in DESIGN. If the geometry set of a component is built properly with a supplemental IPARA in PARAGON, and the component INSULATION specification reference and TEMP attribute in the Design module point to a designated IPARAM, the component will be shown with a full volume that includes the insulation parameters. Create the required insulation components in Paragon, modify the piping components Gmsets, and then create and load an insulation specification using Specon. Instructions:

1) First navigate to SECT /XINSU. Create a new CATE called /INSU-IC. Now create the insulation components for thickness 1” through 2.1/2” using the following chart. Note that these components do not require a point set or geometry set.

SCOM name Gtype Para 1 (2x thk) Para 2 (1x thk)

/IC1 INSU 2in 1in

/IC1.5 INSU 3in 1.5in

/IC2 INSU 4in 2in

/IC2.5 INSU 5in 2.5in

2) Modify GMSETs of your pipe components to include the required IPARAMs

where necessary, i.e. for ELBO SCTO, Attrib Pdiameter would change to (PARA[3] + IPARA[1]). Iparam1 is 2x Insulation Thk.

PdiameterPARA 3

1x Insulation Thk

1x Insulation Thk

Page 20 of 33

If it is wished the component has a 2 inch wrap of insulation, the component is built with the addition of IPARA 1. If there is a larger wrap of insulation on a component, you could use IPARA 2 with a multiplier of whatever the desired wrap thickness would be.

3) Create a detail text (SDTE) to describe the type of insulation. Navigate to

/XINSU.SDTE and create Detail Text /CAL.SIL. Set the Rtext attribute to ‘Calcium Silicate’

4) Create a text file using the following table as a reference. This text will be macro’d into Specon to create the insulation specification.

$S- NEW SPECIFICATION /IC TEXT ‘INSU’ HEADING TYPE NAME PBOR0 TEMP CATREF DETAIL DEFAULTS - - - - INSU */IC1:A 1,24 0,100 /IC1 /CAL.SIL INSU */IC1:B 1,2.5 101,200 /IC1 /CAL.SIL INSU */IC1.5 3,24 101,200 /IC1.5 /CAL.SIL INSU */IC2 1.,2.5 201,400 /IC2 /CAL.SIL INSU */IC2.5 3,24 201,400 /IC2.5 /CAL.SIL $S+ For tracing specifications to be itemized in Isodraft, a tracing specification such as the following example is required: NEW SPEC /3/8CopperTube-Single NEW TEXT Stext ‘TRACE’ In DESIGN, the PIPE and BRAN need their Tspec attribute set to point to the Tracing Specification. For a graphical representation in DESIGN, the tracing must be modeled as a PIPE.

The Bolt Table (BLTA) is an administrative element that is used to group Bolt Lists (BLIS), Length Tables (LTAB), Multiple Bolt Lists (MBLI), and Text (TEXT) elements. Its legal owners include the WORL, SECT, or CATE.

1. Navigate to the World and create a Bolt Table for Imperial Bolts in your Catalog Database. NEW BLTA /XIMP.BOLTS

The Length Table (LTAB) is a member of the Bolt Table. The legal members of the Length Table include the Diameter Table (DTAB) and TEXT. You might use the length table for grouping Imperial and metric sizes and for grouping the available lengths of stud bolts and machine bolts. In the example given, BOLT refers to a stud bolt. It could be that you would create LTABs for Imperial stud bolts, Imperial machine bolts, Metric stud bolts and Metric machine bolts.

2. Create a Length Table as a member of Bolt Table /XIMP.BOLTS

NEW LTAB /XIMP.BOLTS.LENGTH The Diameter Table (DTAB) is a member of the Length Table and can have no descendants. Each diameter table element has a Blength attribute (a REAL array) that is used to store all the bolt lengths for a particular kind and size of bolt. These lengths are simply a list of lengths that are available from a vendor. The diameter table is used in old bolting as a reference to find the correct length of bolt when wafer components between flanges require a bolt length longer than that required for a standard flange set.

3. Create diameter tables (members of LTAB) for ½”, 5/8”, and ¾” diameter Imperial bolts. Diameter tables are used to define the available bolt lengths for a particular diameter bolt. The Blength attribute is a Real array that allows up to 200 values. The values are set to default session units unless otherwise specified. State at least the four first letters of the attribute name, enter a space, and then open parentheses. Enter all the values that are required (make sure they are separated by a space) and then close the parentheses and press the Enter key.

The Bolt List (BLIS) is an administrative element can be used to group single bolts by the flange rating and type (i.e. RF, RTJ, etc.) and the type of bolt being used (i.e. stud, machine, etc.).

4. Create a separate Bolt List (member of BLTA) for 150# & 300# RF Flanges. The Bolt List can be used to divide single bolts by the flange rating and type (i.e. RF, RTJ, etc.) and the type of bolt being used (i.e stud, machine, etc.). NEW BLIS /150#.RF..STUD NEW BLIS /300#.RF.STUD

The Single Bolt (SBOL) element is a member of the BLIS and has no members. Old bolting uses the following attributes:

The Nstdlength (Non-standard bolt length) reference attribute points to a Diameter Table in the event that additional wafer components are added to the flange set. The BDIAmeter (bolt diameter) attribute holds text that indicates the bolt diameter. The Length attribute is REAL and defines the length of bolt required for a standard flange set. The Noff (Number off) attribute is an INTEGER that stores the number of bolts required for a standard flange set. A naming convention for SBOLs is advisable. In the example given, X is used for training purposes. The first character is I, a code for Imperial. The second character is B, a code for stud bolt (you could use S if you like). The third character is the flange rating code (we used this for the Coco Table earlier) where B indicates 150#. The fourth character is the flange nominal bore, derived from Table 8 of the naming convention guide.

5. Create SBOLs (member of BLIS) for 1.1/2”, 2”, 3”, 4”, & 6” bore sizes for each BLIS.

The catalogue now requires the creation of the reference elements for the bolt specification components (SPCO), which includes a single “dummy” SCOM that all BOLT SPCOs will use for a Catref. This “dummy” SCOM must have the Gtype attribute set to BOLT, but it requires no point set or geometry set.

6. Navigate to SECT /XBOLT in the CATA /XCATA. Now create a component (SCOM) called /XDBOLT with the Gtyp attribute set to BOLT. There are no PTSET or GMSET references. This SCOM is a “dummy” for all bolt SPCOs to reference via the Catref attribute.

Each BOLT SPCO will also need a Detail Text (SDTE) and a Material Text (SMTE) for use by Isodraft.

a. Navigate to CATE /XBOLT.SDTE and create a Detail Text (SDTE) named /XDBOLT-D. Set the Rtext attribute (this is the Detail (Isodraft) field on the Detail Text Definition form) to ‘STUD BOLT CW HVY HEX NUTS’. No symbol key is required, so if you use the form, set only the name and the Detail fields.

b. Navigate to CATE /XBOLT.SMTE and create a Material Text (SMTE) named /XDBOLT-M. Set the Xtext attribute (this is the Material (Isodraft) field on the Material Text Definition form) to ‘ASTM A193-B7/2H’.

The piping specification /XA150 needs to be modified to complete the old bolting. First, the FLAN and flanged elements (valves, etc.) should be output in old format. The Bltref attribute should be set to point to the correct Single Bolt (SBOL). For example: HEADING NAME TYPE PBOR0 STYP SHOP CATREF DETAIL MATXT CMPREF BLTREF DEFAULTS - - - = = */2.0WNRF FLAN 2.00 WN TRUE /XAAFWBB0JJ /XAAFWBB0-D /SCH40.A105 =0 /XIBBJ */3.0WNRF FLAN 3.00 WN TRUE /XAAFWBB0LL /XAAFWBB0-D /SCH40.A105 =0 /XIBBL */4.0WNRF FLAN 4.00 WN TRUE /XAAFWBB0NN /XAAFWBB0-D /SCH40.A105 =0 /XIBBN

Now in new format, add the required bolts to SPEC /XA150 HEADING TYPE NAME PBOR0 CATREF DETAIL MATXT CMPREF BLTREF BOLT */2.0SB150 2.000 /XDBOLT /XDBOLT-D /XDBOLT-M =0 /XIBBJ BOLT */3.0SB150 3.000 /XDBOLT /XDBOLT-D /XDBOLT-M =0 /XIBBL BOLT */4.0SB150 4.000 /XDBOLT /XDBOLT-D /XDBOLT-M =0 /XIBBN

Mixed Bolt Sets If, for example, a component has connection points that have different bores and/or ratings, such as a relief valve, then you must create a Multiple Bolt List (MBLI) under the Bolt Table (BLTA). The MBLI is used to group Multiple Bolts (MBOL). You may wish to have a MBLI for 150#/150# connections, another MBLI for 300#/300# connections, another for 300#/150# connections, etc. The naming convention for MBOLs could be similar to the SBOL, with MBOL /IBDL-BN indicating a stud bolt sets for a 3” 300# flange and a 4” 150# flange. The SBRA (Special Bolt Reference Array) attribute of the MBOL can be set to a maximum of ten references to Single Bolts (SBOL). Note that the order of the SBOL names specified determines which SBOL is to be used for each connection point. If, for example, there was a component with flange connections at P1 and P3, you must enter a placeholder (Nulref for P2, i.e. SBRA /XIBBN =0 /XIBDL.

Once the flange SBOL has been selected, it is cross-referenced to obtain the detail and material text from the BOLT SPCO.

Command line example: /XIMP.BOLTS (Navigate to a Bolt Table element (BLTA)) NEW MBLI /150#-300# (Create a new multiple bolt list) NEW MBOL /XIBBN-DL (Create a new multiple bolt) SBRA /XIBBN /XIBDL (Set the bolt reference array to the single bolts required.) Once the catalogue work has been completed, the piping specification must be updated so that 1) the Bltref attribute of all SPCOs having multiple flanges with different rating/bore should be set to the name of the appropriate MBOL. 2) the specification should contain BOLT SPCOs for all single bolts named in the reference array of the multiple bolt.

New Bolting Exercise # 20 2) Bolting Through Wafer Components

PARAGON 1. Go to DTAB /XSTUD.75 and /XSTUD.625, and increase BLENGTH of each to: BLENGTH (4 4.25 4.5 4.75 5 5.25 5.5 5.75 6 6.25 6.5 6.75 7 7.25 7.5 7.75 8 8.25 8.5 8.75 9) Notes: You must enter all values simultaneously. To output the correct decimal places, use syntax PREC OUT DIS 3 DPLS 2. To create new 150# Wafer Check Valve SCOMs, first create a new SECT /XCHECK under CATA /XCATA. Use the copy/rename syntax to copy CATE /TMVWBD0.

NEW CATE /XTMVWBB0 COPY /TMVWBB0 REN /TMV /XTMV Note that we are copying the category as an exercise. In practice, your specification could be set up to use the existing category as the Catref for your VALV SPCOs. Notice that the connection type of this wafer component is WFBB. The first letter of the connection type is set to “W” and this is important as the bolt calculation will add this dimension to the bolt length. Remember that a COCO should be in place to define WFBB to be compatible with GBB. SPECON 3. Output all VALV in new format from SPEC /A. Edit the file to remove all valves except the Wafer Check Valves, then run the new SPCOmponents into SPEC /XA150. Remember to change “NEW SPECIFICATION /A” to “OLD SPECIFICATION /XA150”. Add an “X” in front of the Catref name to point to your SCOMs. Remove the line for the SPEC that says BSPEC =0 as we do not want to unset this attribute. DESIGN 4. Modify the BRANch created in Exercise #1 to this configuration:

Flange - Gasket – Valve (WCK) – Gasket – Flange

5. Connect Branch Tail to last member.

6. With FLAN 1 as the CE, select Query>General and then click on the Specific gadget. Now select “Bolt Information”.to see if the bolting requirements are correct and working properly. ISODRAFT 7. Generate an isometric of the branch or pipe. Verify the bolts in the BOM. Remember: Wafer components with no special bolting needs do not require a bolt pointset.
