Name
Displays the name of the pipeline. The pipeline name is based on the Name Rule selection. If you specify a name in this box, the software automatically sets the Name Rule box to User Defined.
Name Rule
Specifies the naming rule to use to name this pipeline. You can select one of the listed rules or specify the pipeline name yourself in the Name box.
Specification
Identifies the pipe specification the software uses to control this pipe run. Only those pipe specifications that are allowed in the pipeline that you selected appear in this list. You assign pipe specifications to pipeline systems in the System and Specifications task. You define pipe specifications in the reference data. See the Piping Reference Data Guide for more information on defining pipe specifications.
Minimum Slope
Displays the slope for the pipe run. You can specify the slope as a ratio, a percentage, or in degrees.
-
As a ratio, if a run drops 1/4" for every foot of horizontal distance, specify the slope as 1/4"/1'-0".
-
As a percentage, if a run drops 1" for every 10" of horizontal distance, specify the slope as 10%.
-
In degrees, a five-degree slope can be specified as 5deg.
Nominal Diameter
Specifies the nominal pipe diameter (NPD) for the pipe run. The pipe specification controls the available NPDs in this list. If you select an equipment nozzle as the starting point of your pipe run, the software automatically uses the NPD of the nozzle as the NPD of the pipe run. You can select the NPD units to display on a session file basis using the Tools > Options command on the Units of Measure tab.

Temperature and Pressure
-
Temperature and pressure values are controlled by UndefinedServiceLimitsruleOpt, which is available on the DefaultProjectOptions sheet in the Piping Specification.xls workbook. If this option is set to 5, then you must specify temperature and pressure values for all the pipe runs. If this option is set to 10, the software displays a warning: "No Temperature and pressure data has been defined for the pipe run being modeled. As a result, compliance with the temperature/pressure service limits as defined in the piping specification cannot be confirmed. Do you want to continue modeling the pipe run anyway?"
-
If your pipe specifications are material-driven, it is still recommended that you specify at least one set of temperature and pressure values for the pipe run.
