The PipeSpec utility is not available unless the appropriate settings and program IDs are assigned in Options Manager and Data Dictionary Manager respectively. See Configure Piping Specification Settings and Enter Required ProgIDs.

  1. Select an inline component that belongs to a pipe run whose piping materials class has been defined. See Assign a Piping Materials Class to a Pipe Run Using the Piping Specification Utility.

  2. In the Properties window, define the Nominal Piping Diameter property for the component.

    SHARED Tip You can verify that a commodity code (in all 3D databases) and fabrication category (in PDS 3D databases only) have been assigned in the Properties window, or you can open the error log, PipeSpecError.log, if properties have not been assigned as expected.

  • If continuous validation is turned on for the PipeSpec utility, then a pipe run with temperature-pressure limits that do not agree with its PMC generates Error in PMC in the commodity code for an inline component.

  • With continuous validation, not only is the commodity code defined automatically, but for PDS 3D, so is the Fabrication Category property for the inline components, if the relationship is defined in your PDS 3D database.

  • Adding or changing the option code can change the commodity code, if the relationship is defined in your PDS 3D database.

  • If continuous validation is not activated but other appropriate settings and program IDs are assigned, you can still select the Calc button PPM All Outputs Graphic for the Commodity Code property and choose a code. However this does not verify that the component agrees with a piping specification.

  • For additional information about the behavior of specific 3D databases when returning commodity codes, see Using the Piping Specification Utility.
