The SM1PipingTap sheet in the HVAC.xls workbook defines the reference data for one surface-mounted piping tap on an HVAC duct for instrument assembly.
PartNumber
Type the part number for the surface-mounted piping tap. Examples include:
-
SM1PTapSWhalfin - A surface-mounted piping tap that is socket-welded (represented by SW) and has .5" (represented by halfin) nominal piping diameter
-
SM1PTapFThalfin - A surface-mounted piping tap that is female-threaded (represented by FT) and has .5" (represented by halfin) nominal piping diameter
Part numbers for surface- mounted piping taps must be unique throughout the entire Catalog.
ComponentType
Type the component type for the piping tap.
PartDescription
Type a description for the piping tap. An example is Rect_Sleeve.
SymbolDefinition
Type the symbol definition for the piping tap.
For the remaining properties, (i) indicates an integer corresponding to a nozzle number assigned to the piping tap. This method avoids a lengthy listing for all possibilities, like Nozzle(1):CrossSection, Nozzle(2):CrossSection, and Nozzle(3):CrossSection for three possible nozzles. When you type the nozzle properties in the workbook, substitute a number for i to assign the nozzle to the appropriate property.
Nozzle(i):Npd
Type the nominal piping diameter for the nozzle port.
Nozzle(i):NpdUnitType
Type the unit type for the nozzle port.
Nozzle(i):EndPrep
Type the coded end preparation for the nozzle. Examples of end preparations include Threaded, Screwed, Plain End, Welded, Bolted, Female, Male, and Ferule. In the reference data, a number represents each type of end preparation (for example, 1 for Threaded, 2 for Screwed and so on).
Nozzle(i):EndStandard
Type the coded end standard for the nozzle.
Nozzle(i):ScheduleThickness
Type the schedule thickness for the nozzle.
Nozzle(i):PressureRating
Type the pressure rating for the nozzle.
Nozzle(i)FlowDirection
Type the flow direction for the nozzle.
Nozzle(i)PipingPointBasis
Type the piping point basis for the nozzle.
