Provides the following databases:

  • CRANE steel valves and total flange length

  • GENERIC valves and 2/3 flange length

  • Corner and Lada valves - no flanges

  • CADWorx Plant (this is the CAESAR II default)

The CRANE database contains all flanged and welded fittings in the CRANE steel valve catalog. The GENERIC database contains information from a variety of sources. In some cases, such as weights for control valves, information from different sources was found to vary considerably. In these cases, the largest reasonable weight was selected for use in the database. In other cases, only the length of the fitting was available.

The default database, CADWorx Plant, is a subset of the full component database provided with CADWorx Plant, Intergraph CAS's piping design and drafting software. This database offers nine different component types (gate, globe, check, control, ball, plug, butterfly valves, flange pair, and single flange) as well as four different end types (flanged, no-flanged, threaded, or socket). Selection of flanged-end components or flanges themselves automatically provides for gaskets.

Rigid Type

Specifies the rigid type for the fitting.

End Type

Specifies the end type for the fitting.

Selecting flanged ends (FLG) for a valve adds the length and weight of two flanges and gaskets to the valve length and weight. NOFLG selects a valve without including the two mating flanges.

Class

Specifies the class for the fitting.

Whole element

Indicates that the selections apply to the whole element.

From end

Indicates that the selections apply to the From end of the fitting.

To end

Indicates that the selections apply to the To end of the fitting.

Both ends

Indicates that the selections apply to both ends of the fitting.

Flange-Valve-Flange

Automatically generates data lengths and weights of rigid elements for flange-valve-flange combinations.

Activate Flange Check

Turns on the flange check.

If you use Valve Flange Database and have not previously typed a value for Element Name, then the software creates a name in the format <Rigid Type>_<End Type>_<Class>. You can type a different name.
