Piping Major Items Element
Primary Element

The PIPE is an administrative owner of one or more two-ended BRANCHes. Usually a PIPE will include a principle BRANCH routed between two NOZZLES, with subsidiary BRANCHes for control loops, bypasses to spare pumps and so on. The PIPE contains functional attributes of three types:

•

Those which are used directly from the PIPE element (by modules such as ISODRAFT) as a collective attribute for all the BRANCHes in the PIPE, for example: Pipe Spec (PSPE).

•

Those which have no direct significance at PIPE level, but which are cascaded downwards to member BRANCHes (or even Components) where they perform a particular function, for example: TEMPERATURE - only used by Branch for insulation, stressing and so on.

•

Information attributes that can only be reported on, for example: BUILT.
