temperatures (Design, Alternate Design, Operating, and Alternate Operating) aremodified on the pipe run. Validation also occurs each time the Option Code or NominalDiameter of the component is modified. If the modification occurs on a property of apiping component, then the lookup is restricted to that particular component, but if themodification occurs on a property of a pipe run, then the lookup encompasses everypiping component on that run.The minimum requirements to cause a lookup are that the piping component must be in apipe run, that the PMC of the pipe run must be populated and comply with service limits,and that the nominal diameter of the piping component must be specified. If the PMC isassigned but does not comply with the service limits, then the Commodity Codeproperty displays an error message.The PipeSpec utility uses process case temperatures of the run during the commoditycode lookup only if the code for that component has a maximum temperature limit valuein the 3D database. For example, in PDS 3D, a value of -9999 for maximum temperaturein pdtable 202 indicates a null value, and the process case temperatures on the pipe runare ignored for the lookup. If a maximum temperature exists for that component, then thelookup insures this value is larger than all of the process case temperatures assigned tothe pipe run in which the piping component resides. The software performs the look-up on fabrication category for PDS 3D PipeSpeconly; fabrication category is not supported for SmartPlant 3D. The units for the PDS 3D maximum temperature are those specified in OptionsManager.If any temperature values for the pipe run are unspecified, then a value of zero Deg-K isassumed for each of the unspecified temperatures. If multiple records are obtained in thelookup, then the utility returns a commodity code only if all of the records have the samecode value. If not, an error is recorded in the error-log file with the appropriate message.The Fabrication Category property of inline piping components is a select-listedproperty in SmartPlant P&ID. A relationship between the fabrication category and thecommodity name can be defined in the PDS 3D database. The Commodity Name is aunique name for every symbol. In PDS 3D, this unique name is the AABBCC Codeproperty. SmartPlant symbols are assigned the same AABBCC Code properties inCatalog Manager.8

Similarly, the Option Code property is a select list of text values inSmartPlant P&ID, while it is a set of code numbers or indices in PDS 3D. Short Valuefor the Option Code select list contains the PDS 3D indices corresponding to theappropriate Option Code text in SmartPlant P&ID. The PipeSpec utility uses the entriesin the Short Value box of the Option Code list to obtain the Option Code used in thePDS 3D database tables.Log Files Error messages are placed in the PipeSpecError.log file in the directory assigned tothe TEMP environment variable. Error messages help you identify the cause offailure when the utility does not complete the tasks as expected. For example, ifminimum requirements are not met for the lookup, the missing properties are listedin the log file. The ServiceLimits.log file contains any errors encountered during the Service LimitValidation process, which runs as part of the PipeSpec Utility.Piping Specifications Dialog BoxOpens when you click the Calc buttonfor the Piping Materials Class property(PMC) for a pipe run in the Properties window, and allows you to choose a PMC from apiping specification. This functionality is not available unless the proper settings aredefined in Options Manager and the applicable Program IDs are assigned in DataDictionary Manager. For more information about Piping Specification configuration, youcan refer to the SmartPlant P&ID Installation Guide by clicking Help PrintableGuides.Piping Materials Class — Lists the PMCs in your piping specification. Choose one, anddepending on the settings in Options Manager, property validation for piping segmentsand inline components is run. This can include checking service limits.Assign a Piping Materials Class to a Pipe Run Using PipeSpecThe PipeSpec utility is not available unless the appropriate settings andprogram IDs are assigned in Options Manager and Data Dictionary Manager,respectively. For more information, see those Help files.1. Select the pipe run.2. Select the Piping Materials Class property for the pipe run in the Propertieswindow.3. Click the Calc button .4. On the Piping Specifications (see "Piping Specifications Dialog Box") dialog box,choose the appropriate PMC from the list and click OK.9

Based on the chosen PMC and other assigned properties, such as NominalDiameter, Maximum Design Pressure, Maximum Design Temperature, and soforth, the PipeSpec utility copies properties and checks limits in the entire run,including inline components. If you subsequently assign nominal diameters to inline valves or othercomponents, SmartPlant P&ID assigns commodity codes and fabricationcategories to them that correspond to the PMC of the pipe run and thespecifications in your 3D databases (fabrication category is not supported forSmartPlant 3D). If you choose a diameter, for instance, that does not exist for theassigned PMC, then the commodity code property becomes Not In Spec. If you choose temperature- pressure limits for process cases that do not agree withthe assigned PMC, then the error Service Limits Error is added to the PMC forthe run. Given the appropriate settings in Options Manager and Data Dictionary Manager,you can manually assign commodity codes to inline components, and the PipeSpecutility looks up accepted diameters and validates the assignment.

For more information, see the Help files for those managers.1. Select an inline component that belongs to a pipe run whose piping material class hasbeen defined. For more information on assigning a PMC, see Assign a PipingMaterials Class to a Pipe Run Using PipeSpec.2. In the Properties window, define the Nominal Piping Diameter property for thecomponent.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 canopen the error log,PipeSpecError.log, if properties have not been assigned as expected.For more information about the error log, click Related Topics. If continuous validation is turned on for the PipeSpec utility, then a pipe run withtemperature-pressure limits that do not agree with its PMC produces the error Errorin PMC in the commodity code for an inline component. For information about thesettings required for continuous service limits validation, see Options Manager Help. 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.10

Adding or changing the option code can change the commodity code, if therelationship is defined in your PDS 3D database. If continuous validation is not activated but other appropriate settings and programIDs are assigned, you can still click the Calc buttonfor the Commodity Codeproperty and choose a code. However this does not verify that the component agreeswith a piping specification.11

SmartPlant P&ID Utilities GuidePiping Specification UtilityThe Piping Specification Utility (PipeSpec) works with Intergraph PDS 3D or SmartPlant3D to validate the piping materials class with the temperatures, pressures, and diametersassigned to the pipe run and to search commodity codes and fabrication categories forpiping components. The database tables and library files in the 3D product providesource information for the validation and search. The service limits validation andautomatic commodity code look- up can be disabled simultaneously using a switch inOptions Manager. For more information about modifying the PipeSpec settings, see theOptions Manager Help.In Data Dictionary Manager, the ValidateNomDiam.ForeignCalc program ID, which isassigned to the Nominal Diameter property, starts the Piping Specification Utility andtriggers the commodity code and fabrication category look-ups when a nominal diameteris changed. For more information about assigning program IDs, see the Data DictionaryHelp.PDS 3D Files Used for PipeSpec pd schema — pdtable 102 table ra schema - pdtable 201 and pdtable 202 tables library files — us pjstb.l, us pjstb.l.r, and us pjstb.l.t (The library file locations arelisted in pdtable 102.) .dll files — PipeSpec.dll, pdpjs.dll, pdpjsx.dll, and ValidateServiceLimits.dllThe Piping Specification utility allows separate logon for the ra and pd schemas in thePDS 3D database. To use the Piping Specification Utility with SmartPlant 3D, you must install theSmartPlant 3D Piping Specification Remote Access Client, which is available on theSmartPlant P&ID product CD under Prerequisite Software. The software performs the look-up on fabrication category for PDS 3D PipeSpeconly; fabrication category is not supported for SmartPlant 3D. All of the displayed text strings are maintained as Visual Basic resources in thePipeSpec.dll. These strings can be translated or modified as required using aresource file editor. When performing piping materials class validations, commodity code lookup, orvalidation of nominal diameter for SmartPlant 3D, the Piping Specification Utilityassigns the revision number from the SmartPlant 3D piping material class to thePiping Material Class Revision property. Error messages are placed in the PipeSpecError.log file in the directory assigned tothe TEMP environment variable.
