Mouse Icon Toolbar: EQP Nozzle ICON

Specifies parameters for the nozzle.

This component cannot be created by itself. It must be attached to one of the following components:

Nozzles are recognized by the Isogen module of CADWorx Plant Professional when the piping connected to the nozzle is sent to Isogen.

Description

Specifies an alphanumeric description for the component. This description is visible even when the component is collapsed in the grid.

Nozzle type

Specifies the nozzle type. The available types are:

  • Standard

Specifies an ANSI nozzle. Displays the Nozzle details dialog box.

  • FVC

Specifies a Forge Vessel Connection (FVC) type nozzle. Displays the FVC Nozzle Details dialog box.

Distance

Specifies the distance from the bottom of the component to which this component is attached. Click Ellipsis ICON to display the Nozzle details dialog box.

Standard Nozzle Details

Displays the standard nozzle details where you can change the size, the rating, and other features of the nozzle as well as add applicable gaskets and applicable bolts to the nozzle. These applicable gaskets and applicable bolts allow for CADWorx Plant to insert only gaskets and bolt that are assigned to the nozzle in the equipment. This box is only available if the Nozzle type box is set to Standard. Click Ellipsis ICON to display the Nozzle Details dialog box.

FVC Nozzle Details

Displays the FVC nozzle details where you can change the size, the rating, and other features of the nozzle as well as add applicable gaskets and applicable bolts to the nozzle.

Nozzle Placement Dialog Box

Specifies advanced options for nozzle placement. A figure on the dialog box displays the values. This figure changes based on the type of component to which the nozzle is attached.

(A) Distance

Specifies the distance from the bottom of the component to which this component is attached. When the Nozzle direction box (enabled only for a nozzle on a cone) is set to Apex, the Distance box becomes the radial distance of the nozzle from the centerline of the cone.

Specifies the offset distance from the center of the parent component.

(D) Center to face distance

Specifies the component face distance to the center of the parent component.

(E) Layout angle

Specifies the angle between the component centerline and the X-axis.

Nozzle direction

Specifies the component direction.

Nozzle Details Dialog Box

Specifies standard nozzle parameters.

The lists for Diameter, Flange rating, Flange type, and Schedule are populated based on the entries of the NozzleDropDown.TBL file located in the [Product Folder]\Equipment\System folder.

Nozzle basis

Specifies whether you are using nominal or actual parameters. When you select Nominal, Equipment provides a look-up system for flange dimensions and schedule information.

Diameter

Specifies the diameter of the component.

Wall thickness

Specifies the component thickness.

Nozzle extension

Indicates whether a nozzle extension (elbow) is included. Click Ellipsis ICON to display the Nozzle extension dialog box.

Nozzle material

Displays the Select Item dialog box, which lets you select the material from the list. For more information, see Select Item Dialog Box. The Select Item dialog box uses the file specified by the MaterialFile configuration file variable. For more information, see MaterialFile.

Flange type

Specifies the type of nozzle flange. If you set this value to N/A, then you can manually specify the Flange thickness and Flange OD values. For Flange type values other than N/A, the software uses the dimensions from the FlangeImperial.DAT or FlangeMetric.DAT file. These files are located in the [Product Folder]\Electrical\System folder.

Flange rating

Specifies the nozzle flange rating.

Flange thickness

Specifies the component thickness.

Flange OD

Specifies the component outer diameter.

Flange material

Displays the Select Item dialog box, which lets you select the material from the list. For more information, see Select Item Dialog Box. The Select Item dialog box uses the file specified by the MaterialFile configuration file variable. For more information, see MaterialFile.

Thread/Engagement length

Specifies the nozzle end point location. This end point provides a snap location for any component attached to the nozzle.

Nozzle reinforcing pad

Indicates whether a reinforcing pad exists. Click Ellipsis ICON to display the Nozzle Pad dialog box.

Nozzle Insulation

Indicates whether insulation exists. Click Ellipsis ICON to display the Insulation dialog box.

Applicable Gaskets

Specifies the code to insert a gasket on the nozzle when you add a component containing Applicable Gaskets or Applicable Bolts in CADWorx Plant. The code that you type in the Applicable Gaskets box must match a code assigned to a gasket in the CADWorx Specification Editor. For more information, see Assign gaskets and bolts to equipment nozzles. You can also find information in the New and Edit Component Pane, and Selection Codes topics in the CADWorx Spec Editor User's Guide.

Applicable Bolts

Specifies the code to insert a bolt on the nozzle when you add a component containing Applicable Gaskets or Applicable Bolts in CADWorx Plant. The code that you type in the Applicable Bolts box must match a code assigned to a gasket in the CADWorx Specification Editor. For more information, see Assign gaskets and bolts to equipment nozzles. You can also find information in the New and Edit Component Pane, and Selection Codes topics in the CADWorx Spec Editor User's Guide.
