  • When working with piping specification reference data, try to start with an existing specification that resembles the one you need to create. For example, you can search for an existing specification that has similar materials, pressure ratings, and preparations, and fluid service codes. After you locate the specification, copy the existing specification into your project and make the appropriate modifications.

  • Many companies prefer to keep a master specification, which provides a centralized starting point for all project specifications. This master spec contains all the commodity codes, and each project that copies from the master spec as a starting point. We recommend that you create a separate model specifically for testing specs before introducing changes into a working project.
