The PipeSpec utility is not available unless the appropriate settings and program IDs are assigned in Options Manager and Data Dictionary Manager respectively. See Configure Piping Specification Settings and Enter Required ProgIDs.

  1. Select the pipe run.

  2. Select the Piping Materials Class property for the pipe run in the Properties window.

  3. Select the Calc button PPM All Outputs Graphic.

  4. On the Piping Specifications dialog, choose the appropriate PMC from the list and select OK. Based on the chosen PMC and other assigned properties, such as Nominal Diameter, Maximum Design Pressure, Maximum Design Temperature, and so forth, 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 other components, Smart P&ID assigns commodity codes and fabrication categories to them that correspond to the PMC of the pipe run and the specifications in your databases (fabrication category is not supported for Smart 3D or Smart Reference Data). If you choose a diameter, for instance, that does not exist for the assigned PMC, the commodity code property becomes Not In Spec.

  • If you choose temperature-pressure limits for process cases that do not agree with the assigned PMC, then the error Service Limits Error is added to the PMC for the run.

  • Given the appropriate settings in Options Manager and Data Dictionary Manager, you can manually assign commodity codes to inline components, and the PipeSpec utility looks up accepted diameters and validates the assignment.
