In Smart P&ID, you can assign heat tracing to pipe runs and to certain other plant items. The following types of heat tracing can be assigned:

  • Single heat trace

  • Double heat trace

  • Jacketed heat trace

The general workflow for making heat trace definitions is as follows:

  1. Define heat trace media in Data Dictionary Manager by adding entries to the Heat Trace Medium select list.

  2. Define the line style of each heat trace medium on the Options Manager Tracing tab.

  3. Define the type of heat tracing on the Options Manager Settings tab by doing one of the following:

    • For a single heat trace, ensure that the heat trace medium does not appear beside Heat Tracing Media - Double Heat Trace or Heat Tracing Media - Jacketed Pipe.

    • For a double heat trace, assign the heat trace medium to Heat Tracing Media - Double Heat Trace.

    • For a jacketed heat trace, assign the heat trace medium to Heat Tracing Media - Jacketed Pipe.

The implementation and positioning of heat trace or jacketing graphics depends on the heat tracing type and whether the heat tracing is applied to a pipe run or some other item type. The following table summarizes the behavior.

Type of Heat Tracing

Behavior when Applied to Pipe Run

Behavior when Applied to Other Item Types

Single

As defined by the selected default placement on the Options Manager Tracing tab.

Displays graphics from the Heat Trace layer of the symbol defined in Catalog Manager.

Double

Heat tracing is placed on both sides of the pipe run.

Displays graphics from the Heat Trace layer of the symbol defined in Catalog Manager (same appearance as for single heat trace).

Jacketed

Heat tracing is placed on both sides of the pipe run.

Displays graphics from the Jacket layer of the symbol defined in Catalog Manager.

  • If, in Catalog Manager, no graphics are defined on the Heat Trace layer of a symbol, no heat trace will be displayed for the symbol in the drawing if a single or double heat trace is assigned and the item type of the symbol is anything other than Pipe Run.

  • If, in Catalog Manager, no graphics are defined on the Jacket layer of a symbol, no heat trace will be displayed for the symbol in the drawing if a jacketed heat trace is assigned and the item type of the symbol is anything other than Pipe Run.

  • If, in Catalog Manager, the item type of the symbol is Pipe Run, any graphics defined on the Heat Trace or Jacket layers are ignored.

  • In the drawing, the heat tracing line style of the selected heat trace medium for all item types is determined by the definition made on the Options Manager Tracing tab.

  • If a heat tracing medium that has been designated as jacketed is assigned to a pipe run in Smart P&ID, additional jacketed properties are displayed in the Properties window under the Piping Jacket category for that pipe run. If the heat trace medium is removed from the pipe run or is changed to something other than a jacketed heat trace, the Piping Jacket category and the associated properties are no longer displayed, and any values assigned to those properties are removed. In Data Dictionary Manager, you can add more jacketed properties if more are needed.

  • In Insulation Manager, you can define a heat trace medium to automatically be assigned with a particular insulation spec for a pipe run or equipment. Only the defined heat trace medium can be used in combination with that insulation spec. You can also choose one of the following options:

Undefined

No heat trace can be used if that particular insulation spec is assigned.

Ignore

Any heat trace can be used with that specified insulation spec.
