Cats & Specs & Pipe Schedule

HOW DO YOU ADD DIIFERENT SCHEDULES TO THE SAME PIPING COMPONENT IN A SPECIFICATION, SO THAT WHEN YOU DESIGN, YOU CAN "SPECIFY" EACH PIPE VIA, FOR EXAMPLE, SCHEDULE NUMBER ACCORDING TO DESIGN DICTATES?

ALTHOUGH, I HAVE AN IDEA BUT I JUST WANT SOME REINFORCEMENT. DO YOU HAVE TO CREATE MULTIPLE DETAIL-TEXTS? AND IF SO, HOW TO "TELL" EACH PIPE AND ITS COMPONENTS, THE RIGHT D-TEXT TO "PICK FROM" TO REFLECT THE APPROPRIATE SCHEDULE NUMBERS, SAY, IN ISOMETRICS AND MTO(s)

THANK YOU ALL.

how do you add diiferent schedules to the same piping component in a specification, so that when you design, you can "specify" each pipe via, for example, schedule number according to design dictates?

although, i have an idea but i just want some reinforcement. do you have to create multiple detail-texts? and if so, how to "tell" each pipe and its components, the right d-text to "pick from" to reflect the appropriate schedule numbers, say, in isometrics and mto(s)

thank you all.

NB: My apologies; it wasn't my intention to "shout" using UPPERCASE letters.
Working with PDMS has instituted my UPPERCASE preference.
Thank You again.

now change your posting to lower case please.  There is no need to shout here.  Cap lock is above the shift key.

I understand your point. But I think that will only work when working with piping components, when you can use stype to specify, say different schedules of the same component, of the same NPS.

But what I'm particular about is how is "respecify" the adjoining (implied) pipe between components to reflect different schedules, according to design dictates, for isometric or mtos.

Yes you need different detail texts
Control the choice by using different STYP in the spec

Much to digest....but I'll try.
Thank You.

yes piping component can be selected via a criteria since you can have different detail text.

piping tubes you can not do.  You will have to create an additional selection of tube and ask users to change spref.  

for example, there is a default choice of tube  
/*/10.0PIP - which is 10in pipe with the default schedule for example sch80
you can add another choice in say:
/*/10.0PIP_Sch40, this choice will have the detail matxt text set to be sch40.

User will route lines like before, and once completed, manually (or use a report macro) to set the lstu/hstu to /*/10.0PIP_Sch40.

Hope you get my idea.

Yeah!
From a pipers point of view. But the catch there is, pipes are manufactured (ASME B36.10M) across broader various thickness or schedules(5, 10,20, 40 to 160) whilst fittings (e.g buttweld) are manufactured across closer thickness designations of STD, XS, 160,STD.

This places a little dilemma on the designer, which is easily solved. When calculations give a pipe schedule of no corresponding component schedule, he, conservatively selects a piping component with a thickness (or schedule) thicker than the pipe.

So that informed my question, from the position of developing a specification, how to change tubes (or pipes) in the same spec to reflect different but included detail texts.

I'm studying De-ding reply, not an easy one I must confess but my gratitude all the same.

Regards.

I guess majority of piping components will have same Schedule as the Pipes.  There may be few or rare cases.. Please correct me if I am wrong  ;)

 So maintating seperate detail text is Best as per previous replies :)

You CAN use stype with TUBE

for HSTU
Command line

at pipe head enter CHOOSE HSTU
This will bring up a choice of TUBEs with the STYPs
Select the one you want as with component selection

For leave tube at a component

Sit on component and enter CHOOSE LSTU
