Testing new duct and pipe types

00:03

Follow the same procedure as before and create a new

00:06

pipe type using the standard pipe type to duplicate from

00:11

rename the pipe type to low temperature hot water.

00:18

Right mouse, select the new pipe type and choose type properties

00:22

and then edit the routing preferences,

00:26

water the pipe segment to carbon steel schedule 40.

00:31

When altering the minimum and maximum pipe sizes note the available size

00:35

range is taken from the segments and sizes section of the mechanical settings

00:41

or to the minimum size to half an inch

00:43

and the maximum size to eight inches.

00:48

The next step is to set the appropriate fittings.

00:51

Currently,

00:52

all fittings are set to generic across the available size range for this pipe type.

00:57

So let's go ahead and load a range of threaded fittings,

01:00

select load family

01:04

then from the folder structure, open pipe

01:08

fittings

01:10

malleable

01:12

class 1 50.

01:14

Then threaded

01:17

from the list of fittings, select the cap

01:21

coupling,

01:23

reducing coupling,

01:25

cross

01:27

elbow

01:28

and t

01:29

then select open

01:35

within routing preferences.

01:36

Set the appropriate malleable line fitting for each fitting type,

01:49

then set the minimum size to half an inch

02:05

and the maximum size to three inches

02:16

for the end cap set the maximum size to eight inches

02:23

for pipe sizes above three inches. We'll use a flang

02:26

connection, select load family again

02:29

and then from the folder structure, select pipe

02:33

fittings

02:34

gray

02:35

iron flanges

02:36

class 125.

02:39

Then select the threaded flange

02:42

and choose open

02:46

select load family once more.

02:48

Then from the folder structure, select pipe

02:52

fittings

02:54

gray iron

02:56

class 125

02:58

fleed.

03:01

Then select cross

03:03

elbow

03:05

reducer

03:06

and T

03:08

and then select open,

03:13

select the row for the current elbow fitting

03:16

and add another row using the green plus button.

03:22

Continue to add rows for elbow

03:25

junction,

03:26

cross

03:27

and transition

03:35

for each of the new rows. Select the appropriate gray iron fitting

03:40

including the flange option.

03:51

Finally, we'll set the minimum size for the new range of fittings to 3.5 inches

04:06

from the maximum size to eight inches.

04:18

Yeah,

04:24

have a final check through and then select ok to close all dialog boxes

04:30

with the new standard created

04:32

set the detail level of your view to fine

04:37

select the pipe command from the systems tab of the ribbon,

04:41

choose the new pipe type from the type selector.

04:46

Then set the system type to hydraulic supply.

04:51

Draw one section of pipe at or below three inches in diameter.

05:03

Then another

05:04

about 3.5 inches or above

05:12

and note the fittings applied to each.

05:17

Finally from the modify tab of the ribbon, select split element,

05:24

then create a break in each run of pipe to see the appropriate coupling, applied,

05:35

duplicating existing duct and pipe types and applying

05:39

the relevant fittings and size ranges in routing preferences

05:43

provides an effective way to create new

05:45

standards within your project or project template.

05:49

Promoting consistency and saving time when creating mechanical systems.
