Siemens COMOS User Manual

Introduction

2.1 Application range of the PipeSpec Designer
Objective
The technical requirements that are made to a pipe unit depend on the used fluids and the
process
conditions. In PipeSpec Designer, you define all classes that you need to plan a pipe
unit:
● Fluid specs (construction classes)
● Pipe specs
● Subclasses
● Classes imported from PDMS
®
by AVEVA
You can also define project classes.
By using the PipeSpec Manager component, you can use the classes throughout the entire
pipe engineering.
The pipe parts that are assigned to the classes come from the pipe part catalog supplied with
the database. They reference a geometry standard, and thus are already equipped with the
component geometry. To this end, geometry data for components was set up in the database,
complying with the geometry standards for DIN, EN, and ANSI/ASME. You can set up
geometry standards if required.
The finished pipe spec definitions are documented in pipe spec reports; pipe parts are
documented in pipe part reports.
Target group
The manual provides you as administrator with a guideline for creating and managing pipe
specs. You will also learn which required defaults you have to set.
2.2 Legal notice
The following provisions apply to the geometry standards:
● The customer is not purchasing original documents or rights to geometry standards to DIN/
EN/ISO or ANSI/ASME/ASTM and so forth.
● The standards in COMOS only contain geometry values taken from the original documents.
They might contain incorrect values.
● The customer is responsible for checking the data before using it in the context of
production.
