Pipe System Parameters

The Pipe system parameters editor shows all the categories of pipe systems available in Renga.

After configuration of pipe system parameters, Renga will provide you with a list of most suitable pipes and pipe fittings for further automatic placement on a route.

Parameters

Parameters need to be specified for main lines and branch lines of selected pipe system category separately. The following parameters are available:

• Route height;
• Offset;
• Pipe material;
• Connection type.

Main line — a piece of a route, connecting two route points or any other equipment with each other.

Branch line — a piece of a route, connecting a route point or any other equipment with another route.

Pipe Styles

The tab shows a list of available pipe styles. The Material and Connection type parameters match to the values specified on the Parameters tab.

For example, if there is Connection type - Welded specified on the Parameters tab, the pipe styles with the welded connection type only will be shown.

Pipe Fitting Styles

The tab shows a list of available pipe fitting styles. The Connection type and Nominal diameter parameters of the pipe fittings match to the values of pipes selected on the Pipe styles tab.

For example, if there is a pipe style with the Connection type - Welded selected on the Pipe styles tab, the pipe fittings with the welded connection type only will be shown on the Pipe fitting styles tab.

The pipe fittings based on the selected pipe styles will be displayed.

Automatically are selected fitting styles based on categories with two or more non-collinear ports, such as Сross, Elbow and Tee.
