 example, a component of GTYPE VALV c th c mt STYPE GATE, GLOB, CHEC etc.

RADius
Defines the required radius of an ELBO or BEND, when DDRADI has been used in the component
pointset (PTSET). May be a single value or a range.
TEMperature
Defines the operating temperature.
PRessure
Defines the operating pressure.
RATing
Defines the pressure rating.
SHOP
Defines whether the component dnh cho shop fabrication (SPCOM answer TRUE or SHOP) or
on-site assembly (SPCOM answer FALSE or SITE).
In addition to the standard SELEC headings, bn c th s dng bt k t no (up to four letters), c hoc

13.1.3 P-Point Zero: A Special Case
Thng thng, khi khoan hoc loi kt ni ca mt p-point c s dng nh mt SELEC question, answer
cung cp s p dng cho mt c th p-point number. For example, PBORE1 s l components arrive bore,
PBORE2 s c ngh php trong ng dy ca mnh bore, and so on. Tuy nhin, theo mt s trng
hp iu ny khng cn p dng. Trong trng hp ny bn c th s dng Selectors PBORE0 and/or
PCONN0 i din cho mt trong hai hay tr li p-point of the component.
For example, assume that you wish to select a flange. Normally P1 would represent p-arrive and P2 would
represent p-leave, so that the Selector PBORE1 could be matched against the p-leave bore of the
preceding component to select a suitable flange. If, however, the flange is reversed (flipped), P2
becomes the p-arrive and so a Specification based on the Selector PBORE1 will not allocate a correct
match.
If the SELEC is defined as PBORE0, all p-points of the new component s l tested, theo th t s,
chng li p-leave of the preceding component. Nh vy, trong trng hp ca chng ti ln flange, nu

Specification table. Only the CATREF pointer is obligatory; the other pointers c th c b qua t tiu
khi Specification c to ra hoc h c th c li nh unset (=0) trong c nhn SPCOM lines.
CATREF - Catalogue Reference:
Points to one particular component in the Catalogue DB which meets all the SELEC requirements
specified for an individual SPCOM. A CATREF heading is obligatory for every SPEC table since it is the
essential link between the design specification and the choice of a component from the Catalogue. It is
important that the component pointed to by the CATREF already exists when the SPCOM is defined,
nu khng bn s nhn c error message Undefined Name and the CATREF in the Specification will
be shown as =0 (i.e. unset).
DETAIL - Detail Text:
Points to a DTEXT element in the Catalogue DB. This holds any general text which is used to
describe the corresponding component in schedules, on isometric drawings, etc. (see Catalogue
Database Structure).
MATXT - Material Text:
Points to an MTEXT element in the Catalogue DB. This holds the text which is used to describe the
materials of construction of the corresponding component in schedules, on isometric drawings, etc.
(see Component Parts and the ISODRAFT Reference Manual).
BLTREF - Bolt Reference:
Points to a BLTAB element in the Catalogue DB. This contains details of the bolts needed to
connect the corresponding component into a pipeline (see the ISODRAFT Reference Manual). This
heading is, of course, applicable only to components which require bolts (flanges etc.).
CMPREF - Component Reference:
Points to a CMPT element in the Properties DB (see Properties Constructor).

RATING - Pipeline Pressure Rating:
May be set to the maximum pressure at which the components covered by the Specification
are intended for service. ISODRAFT can then use this setting to determine those points in a
composite pipeline at which the pressure rating changes. The default setting is zero.
