1. Piping Task Overview

To access the Piping toolbar, switch to Piping Task. From the pull-down menu select
Task > Piping.
Below is the Piping task toolbar and its description:

Select this command is used to select objects in the model. This command works
in conjunction with the Locate Filter discussed later in this document.
Route Pipe this command is used to place pipe runs in the model.
Insert Split - this command is used to place a welded split or a takedown joint in
the selected pipe to create the needed spools lengths.
Insert Component - this command is used to place valves, tees and other inline
components (i.e. Instruments and specialty items) in the selected pipe.
Insert Tap - this command is used to place a tap in the selected component.
Generate Spools - this command is used to generate spools for the piping in the
model.
Create Penetration Spools - this command is used to generate penetration spools
for pipes that have penetration plates placed in the model.
Sequence Objects - this command is used to rename the components of a pipeline
or spool so that they are in a sequential order.
Group Pipe Parts - this command automatically creates, names, and assigns
piping objects to a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) item. The WBS items can
then be used to drive other operations in the software, such as Isometric
drawings that are created from WBS items. User must claim all the objects to a
WBS project before you can run this command on the objects.
SmartPlant 3D
2. Locate Filter and Definitions

When in the Piping task environment, clicking on Select button will activate the
Locate Filter pull-down menu. Choosing one of these filters, user can change the type
of objects they can select in the model.
Pipelines: Pipelines contain pipe runs in the model and are created in the Systems
and Specifications task. When you create a pipeline, you are required to define a fluid
requirement and a fluid type as well as a line sequence number
Piping Runs: A pipe run is a connected series of pipe features that normally have the
same nominal piping diameter (NPD), slope, and flow direction, and are normally
governed by the same pipe specification. All pipe features belong to a pipe run. One
or more pipe runs make up a pipeline.
Piping Features: Piping features are logical collections of parts driven by the pipe
specification. There are several basic features: straight, turn, branch, end, run change,
split, and along leg component.
Piping Parts: Parts are the physical components that compose a feature and are
generally selected by the software. For example, the flanges, gaskets, and the gate
valve itself are examples of the parts composing the gate valve feature.
Piping Ports: Pipe Ports are the connection points on the pipe parts.
Taps: Taps are connection ports that are inserted by a user on a component or pipe.
Taps are added for placing pipe stub for support, and for connection to other
components such as instruments.
Welds: The weld selection filter is used for selecting welds in welded joints in the
model. This is useful when user wishes to change weld properties.
Clamps: The Clamp selection filter is used for selecting clamps used for mechanical
joints in the model.
SmartPlant 3D
Connections: Selectable points that are generated at the point where two features are
connected to each other or to a pipe nozzle of equipment.
Spools / Penetration Spools: Spool selection filter is used to select spools from the
model or in the Assembly Tab of Workspace Explorer.
Equipment: The Equipment selection filter is used for selecting equipment in the
model.
Pipe Nozzle: The Pipe Nozzle selection filter is used for selecting equipment nozzles
in the model.
All: When you are working in a specific task, you can select objects in other
disciplines by changing the locate filter to All. For example, if you are working in the
Equipment task, you can set the filter to All, and then select and modify a structural
member.

Piping Labs
The following labs are not intended to be step-by-step manual. The objectives are
presented and it is up to you to determine how to combine various tools to achieve the
pipe runs and features that are requested. In first few labs, steps are given to aid you in
the basic means of routing. Subsequent Labs builds on the knowledge gained in previous
Lab. Example, Lab 3 builds on Lab 1 and 2, and so on.
The instructor will demonstrate each functionality used prior to each lab. However, at any
time, the instructor will be available to show how to pick working planes, constraint
angles of routing, set the properties for the pipe run, etc. Your goal here is NOT to get
through the lab as quickly as possible. Your goal is to experiment with the tools, see how
they can be used in combination to achieve the described pipe run, and think about how
these tools can be best utilized by you, the piping designer.
Before starting any of the piping labs, set your tooltips as follows:
Piping Runs - Tool tip SuncorPipeRun
Piping Parts - Tool tip Pipe Component
Pipe Nozzle - Tool tip Nozzle ID
General Hints are provided and you should try to work from them first - especially the
more advanced users. Newer users to the software are encouraged to try the general hint,
but when confronted with a problem they are unable to move past, refer to the More
detailed help section(s).
** Disclaimer: Piping configurations, equipments, fluid codes, and piping material

specification on the following labs are NOT intended to illustrate good piping design.
They are merely to demonstrate the functionality of SP3D and assist users in completing
the piping labs.
