Inserting Relief Valves

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

This chapter describes the assigning of pipe spec data to Relief Valve.

We start with a main line and a branch both with the same size.

Use Cases 0245

Now we insert a Safety Valve This example shows the use of an Angle Valve, but it would also work with a Straight Valve.

Use Cases 0246

You enter the Tag.

Use Cases 0247

Now we probably get this dialog, because the valve is typically defined as a segment breaker and typically has different sizes on both AttachmentPoints/Ports.

Use Cases 0248

We add a line annotation to the discharge side of the valve so we can see which line segment has what size.

Use Cases 0249

We change the size of the line segment which goes into the safety valve.

Use Cases 0250

In this example there was just one suitable part in the pipe spec. Since it is a flanges valve, we get flanges on both sides.

In the tree we see, that the valve is appearing under the discharge side of the two line segments. This will become important later when transitioning to 3D (see Inserting P&ID Relief Valves (3D)).
