Classes Managed In Pipespec Designer - Siemens COMOS Operating Manual

Introduction

2.3 Classes managed in PipeSpec Designer

● The standards in COMOS have the status of a standard "...to EN DIN <xyz>".
This means that although Siemens AG strives to supply correct data, it accepts no
responsibility for data accuracy.
● Customers can set up their own geometry standards.
● The software maintenance contract grants the customer the right to receive updates to
geometry standards, subject to the following conditions:
– Existing standards are not overwritten
– New geometry standards are set up in separate nodes if required.
– The standards are maintained in the context of project management with the assistance
– PAS 1057 is not a geometry standard.
– As of now, the corresponding node is declared as "Draft with example structures", with
– If PAS pipe specs are set up in the future, in accordance with norm 2009 without valves
● COMOS Viper does not supply production-ready pipe specs.
2.3 Classes managed in PipeSpec Designer
Pipe specs
A pipe spec is a specified compilation of all pipe parts that belong to a pipe.
In COMOS, the term pipe spec can also describe part classes, such as armature classes,
gasket classes, or support classes. The pipe parts assigned to a nominal pressure (PN) and
pipe material are clearly predefined in a corresponding design (dimensions and material) within
a pipe spec.
A pipe spec defined in COMOS covers most of the constructive requirements for pipe
engineering.
For the most part, they freely define the quantity and content. For example, you can create a
part class each for armatures, gaskets, fittings, and flanges, or you can combine all of these
components in one conventional pipe spec.
Fluid spec
In P&ID engineering, if the medium (fluid) is the determining variable for the pipe spec, you
can combine a variety of classes into a single fluid spec.
Example: A fluid spec consisting of a pipe spec, an armature class, and a gasket class.
PDMS pipe specs
PDMS pipe specs imported with the "COMOS PDMS integration" solution are also managed
in the PipeSpec Designer.
