Required attributes for entries into database or catalogue

Values need to be entered for at least the following attributes:

Attribute

Description

BENENNUNG

Designation of part

NORMBEZEICHNUNG

Standard designation of the part.

An entry is mandatory, even if the part corresponds to no standard.

BELIEBIG_TEILBAR

Indicates whether a cutting to length of the elbow is permissible.

NENNWEITE

Nominal diameter, Connection “!“ and “2“

WINKEL

Angle

KRUEMMUNG

Bend radius

Additionally (only if the corresponding standard uses nominal diameters in inches):

NPS_INCH

Nominal diameter (inches) (e.g. 1 1/2‘', the '' consists of two '' characters), Connection “!“ and “2“

These parameters are to be considered for all connection types except for flange connections. For connecting sleeves they refer to the pipe to be inserted:

D_AUSSEN (

Outer diameter, Connection “!“ and “2“

WANDDICKE

Wall thickness, Connection “!“ and “2“

ANSCHLUSSART

Connection type, Connection “!“ and “2“
The connection types on both ends must be identical.

Possible values of the attribute ANSCHLUSSART (CONNECTION_TYPE):.

1000x	Butt-welded	Provide auxiliary part when fitting part If appropriately preset in the ANSCHLUSSART (CONNECTION_TYPE) attribute for a connection, the part will provide and connect an auxiliary part of the standard specified in the attribute for the connection when being fitted. For example, if the part has a flange connection and the corresponding counter-flange is required, the content of the ANSCHLUSSART (CONNECTION_TYPE) attribute could look as follows: 20002 1 5100010 EN 1092-1/11/A/PN 40 EN 1092-1/11/A/PN 40 is the standard designation with which the flange is to be entered into the database.
2000x	Flange connection
3100x	Screwed, nipple
3200x	Screwed, sleeve
4100x	Plugged, nipple
4200x	Plugged, sleeve
5100x	Socket-welded, nipple
5200x	Socket-welded, sleeve

The last character (x) provides information about the meaning of the supplement:

0 =No supplement

2 = The supplement consists of connection number, part type, ID, and standard of the part to be connected

The prefixed connection number indicates the connection with which the auxiliary part is to be attached to the current connection.

When working with the HELiOS database, please pay attention to the correct classification!
