Part Selection: AutoReducer, Part Exchange

Plant Engineering > Settings > Plant Engineering Settings > Part Selection: AutoReducer

If a part is exchanged where the new part is no reducer, the adequate reducers can be added automatically if required and if the appropriate settings have been made. It is a condition that:

• the Ignore nominal pipeline diameter option is active,
• the AutoReducer option is active and
• a nominal diameter is given for the pipeline, where the part is inserted or for the guideline c-edge, where the part is placed.

The AutoFlange option needs to be active in case the new part has flange connections.

 

Example:

A valve DN 100 is to be replaced by a DN50 valve for a pipeline with a specification of DN 100. The valve has flange connections. The required flanges and reducers are to be added automatically.

• Part type: Valve
• Type of insertion: In flow direction
• Ignore nominal diameter
• AutoFlange
• AutoReducer
