Pipe Tables

Explains the concept of Pipe Tables in Pipe network calculations.

Determine in the Pipe tables which pipe systems are to be used for calculation. A pipe system contains components like straight pipe, bends, T-pieces and transitions. All components from manufacturer pipe systems have article numbers which also will be output in the parts list. Manufacturer pipe systems can also contain connector material for faucets and radiators which can be assigned and also be output in parts lists.

The selected material from the pipe tables can deviate from the material used in the drawing. This gives you the ability to compare calculation results of different pipe or duct systems without having to make changes in the drawing.

Pipe tables are one part of the basis for calculating and dimensioning the pipe or duct network. Pipe tables are employed when creating parts lists.

In the initial calculation, a neutral pipe system is used with the manufacturer set to Custom. If you want to use manufacturer pipe systems, select the desired manufacturer under Manufacturer. Under System you will find the available pipe systems of the selected manufacturer. You can select pipe material from all available manufacturers for each material combination in the Pipes and Insulation dialog.

Install an appropriate data set to use manufacturer systems. Manufacturer data sets can be downloaded via the LINEAR Installation Center. Which dimensions are available depends on the selected system.
