As a minimum, enter a name (max. 25 chars recommended, must NOT include blanks), internal diameter (mm), roughness index (mm) and thermal conductivity (U value, W/m°C) for the pipe type.
If the type has to be accessible for dimensioning
pipes, you must select this. A maximum of 20 pipe types can be selected for
dimensioning. An internal diameter of 0 mm signals to the calculation module
that the pipe has to be dimensioned! Create a pipe type with a name ? which has
an internal diameter of 0.00, etc. This allows you to see more clearly which
pipes are to be dimensioned.
You can provide further information on the type which describes the type in more detail, e.g. material, make, etc. The price categories are utilised by the price report, the pipe's price category being specified with a value of 1 to 6 and the price being retrieved from the pipe type's corresponding value.
