Pipe types

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.
