Can you try the following?

In your original project, switch it back to ASHRAE mode, then exit the software.
Make a backup of your project, in case you decide to revert back to it.
Copy the project into a new folder and then open this using the software.
Switch the data mode to CIBSE, and then save and exit.
Go into the new folder and locate the files PIPEFITT.DAT and PIPES_PROJ.NDX. Delete these two files.
Go back into the new project. The pipe types list should now contain the CIBSE list of pipes.
Select the Steel BS 1387 Heavy as the default pipe type

this will allow you to fix pipes up to 700mm

Duncan, the project is in Qatar. We have selected the CIBSE option but still the same problem remains?

Thomas - Just to check - is it actually the Ashrae standard that you wish to use with this project?Most - if not all - applications in the UK would normally use the CIBSE standard/materials.

That pipe list looks incorrect. Can I check a couple of things please?

When you start up the software - on the screen where you select the user - what is the version number that is displayed? It will be either be quite bold and in the bottom left of the opening menu, or quite indistinct and displayed in the bottom right.

Also, from your Pipes menu (in the Netsys program) - do you see an option for "Data and calculation standard"? If so, what is this set to?

regards,

When fixing the pipe size is does not give an option to select a pipe size larger than 500mm, refer to attached screenshot.

The following ranges:

Steel BS 1387 Heavy
MDPE (80) for gas up to 3 bar
MDPE (80) for gas up to 12.5 bar
MDPE (80) for Water up to 8 bar
MDPE (80) for Water up to 12.5 bar

all provide pipe sizes above 500mm

Is it a particular type of pipework that you are looking for? And what is the maximum size of pipe?
