This help has been provided in order to give users ideas for modeling typical piping arrangements. The steps shown in each example should not be taken as the only method available to create models. In addition, the intent of the examples is to present ways to create adequate models of specific piping components for analytical purposes.

Additional modeling approaches, tips, and techniques for different types of piping components?

a. Bends

b. Flanges

c. Flexible / Expansion Joints 
      (Pressure Balanced, Expansion, Hinged, Gimbal, Single Bellows,
      Tied Bellows, Tied Universal, Ball and Socket, Slip Joints, etc..)

d. GrayLoc Connector

e. Nozzle

f. Pipe

g. Orifice type components

h. Reducers

i. Tee, Cross, or Branch fittings (i.e. weldolet, sockolet, Y-pipe, etc..)

j. Valves

k. Victaulic / Grinnell Grooved  Couplings

l. Model PN-EN 10253-2 Type B Pipe Fittings

m. Mule Ear Return or Plug Headers

n. Strainer / Filter

o. Flow Meter

p. Threaded, Socket, welded type connections

q. Offset Drip pipe
