Equipment routines: Included are routines for drawing towers, reactors & vertical vessels; exchangers, kettles & horizontal vessels; pumps & compressors; separators/filters; and drums/tanks. Nozzles may be attached directly to equipment or inserted as tower cuts. Routines are also included for grated platforms, ladders, handrails, and AISC steel shapes used in supporting structures.

Pipe and Fittings: Buttweld, flanged, socketweld, and/or threaded endtypes for parametric pipe, reducers, flanges/flange pairs (std & orifice), gaskets, swages, elbows (long/short-radius, bends, & reducing), 45Ls, tees (straight/reducing), crosses, and returns, as well as olets, couplings, unions, plugs, caps and nipples (3”/close); also base-ells, trunions, dummy legs and other supports. Pipe racks may be designed with AISC steel libraries.

Valves: Parametric routines are included for gate, ball, globe, butterfly, check, needle, plug, and control valves—handwheels, with rotation, are optional where appropriate. Valves may be inserted as flanged, flanged valve assemblies, or as buttweld, and indeterminate valve lengths (esp. for control valves and butterflys) may be prompted for upon insertion.

Dimensional data for PVF are kept in parametric catalogs which may be modified or extended by the user. Whole new fitting classes may be introduced (e.g. PVC, fiberglass, filament-wound, AWWA, etc.) by PI Integrated as extensions according to project, customer, or industry requirements under the terms of an annual Software Support Agreement.

Extras: AutoPIPE/AutoATTACH modes and AutoELBOW/AutoRUN functions programatically insert PVF. Additional piping/structural components include insulation, shoes, anchors, base-ells, trunions, and dummy legs. Drawing notation and symbology includes flow arrows, section call-outs, revision clouds/triangles, tie-in symbols, and full dimensioning capabilities. Users may further extend this symbology using site-specific custom user blocks.
