IDS-ISO is a complete module for spec-driven creation of intelligent spool drawings and associated BOM/MTO reports. This intelligence resides in attributed data nodes for pipe, valves, and fittings; besides being reported as BOMs per drawing and as composite BOMs across multiple drawings, this data is used for draw-time checking against spec, rating & size, for automatic dimensioning, and for FlexSNAP insertions.

Piping and Fittings: Included are buttweld, flanged, socketweld, and/or threaded endtypes for pipe, reducers, flanges & flange pairs (standard & orifice), gaskets, swages, elbows (long- & short-radius, bends, and reducing), 45Ls, tees (straight & reducing), crosses, and returns according to ASME 16.5 & 16.47 sizes from 1/8” to 60” and ratings 150# to 2500# flanged, 600# to 2500# ring-type, & 3000# to 9000# threaded/socketweld; also API sizes 1-13/16” to 263/4” and ratings 2000# to 20,000#. A variety of olet branch connections are provided standard, as are couplings, unions, plugs, caps and nipples (3” & close).

Valves: Parametric routines are included for gate, ball, globe, butterfly, check, needle, plug, control valves, and PSV’s—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.

The AutoELBOW function automatically generates appropriate branch fittings along a selected routing line, and the AutoPIPE function automatically inserts intervening pipe segments between fittings and valves. Besides generating BOMs and pipe cut-length tables, an AutoBUBBLE routine is provided to position automatically-generated bubbles for all called-out components.

Extras: Additional piping/structural components include platforms, insulation, shoes, anchors, base-ells, trunions, dummy legs, columns, and through-wall transitions. Isometric equipment available includes horizontal & vertical vessels, exchangers, and kettles with nozzle insertion routines, as well as pumps and other auxiliary equipment. Drawing notation and symbology includes flow arrows, revision clouds, tie-in symbols, spec-breaks, spool marks and inspection tags. Full iso-dimensioning routines are available (appropriate to top, left and right orientations). Users may further extend this symbology using custom blocks.
