Errors in the Pipeline Network Report
In addition to information about the pipeline connections and the existing pipe objects, the Pipeline Network report also displays the following types of warning messages:
• Missing gaskets and flanges for fittings in the upstream or downstream direction
• Missing corner fittings in the case of a pipe vertex modeled as a corner fitting
• Mismatch in end types for a fitting in the upstream or downstream direction
• Violations in the design rule about the minimum clamp length at the start or end of a pipe piece
• Violations in the design rule about the minimum or maximum pipe segment length
• Mismatch in any of the pipeline label formats
• Extensions that are nor connected with the pipeline network
• Mismatch in sizes between free port and its connected pipeline
A piping model is shown in the next figure:
The 150A-MS-STEAM-OP2 pipeline is missing an upstream flange and gasket on the gate valve and elbow between the last and last but one pipe segments.
These errors are reported as shown:
