Hanger Length Table
- Last UpdatedFeb 11, 2025
- 2 minute read
The Hanger Length Table is used by the application to determine the minimum and maximum Head to Tail lengths for a given configuration. This is checked every time a hanger is created, but it is most important for template-type configurations which use the minimum length to position the supporting members. The values derived from this table override the values set in the configuration CATE :MAXLEN and :MINLEN attributes.
The Hanger Length Table should be in a SPEC with PURP set to HMML. An example named /CADC/HS/SAMPLE/SPEC/HANGLEN is supplied with the product.
The following hierarchy is mandatory for the Hanger Length Table:

Material codes are defined in the application defaults from the Settings>Admin>Materials menu option. |

This can be set to 0 or 1: 1 - Lengths are calculated from outside of pipe. This is the default mode if a configuration is not defined in the Hanger Length Table. 0 ‑ Lengths are calculated from the C/L of the pipe. In this mode, the application selects the PCLA to calculate the minimum length when creating support templates |

Code corresponds to the Hanger Build Macro suffix and the Generic Type (GTYP) of the configuration Category (CATE). |
