A penetration ATTA element is created on the pipe to mark the location of the penetration. It is possible to put a pipe component at the penetration that represents a sleeve or penetration seal if the piping catalog is configured to include such components. Pipe penetration components are modelled as COUP elements in the pipe.
When a penetration component is required, select From Pipe Spec in the Specification drop-down, and select COUP from the Marker Type to display the CHOOSE COUP window.
The CHOOSE COUP window displays the couplings available from the piping specification. Select the required component and click OK.
The Hole Management - Definition window is displayed. If the piping component selected has been configured in the catalog so that it can be placed on either side of the penetrated plate an additional Flip Side option appears on the window.
Click Flip Side to change the piping component so that it is placed on the other side of the penetrated plate.
The symbol for this component is represented on an isometric drawing as:
