BORES

Function:

Allows the user to specify the units for input of pipe nominal bores.

Description:

The default units for the input of dimensions (that is, the units which are assumed if the user enters a dimension as a value) are normally derived from the Catalogue. The user can change the default units independently for input of pipe bores and/or distances along pipelines or across components by using the related BORES and DISTANCES commands.

Note: The UNITS command is used to set output units.

The current default units can be overridden for any item of input data by giving the units explicitly.

Examples:

MM BORES

Input bores assumed to be in mm unless otherwise specified.

INCH BORES

Input bores assumed to be in inches unless otherwise specified.

FINCH BORES

Input bores assumed to be in feet and inches unless otherwise specified; for example, 1’3 represents 1ft 3in, 9 represents 9in.
