Spool Breaks

A Spool Break is the change over point between SHOP and FIELD components. It occurs at the junction of two piping components (or implied TUBE) that fulfils one of the following cases:

1. The Shop Flag status of the two components is different. For example, True-to-False or False-to-True. In SPOOL the Shop Flag status of elements in the DESIGN database can be changed, use Modify > Shop/Field from the main menu bar.

2. If a component is the end of the piping network (for example, connected to an EQUIpment item) it is automatically the end of the Spool/Field and the Spool Drawing.

3. BOTH piping components have their spool break attributes set to true (CSFBREAK for a piping component and TSFBREAK for the leave tube). A condition which can be forced use Create > Spool Break from the main menu bar in SPOOL.

   Note:
   TSFBREAK is an attribute of the piping component not the leave tube. Although its effect is on the leave tube.
