Validate a pipeline

Validate all pipelines in a project to use the pipelines in the s22040 Piping MTO screen.

The Validate Pipeline functionality ensures that the specification values used to define a pipeline are valid when compared to the specifications created in the s81210 Specifications screen.

You can check the following conditions when you validate a pipeline:

• Ensure the main size of a pipe is a valid size and the main size exists in the s81210 Specifications screen.

• Ensure the fluid code related to the pipeline is linked to a specification in the s81210 Specification screen.

• Ensure the corrosion allowance value related to a pipeline matches the specification defined in the s81210 Specifications screen or fits within a fluid code defined in the s22004 Fluid Codes screen.

• Ensure the design temperature and pressure values of the pipe match the design temperature and pressure values specified for the fluid code related to a pipeline.

• Ensure the operating temperature and pressure values of the pipe match the operating temperature and pressure values specified for the fluid code related to a pipeline.

Appropriate warning messages are displayed when the conditions listed are not met.
