Pipe Production Checks

All the tasks that a user would carry out that are associated with the production checks of a pipe piece and piper spool are initiated from a central Pipe Production Checks window which acts as a task hub.

Depending on selections made in the Pipe Production Checks window, you will be presented with further windows prompting for user input. After inputting information in these windows you will always be returned to the Pipe Production Checks window allowing the workflow to continue.

To check pipe spools for production readiness, you need to be in the Design module and running the Pipework application and perform a pipe production check. Select Utilities > Production Checks from the main menu bar to display the Pipe Production Checks window:

A pipe production check can only be performed on pipe for which you have already created a spool and cannot be performed at the current position in the database hierarchy. You will receive a message summarizing the problem, for the example in the following window a message explains that the element you are attempting to perform a production check on must be a pipe element or a branch or component element that resides below a pipe element:

Before the Pipe Production Checks can be carried out, the parameters governing the check must be setup, for further information, refer to Setup Production Checks.
