Creation of Penetration

Normally, a penetration ATTA element is created on the pipe to mark the location of a penetration. It is possible to put a pipe component, representing a sleeve or penetration seal, at the penetration if the piping catalogue is suitably configured. Pipe penetration components are modelled as COUP elements.

When a penetration component is required, select From Pipe Spec in the Specification pull down, and select Marker Type COUP.

The CHOOSE form is displayed showing the couplings available from the piping specification. Select the required component and click the OK button.

Note: In the sample MAS project, an example of a pipe penetration component can be found in category /MACB2OR.

The Hole Management – Definition form is displayed. If a suitably configured piping component is selected, it can be placed on either side of the penetrated plate – an additional Flip Side button appears on the form.

Click on the Flip Side button to place the piping component on the other side of the penetrated plate.

The symbol for this component is represented on an isometric drawing as:
