Disconnect Pipes from Nozzles and Equipment

Nozzles and pipes in the same pipe group may inherit sizes from each other. If this is not required for a particular pipe and nozzle, this procedure can be used to disconnect a pipe from a nozzle (or from equipment), so that they are no longer in the same pipe group.

To check whether a nozzle is part of a pipe group, hover the cursor over the nozzle on the drawing so that it becomes highlighted. If the pipe and its components also become highlighted, the nozzle is part of the pipe group.

Note: A facility is also available to add nozzles and equipment to a pipe group. Refer to Connect Pipes to Nozzles and Equipment.

For details of the use of this procedure in the context of drawing P&IDs, refer to Draw Pipes and Process Links and Label Nozzles.

Note: Not applicable to drain pipes.
