Label Pipes

Any number of labels can be placed on pipes (including those drawn as process links). Each segment of a pipe may be labelled, and pipe labels can be placed on either side of reducers and breaks as required. All or a part of a pipe label can be placed as required.
Changes made to pipe properties are automatically reflected by all the labels of the pipe. For example, changes to the pipe size are automatically cascaded along the pipe flow, updating all pipe labels upstream and downstream. Reducer and inline break properties and labels are also automatically updated.
Nozzle sizes may automatically be cascaded onto connected pipes, depending on the setting of the Cascade Nozzle to Pipe checkbox in the Nozzles - Settings Sub-Categoryof the AVEVA P&ID Project Administration program.
Owned branches are not affected by size changes of parent pipes.
Trim Pipes
A trim pipe is a pipe which forms part of a vessel's associated group of elements. The pipe may or may not be visibly connected to the vessel with which it is to be associated, and can be created in any pipe style. The vessel must already be labelled with a trim label before proceeding with the trim pipework. Trim pipes do not receive a full pipe label, simply a size, but inherit their other fields from the Trim label. A vessel can have multiple trim labels with trim pipes associated to each.
The Trim Label Prefix field in the Pipes - Labels Sub-Category of the AVEVA P&ID Project Administration program is used to specify the text prefix to the trim identifier in a trim label. Whenever a trim label is created on a vessel, this word appears in front of the main label.
Refer to Label Pipes.
Pipe Groups
Pipes may be added to a pipe group created reporting purposes, Create Pipe Groups. If a pipe has been added to a group, details of the group are added to the properties of the pipe.
The pipe groups that may be created are specified in a DataSet which is defined using the User Defined Attributes - DataSet Sub- Category of the AVEVA P&ID Project Administration program.
