About Spec Generator

All PROCAD piping applications are equipped with Spec Generator. This utility allows you to create and edit specifications for your schematics and designs.

Using the Spec Generator you can create three types of specification information files. These are:

§         Spec Parameters File

§         Branch Fittings Chart

§         Material Files

Use the Spec Parameters File to define the general parameters of the spec (Valve types, ANSI rating, changeover size between flanged and socked weld component etc.). You create one (and only one) Spec Parameters File for each spec type.

Use the Branch Fittings Chart to define the type of branch fittings to use between different pipe sizes. You create one (and only one) Branch Fittings Chart for each spec type.

Ø      Note:  If required, you can override the selected branch fitting during the drafting setting.

Use the Material Files to define the components available for use in your designs. Material files include the size, description/type, material, weight/schedule, rating, manufacturer, destination, valve tag, and catalog number for each component you want to use in your design.

Ø      Note:  If required, you can add components to your drawing that are not described in the Material Files.

Ø      Note: The program includes a set of generic specs (A through F) for ANSI ratings 150# to 2500#. These specs do not include valve materials files. Carefully review the contents of any generic spec before you use it.
