Plant 3D Piping Specifications
The foundation of any piping project is the pipe specifications, and Spectrum Solutions can help no matter where you are in the design process. At Spectrum, we have built countless number of specifications across many industries spanning petrochemical, oil/gas, pharmaceutical, mining, distilleries, and many others. Through the years we have enhanced our methods and procedures to provide what we feel is the best specification and catalog data set in the AutoCAD Plant 3D ecosystem. Spectrum has many Plant 3D piping catalogs for many different standards such as ASME, ASTM, API, MSS, and many others. From robust catalogs to well defined naming conventions Spectrum’s goal is to provide Specifications and catalogs with easy revision updates and accuracy by leveraging as much as Plant 3D has to offer.
Industry-Leading Experience
Spectrum has experience writing piping specs for AutoCAD Plant 3D from the begin of the creation of the software. We take pride in providing specs that produce great-looking isometrics while eliminating the need to “pencil whip” or manually edit drawings or component data. Our goal is to become your trusted shop for pipe specs. Whether you need your company’s specs loaded into plant design software or you have a project with no defined pipe specs, we are ready to help your team make your project a success.
Specs for Your CAD Environment
Every plant design solution has its own quirks with how it handles pipe specs. We build over 100 pipe specs annually and have gained a deep understanding of the pitfalls within the AutoCAD Plant 3DÂ environments. We can avoid these issues while delivering your specs with fast turnaround that will not hold up project progress.
Not all pipe specs are created equal, some components can be more difficult to manage in the software. Our experience includes, but is not limited to:
- Victaulic Systems
- Mixed Bolting for Butterfly and Knife Gate valves
- Lined Pipe Systems
- Tri-Clamp Systems
- Mixed Metric Environment (Imperial NPS with metric dimensioning)
- DN sizes
- HDPE
- Malleable Iron
- Galvanized
Spec Development and Deliverables
All specs created by Spectrum Solutions come complete with Catalog data and files necessary to be successful on your project. Spectrum provides the completed files in the most current version format for the design software chosen. Â In the event modifications need to be made for scope changes, all specs provided by Spectrum are 100% capable of modification by you. However, if you choose to, Spectrum can assist with any modifications needed for your project simply and efficiently.
Engineering Pipe Specifications
Along with creating the electronic pipe specifications from a current paper specification, Spectrum can engineer piping specifications for your project. Spectrum Solutions’ engineering group has certified piping engineers on staff to help assist you with creating your piping specifications based on your project requirements. Spectrum can provide you with a certified engineered piping specification that meets all codes and standards for your needs.
Update and Review of Piping Specifications
Many of our clients have specifications that need updating to current standards and codes. Spectrum works with our clients to review piping specifications to confirm proper standards, materials, and codes are up to date with the most current engineering requirements. Spectrum can also convert specifications to new document formats for a clean and concise deliverable. All specifications are reviewed by a certified piping engineer to ensure proper engineering requirements are met.
