SECTION 1

Materials Handling Reference Data

Overview
Each organization using Material Handling requires customized reference data such as catalog
items, symbols, and rules to meet their exact needs.
Before working with Material Handling reference data, you must be familiar with how the
software generally handles reference data. If you have not already done so, please review the
following important concepts and procedures described in the Reference Data Guide:
 Reference data types
 Using Excel workbooks to configure reference data
 Using the bulkload modes
 Creating 2D symbols using the 2D Symbols utility
 Creating a graphical preview
This reference data guide describes the example Materials Handling reference data delivered
with the software:
 2D symbol files are delivered for the symbols.
 Microsoft Excel workbooks are delivered for bulkloading specifications, cross-sections, and
symbols into the catalog.
 Symbol icon bitmap files are delivered for graphical previews that appear in the Catalog
task.
 XML files are delivered for drawing packages, view styles, templates, and labels.
Material Handling also uses reference data, such as rules, from other Smart 3D tasks. For more
information, see the related reference data guides.

Bulkload Files
Bulkload files are used to add reference data to the catalog. The reference data includes
codelist values, rule progIDs, symbol file locations, and default values for rule and symbol
parameters. The relationships between different types of reference data are also established.
Bulkload files are delivered in the [Product
Folder]\MaterialsHandling\CatalogData\Bulkload\DataFiles folder.
Each bulkload file is delivered with default values that can be customized. For more information

Flange Outside Diameter

Type the flange outside diameter of the bolted end.
Flange Thickness
Type the distance from the outermost face of the flange to the back surface of the flange on
which the nut rests. This distance includes any projections that the flange may have, such
as raised-face, only if the manufacturer's data includes any projections. The flange
thickness includes the thickness of the loose flange used, but does not include the wall
thickness of the pipe or stub end for lap-flanged ends. In terms of ASME B16.5 (1996), this
value is considered the minimum flange thickness.
Flange Thickness Tolerance
Type the plus tolerance for the flange thickness. For example, ANSI B16.5 (1996) specifies
the flange thickness tolerance as 1/8" for NPD 18" and smaller, and a tolerance of 3/16" for
NPD 20" and larger.
This value is required for computing bolt lengths, when you (the specification writer) prefer
to express the flange thickness tolerance explicitly and independently of the stud or machine
bolt extension.
Flange Face Projection
Type the value that represents any projections that the flange may have. An example is a
raised-face flange.
Raised Face Diameter
Type the raised-face diameter of the bolted end, if applicable, to raised-face flanged ends.
This value is required to compute the outside diameter of the gasket and the inside diameter
of the gasket.
Flange Groove Width
Type the groove width of the bolted end, if applicable, to groove-flanged ends. This value is
required to compute the outside diameter of the gasket.
Seating Depth
Type the distance from the outermost surface of the bolted end to the seating surface of the
gasket. This column has a value only for small groove flanged, large groove flanged, small
female flanged, large female flanged, small groove lap flanged, large groove lap flanged,
small female lap flanged, large female lap flanged, ring type joint flanged, and mechanical
joints. This value represents the groove depth for ring type joint flanged ends.
Bolt Circle Diameter
Type the diameter of the circle of bolt holes on the face of flange. This property applies only
to circular drilling templates.
Quantity of Bolts Required
Type the number of bolts required for the bolted end.
Bolt Diameter
Type the diameter of the bolts for the bolted end.

 Bulkload Files

Body Outside Diameter

Type the outside diameter of the body of the fitting at the bolted end.
You can still choose to define the body outside diameter with the piping
commodity part data (or piping specialty part data or instrument part data) for certain fittings.
This actual body outside diameter is required for rack piping to match the bottom pipe of the
adjacent straight runs, not only for aesthetic purposes, but also to ensure that if the body
portion of the component rests on steel, the correct centerline is maintained. Using
inaccurate data, in some cases, will cause false interferences to be reported, and in other
cases, leave diameter mismatches with adjacent piping.
Drilling Template Pattern
Type the drilling pattern code for the bolted end. This code represents the arrangement of
bolt holes at the bolted end. Valid codes are listed in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook on the
Drilling Template Pattern sheet in the Codelist Number column. For pictures of common
drilling patterns, see Bolt Hole Patterns (on page 13).
Bolt Pattern Length
Type the bolt pattern length for the bolted end.
Bolt Pattern Width
Type the bolt pattern width for the bolted end.
Bolt Pattern Offset
Type the bolt pattern offset for the bolted end.

Piping Generic Data Female Sheet

The Piping Generic Data Female sheet in the AllCommon.xls workbook defines generic data
for female piping ends.
Nominal Piping Diameter
Type the nominal piping diameter for the female end.
Nominal Diameter Units
Specify the units for the NPD column. For example, type mm or in.
Pressure Rating
Type the pressure rating code for the female end. Note that the pressure rating is used as
the basis of the female end generic data, if the schedule is undefined. Typically, a female
fitting will not be defined with both a pressure rating and a schedule value.
The Pressure Rating property defines the envelope of pressure to which the female end
may be subjected. Valid codes are listed in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook on the Pressure
Rating sheet in the Codelist Number column.
End Preparation
Type the end preparation code for the female end. Valid codes are listed in the
AllCodeLists.xls workbook on the End Preparation sheet in the Codelist Number
column.
End Standard
Type the end standard code for the female end. Valid codes are listed in the
AllCodeLists.xls workbook on the End Standard sheet in the Codelist Number column.
Schedule
Type the schedule (or thickness) for the female end. This value is required only for those
female ends where the female end generic data is determined on the basis of the schedule
and not the pressure rating.
The schedule is used as the basis of the female end generic data, if the pressure
rating is undefined. Typically, a female fitting is not defined with both a pressure rating and a
schedule value.
Socket Diameter
Type the socket, or thread, diameter of the female end.
Socket Depth
Type the socket depth for the female end.
This property also represents the "length through hub" dimension for the non-bolted end of
slip-on flanges. Otherwise, the existence of a value for socket depth and socket offset will
indicate a socket-welded end.
Socket Offset
Type the offset of the socket for the female end. The typical engineering practice is a 1/16"
offset.
Thread Depth
Type the depth of the exposed threads for the female end. The existence of a value for

Material Handling Reference Data Guide 17

 Bulkload Files

thread depth indicates a threaded end.

Hub Outside Diameter
Type the hub outside diameter of the female end.
This data is optional because it is generally not represented as a standard. You can provide
this data for those situations where a detailed representation of the female end is required.
Hub Thickness
Type the hub thickness of the female end.
This data is optional because it is generally not represented as a standard. You can provide
this data for those situations in which a detailed representation of the female end is required.
Body Outside Diameter
Type the outside diameter of the body of the fitting at the female end. If you do not define a
value here, the outside diameter must be available in the plain piping generic data for the
same value of the end standard property.
You can still choose to define the body outside diameter with the piping
commodity part data (or piping specialty part data or instrument part data) for certain fittings.
This actual body outside diameter is required for rack piping to match the bottom pipe of the
adjacent straight runs, not only for aesthetic purposes, but also to ensure that if the body
portion of the component rests on steel, the correct centerline is maintained. Using
inaccurate data, in some cases, will cause false interferences to be reported, and, in other
cases, leave diameter mismatches with adjacent piping.

Piping Generic Data Mechanical Sheet

The Piping Generic Data Mechanical sheet in the AllCommon.xls workbook defines generic
data for mechanical piping ends.
Nominal Piping Diameter
Type the nominal piping diameter for the mechanical end.
Nominal Diameter Units
Specify the units for the NPD column. For example, type mm or in.
Pressure Rating
Type the pressure rating code for the mechanical end.
Note that, typically, a mechanical end does not have a value for pressure rating. If so, the
mechanical end generic data can be defined without pressure rating. In other words, some
mechanical ends may require pressure rating, while other mechanical ends will not.
The Pressure Rating property defines the envelope of pressure to which the mechanical
end may be subjected. Valid codes are listed in the AllCodeLists.xls workbook on the
Pressure Rating sheet in the Codelist Number column.
End Preparation
Type the end preparation code for the mechanical end. Valid codes are listed in the
AllCodeLists.xls workbook on the End Preparation sheet in the Codelist Number
column.
