Note: How to define symbol keys is described in Chapter 10 of the ISODRAFT

User Guide.

3.1 Introduction

This appendix lists the symbol key (i.e. the SKEY text attribute) and the
plotted symbol used to identify each type of component on isometric
drawings. There is a section for each generic type. The sections are in
alphabetic order of generic type:
BEND (see ELBOw) See Section 3.6.
CAP See Section 3.2.
CLOSure See Section 3.3.
COUPling See Section 3.4.
CROSs See Section 3.5.
ELBOw See Section 3.6.
FBLInd (Blind Flange) See Section 3.7.
FILTer See Section 3.8.
FLANge See Section 3.9.
FTUBe (Fixed-length Tube) See Section 3.10.
INSTrument See Section 3.11.
LJSEnd (Lap Joint, Stub End) See Section 3.12.
OLET (see TEE) See Section 3.16.
PCOMponent (Pipe Component) See Section 3.13.
REDUcer See Section 3.14.
SHU See Section 3.15.
TEE See Section 3.16.
TRAP See Section 3.17.
UNIOn See Section 3.18.

Symbol Keys

The following information is given for each SKEY:

Component The actual component description
description
SKEY A four–letter identifier
Plotted symbol The symbol plotted on isometrics, plus
dimensions (in mm)
P–points The position and direction of the P–points
with respect to the plotted symbol. P–points
needed to specify components fully are shown
against the symbols. P–points which are
optional are not shown, but their effects are
explained in the notes when appropriate.
Notes The numbers in the right–hand column refer
to the notes at the end of each section.

3.1.1 P–points
When you define piping components in PARAGON, you must remember
the following rules so that ISODRAFT can produce isometrics correctly:
• P0 is automatically set and defines the origin of the component.
• For two–way components, the arrive and leave p–points must be
numbered P1 and P2 (not necessarily in that order). For two–way
valves, the spindle direction must be indicated by P3.
• For three–way components, the offline leg must be indicated by
P3. The spindle direction for three–way valves must be specified
by using a p–point greater than P3, which must have its bore unset.
• For four–way components, the two straight–through flows must
have p–points P1/P2 and P3/P4. The spindle direction for four–way
valves must be specified by using a p–point greater than P4, which
must have its bore unset.
• For eccentric reducers without a connection point, the flat
side must be indicated by P3. Eccentric reducers with a
connection point must use P3, with a valid bore set, to indicate
the connection point and must use P9, with bore unset, for
orientation of the flat side.
• For U–bends (defined as bends of more than 135 degrees), the p–
points must be set as shown for each symbol.

Notes:
1. The p–point configurations refer only to Caps used solely for
blanking and are positioned on the axis of the appropriate face
(depending on type). Caps with different p–point configurations,
such as ‘flipped’ Caps (where P1 is Pleave and P2 is Parrive) or Caps
used as Reducers, can result in incorrect output.

Notes:
1. The positions of P3 and P4 along the vertical axis are important for
deriving correct cut pipe lengths. The vertical displacements of P3
and P4 are determined by the points at which the offline legs
intersect the main line. P0, P1, P2, P3 and P4 will be coincident
when the offline leg has the same bore as the main line.
2. The dimensions of all Cross components depend upon plotted leg
length. The default plotted leg length is 9mm, but you can set this to
a different value using the LEGLENGTH command. The minimum
value you can set is 6mm.

Notes:
1. Generic types ELBO and BEND have a connection reference to
facilitate connections to the elbow or bend. ISOGEN will always
treat an elbow or bend as having an offline leg if it has a P3 with a
bore greater than zero. Care is needed when selecting a symbol key
and point set in order to achieve the required results.
2. To use this symbol, the p–points must be arranged as shown in the
following diagram and P3 should not have its bore set.

3. Replace the @ character in the symbol key with an integer (1 to 9)

denoting the number of segments.
4. Replace the + character in the symbol key with an integer (1 to 9)
denoting the ratio of the bend radius to the pipe bore.
5. The p–point for the offline connection (P3) can be positioned
anywhere along the horizontal (P1) axis that suits your specific
component design.
6. Reducing elbows can have any of the end types BW, CP, FL, SC, or
SW, but not PL.
7. This type of component is treated as a fitting in the material list.
8. This type of component is treated as tube in the material list.
9. The dimensions of all Elbow and Bend components depend upon
plotted leg length. The default plotted leg length is 9mm, but you
can set this to a different value using the LEGLENGTH command. The
minimum value you can set is 6mm.

5. Generic type FILT has a connection reference to facilitate
connections to reducers.
If the connection facility is not being used, then an eccentric reducer
will have a p–arrive, a p–leave, and a P3 to orientate the flat side.
If the connection facility is to be used, P3 will be the connection p–
point and as such must have valid bore and orientation data for the
connection. As the flat side can be either in the same direction as the
connection or directly opposite, a P9 p–point must be used to give
the orientation of the flat side.

Notes:
1. To allow for the amount of pipe that normally passes through the
component before cutting or grinding off, a cutting allowance is
included if the LOOSE atribute of the flange is set to TRUE. This
allowance is determined by the value of the ALLO attribute, if set. If
the ALLO attribute is not set (or set to zero), the allowance will
default to 150mm. However, this default value can be altered by the
LOOSEFLANGEALLOWANCE command.
The system used by previous version of the software (using
‘intuitive’ P3 points) is still supported.
2. To be used in conjunction with LJSE symbols FLRG or FLSE.
3. Reducing flanges will have clarifying text plotted on the isometric
drawing to highlight their presence.
4. Orifice flanges will have clarifying text plotted on the isometric

3.14.2 REDU - eccentric (continued)

Notes:
1. Generic type REDU has a connection reference to facilitate
connections to reducers.
If the connection facility is not being used, then an eccentric reducer
will have a p–arrive, a p–leave, and a P3 to orientate the flat side.
If the connection facility is to be used, P3 will be the connection p–
point and as such must have valid bore and orientation data for the
connection. As the flat side can be either in the same direction as the
connection or directly opposite, a P9 p–point must be used to give
the orientation of the flat side.
2. If an orientation p–point is present in the point set, the orientation
of this p–point will be shown on the isometric.

Notes:
1. The position of P3 along the perpendicular axis is important for
deriving the cut pipe length. The perpendicular displacement of P3
is determined by the point at which the offline leg intersects the
main line. For TESO and TERF, the distance P0 to P3 must not
exceed half the main bore; P0, P1, P2 and P3 will be coincident when
the offline leg has the same bore as the main line. For TPUL, the
distance P0 to P3 must exceed half the main bore. If the position of
P3 does not follow these rules, any weld shown at the intersection
may appear in the wrong place.
2. The dimensions of piping components depend upon plotted leg
length. The default plotted leg length is 9mm, but you can set this to
a different value using the LEGLENGTH command. The minimum
value you can set is 6mm.
3. The TEBW, TECP, TEFL, TESC and TESW SKEYs can be used for
laterals.
