Скачать или смотреть AutoCAD 3D Dynamic Orifice Plate

Rather than manage (or build) a bunch of separate AutoCAD symbols, I made a single symbol that contains every orifice plate I will likely ever need. Period!

All versions/options are dimensionally correct.

The inside bore is not adjustable. Why? The inner bore has no value in the main model.

Warning (my rant below on Pipe designers inserting instruments in the model):

Many companies allow the piping department to insert in-line instrument items into the model. Why? In short, because the Instrument Designer does not have the talent to model the items, or sees no value in doing so. The excuse is that the pipe designer can easily move the in-line instrument(s) as required whenever the pipe routing changes. Bad idea. As an Instrument Designer, I WANT to know when an instrument location has been changed. (So drawings can be updated.) What better way, than to have it remain in it's old location (now floating in space), while the new pipe route is elsewhere.

Consider that a Pipe Designer moved the flow orifice plate without your knowledge. What if the flow instrument was using sealed capillary lines that were purchased a fixed length. Perhaps they are no longer long enough? Perhaps the pipe with orifice plate move above or below the instrument location? This can be a big issue. This argument can also apply towards pressure gauges, and any other in-line instruments.

Lastly, I use smart programs to strip out the elevation of EVERY instrument in the model, and apply that information to the location plan(s). Cannot do that, if the instrument is not in the model.
(end rant ;) )
