Couplings under Pipe catalog
Pipe fittings and connectors have specific connection types, but pipe segments do not. Pipe connectors,
such as flanges, are treated as separate objects in the actual construction. For example, when a flanged elbow
is connected to a pipe segment, a separate flanged connector is added to the pipe segment. You can account
for all the connectors in the system and create schedules for them. Connection engagement lengths (CEL)
are also used to accurately represent pipe lengths and joint locations in the system.

Pipe Connections
Pipe connections model the components and construction of an actual piping system. Connectors attach
pipe segments to joints, fittings, and MvParts. Separate joints, such as flanges and couplings, reflect actual
construction components in schedules.
(CEL) is configured for parts to
ensure accurate pipe lengths and joint locations.
Pipe Connectors
Pipe segments and fittings have connectors that allow pipe objects (such as pipe segments, fittings, and pipe
MvParts) to form an intelligent system.
Connectors on pipe segments and most fittings are located at each end of the part.
