8.12 Using bolt sets in pipe specs
8.12.1 Overview of using bolt sets
Requirement
● The required bolt sets are available in the base data. See also chapter Creating a bolt set
(Page 64).
● The information for the bolt sets is stored in the <1-n> tab at the pipe parts in the pipe part
catalog or at the pipe spec elements. The control groups of the required bolt circles are
completely filled except for the "Bolt set" field. See also chapter Assigning bolt sets to a
pipe part (Page 39).
Workflow
1. Define the characteristics for the strength grades of bolts and nuts in the pipe spec.
See also chapter Defining the strength grades of screws and nuts (Page 111).
2. Add the bolt set to the pipe spec and define the nominal diameter range within which the
bolt set is available.
See also chapter Adding a bolt set to the pipe spec (Page 111).
