Re: 90.08 degree elbow?

There is a way to connect two components in AutoPLANT that are not completely aligned. This is how AutoPLANT can connect your 90deg elbow to a pipe that would produce the angle greater than the 90deg. There are several ways to route sloped piping as you describe. The easiest is to place two components horizontal to each other but move one of them in the z-axis. Alternately you can use the routing line feature to accomplish the same thing. You will always want to place the elbows first and the pipe between them afterwards..

If you find that the pipe can not be connected you may need to increase the joint tolerance. "Max Slope tolerances" are set for each project for a variety of joint types. You can edit these values from the main system preferences using the Project Administrator utility. In general bigger numbers provide more misalignment.

  Subject: [PipingDesign] 90.08 degree elbow?
  

Dear all, I'm designing a blow down line, it is from low level to
piperack on high level, there will be a 90 elblow between the riser
and sloping header on the piperack, in Rebis this elbow is 90.08
degree (slope 2" per 100'), of course there is no such elbow. my
question is: in the real world, can this be done? if so how they do
it?

simalar question, in real world, how do they build sloping line with
socket weld fitting? of course they can't cut socketweld elbow.

please help
