Pumps Gallery

Used to place pre-defined pump symbols in the drawing.

Accessed from:

The following gallery displays which can be left floating or docked to the drawing area.

Select the symbol by clicking the item name or the associated icon. After the pump symbol is selected, the Component Properties dialog displays prompting you to define a tag number for the selected pump. The same dialog also allows you to define component properties for the pump to be placed.

Note: If the Tag Dialog Prompt option is turned off in the PID Document dialog's Settings tab, then a default tag number will be used and the Component Properties dialog does not display. The next available tag number in an incremental sequence is assigned to the component. Properties and tag numbers can be edited in the Properties dialog after placement.

Pump symbols are placed using a fixed-scale size and require symbol orientation to be selected. The following options are available:

  • Horizontal Centrifugal Pump
  • Vertical Centrifugal Pump
  • Rotary Displacement Pump
  • In-Line Pump
  • Centrifugal Sump Pump
  • Sump Pump
  • Vertical Pump
  • Progressive Cavity Pump
  • Screw Pump
