AXSYS Pipeline Import File

The file format for pipelines (AXSYS streams) is more complicated.

As with the equipment, the header lines will be ignored, and the data import will start with the fourth row.

The import routine expects each row to have the following columns for each pipe:

Stream ID
From	
To
Size
Pipe Class
Service Code
Phase	(ignored)
Mole Flow	(ignored)
Mass Flow	(ignored)
Volume Flow	(ignored)
Molar Flowrate	(ignored)
Temperature

As indicated, the import routine will ignore the seventh through eleventh columns as well as any column after the twelfth, Temperature, column. The import procedure will treat the data in these columns in this order regardless of the column headers.

An example pipeline (stream) import file looks like:

Stream Report,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Stream ID,From,To,Size,Pipe Class,Service Code,Phase,Mole 
	Flow,Mass Flow,Volume Flow,Molar Flowrate,Temperature,"Average
Molecular Weight",Density,Viscosity,,,,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
PA_1_DRAW,MAIN_TS,E-200,8,S40,CR,LIQUID, 
	,265478.5954,390.579730,2182.903718,157.63,121.61718048,679.70
451987,0.22032373,,,,,,,,,,,,,
AGO_SS_RETURN,T-203A,PROD-ROB-COLAGO_SS_RETURN,18,10,VP,VAPOR, 
	,8544.1884,2118.977798,96.094312,317.09,88.91461150,4.03222500
	,0.01532331,,,,,,,,,,,,,
STRE-ROB-COLV-200-COOLER-V-200-DRUM,V-200-COOLER,V-200-
	DRUM,,,CR,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

In this case the import would start with the line that begins PA_1_DRAW.

Note: Extra line breaks and indentation has been added for clarity.
