Nozzle List

Nozzles are defined through the Nozzle List dialog. In this dialog, the nozzle tag is represented in two parts: equipment tag (example: 80-T-100), and a local nozzle tag (example: A). After the nozzle is created, it is usually referenced elsewhere with a combined tag consisting of both parts separated by a slash ( / ) (example: 80-T-100/A).

  1. Do one of the following:

    Select a piece of equipment in the Equipment List dialog by clicking on the desired equipment tag and select Nozzle List from the Edit menu in the Equipment List dialog. This opens the Nozzle List dialog.
