Plant ID (Read Only)This field displays the name of the plant the piece of equipment is located in. It isread-only, but equipment can be moved from plant to plant using the MoveEquipment command in the Equipment Index.

Train/Unit (Read Only)This field specifies the train to which the equipment belongs; like Plant ID, it is aread-only field.

Equipment Type (Read Only)This field shows the Visions equipment type for the specific piece of equipmentshown. This may be one of the 21 core types or a customized type derived fromthem. Like Plant/Area, this field is read-only, but the equipment type of a piece of

equipment can be changed (with some risk of incompatible data being lost) byusing the Change Equipment Type command in the Equipment Index.

Equipment Number (Read Only)This field, also read-only, shows the unique Equipment Number associated with thespecific piece of equipment. These numbers must be unique and are chosen whenthe equipment is first created; they can be changed with the Renumber Equipmentcommand in the Equipment Index.

Name (Read Only)This field holds the name of the piece of equipment; unlike the above fields, thisone can be altered on the static data form directly if desired. There is no specificrequirement that any piece of equipment be assigned a name, though one canfreely be given if it provides useful information about the equipment or makessense to other employees.

ERP NumberLarge corporations frequently use Enterprise Resource Planning software such asPeopleSoft, JD Edwards or SAP to manage their assets and finances. The ERPnumber is a unique identifier for a specific piece of equipment that can be used to

interrelate Visions record of the equipment with that of your ERP software; thisnumber will then be displayed on many Visions reports and will be useful to clerks

and administrators who make use of the ERP software.

LocationThis field specifies the physical location of the equipment, selected from anextensible drop-down list. As long as the method selected is consistent across theimplementation, this can be any number of different types of information specific tothe installation in question: which of the multiple buildings on the refinery grounds

holds the equipment, which floor of a single building the equipment is located on,

the room number for the room the equipment is in, a compass direction or gridcoordinates specifying the equipment's location, etc.

Registration No.

This field is used to specify a registration number for the equipment; this could be astate or province-issued number, a number from your insurance company or anumber given by a regulatory board.

Drawing No.This field is intended to contain a the number for the CAD drawing describing the

equipment's operation, and is entered on the static data page for reference only.

In ServiceThis check box states whether the equipment is currently in production use or not.It is read-only, and can be changed only from the Equipment Index. Any changesmade to the In Service field affect scheduling, and will also be logged in the ServiceHistory tab for any pieces of equipment that have this tab in their static data forms.

StatusThis field describes the current status of the equipment in more detail then the InService field can, specifying various reasons why the equipment might be out ofservice. The possible choices include In Service, Decommissioned, Mothballed andScrapped; your administrator may have added or removed options from this list tosuit the company's specific standards.

Flow DiagramThis field is intended to contain a reference number, network path or other uniqueidentifier to a Process Flow Diagram which contains the equipment. This could beCAD drawing or a hard copy.

Below is an example of a Vessel Static Data form

All static data forms are navigated through the tabs at the center of the pages. Each Tab hassome similar fields for all equipment types. Circuits, Services, Linked Equipment, Components,

Other and Notes are available on all forms. The information which is entered into each field on allthe Static Data forms, is described in the Help files. In the Help files a description of each field isoffered as well as the typical sources of the information.

3 Static Data Functions

3.1 Displaying Grids

In all the ‘grids’ such as Nozzles or Section Design, a little ‘notebook’ in the upper left corner canbe activated by clicking on it, the information is displayed in a tabular format which may be

easier for data entry.

By pressing on the notebook icon the full display appears showing all fields in the grid.

3.2 T-Min Calculator

The T-Min Calculator is located in the Section Design and Nozzle Tab. It can used to calculate theminimum thickness for the particular equipment section or nozzle.

NOTE: This T-Min Calculator is used for a basic minimum thicknesscalculation, based on pressure only. It does not include structural, wind- loading, etc. For more detailed engineering calculations, we recommendCodeCalc© . A link with CodeCalc exists within Visions if the client alreadyowns a copy of the program. This link will allow any calculated minimum

thicknesses to be transferred from CodeCalc to Visions.

Before the T-Min calculator can be used, relevant information must be put into the “Code” and “Section” drop-down fields of the Design and Materials section.

To Activate the calculator click on the calculator icon in the grid toolbar. Ensure you have arecord in the grid you wish to calculate the T-Min for.

edited for the calculation if required. Highlighting any row in the grid will show its EquationSymbol Description below it.

The Value for “S”, the Material Stress at the MAWT, has to be entered manually either by typingit in or you can use the T-Min calculator to retrieve its value using the Material Code (if entered

into Visions).

When using the Material Code to enter “S”, click the “Select Material” button. This opens theMaterial Codes dialogue box. Highlight the Material ID for the code and click “select”.

NOTE: Material Codes are entered/updated in Visions by selectingLookup Data | Material Codes from the Menu Toolbar and using thewindow similar to the one shown below. The Stress Values entered shouldbe sourced from the ASME Material Codes.

After the Material Code is selected the T-Min calculator shows the Material Code information aswell as the retrieved value for “S” as shown below.

Once all the values are entered click “Calculate” to calculate the T-Min. The Update T-Mincheck-box is checked to insert the T-Min value into its corresponding field in the Section DesignData or Nozzles Grid on closing.

3.3 Linked Equipment/Protected Equipment

The linked equipment and protected equipment sections enable the user to link any

corresponding equipment that may be attached in one form or another to the equipment piecebeing accessed. The protected equipment section is for any safety valves protecting theequipment and linked equipment is for all other types of equipment attached (ie piping). This is anavigation tool so there are no limits as to what can be linked and why.

To link a piece of equipment access the section Linked equipment

A dialogue box will appear, select the piece or pieces of equipment you wish to link. You canmulti select using your Ctrl and Shift keys. A search feature is also available that works the sameas the Equipment index search feature. (see training module “TM-V4-001.)

3.4 Copy and Paste Rows in the Grids

It is possible to take an existing row in the static data grids and copy and paste it to other piecesof equipment.

The first step to complete this task is to select the row you wish to copy. (1)

The next step is to click on the icon that looks like a tray with an arrow pointing up. This is thecopy icon. (2) this copies the row selected. A message will appear confirming the copy wassuccessful.

Finally go to the equipment you wish to paste the row in, highlight a row in the grid and selectthe paste icon (3) which looks like a tray with an arrow pointing down.

3.5 Save and revert column order

Just like in the equipment Index, the columns in all grids in the static data forms can be moved

around and saved in the order the user wants to keep it in.

The column order can then be saved by selecting the save column order icon (1)

To revert to the previous setting select the revert column settings (2)

3.6 Coating/Lining/ Cladding Counter

The coating/lining/cladding tab is a stand alone grid but is also attached to the section designgrid. All information is entered in the coating tab in the static data forms but can be attached tothe section design grid for the corresponding equipment section. This then shows if anycoating/lining/cladding is attached at the section level.

In this example the cladding was entered in the coating/lining/cladding tab. The section designtab was then opened and counter field selected the corresponding field from thecoating/lining/cladding tab.

4.0 Summary

The static data forms are unique depending on which equipment type is being entered howeverthe functionality remains the same throughout the database. This user manual has explained thebasic functionality for all forms.
