Purpose
The dialog is used to edit the dimensions, schedules and materials of tee components. The tab Component is used to select all tees for all line sizes. There is no tab for alternative tees. The tab Detail dimensions is used to view a drawing of a tee and to optionally edit the dimensions.
Description
- 'Project number', to identify the project or plant by number. The number is shown in various reports.
- 'Pipe Class', the name or number to identify the pipe class. The number is shown in various reports.
Tab sheet Component shows a list of tees per line size.

The following data fields are available:
- 'Table', a table of selectable tees with the main properties. Each cell represents one tee and only shows the schedule/rating. Select one or more cells and use the other fields to set the properties.
- 'Standard', the tee standard for one or more tees.
- 'Schedule/Rating', list of available selectable schedules according the standard.
- 'Material Standard', the material standard of one tee. Use the buttons to change or remove a material standard for one or more tees. For further information see PCC material selection window.
- 'Dimension Standard', the dimension standard of one tee. Here, this standard is read-only and can not be changed, because it is the used tee standard. For further information see PCC dimension selection window.
- 'Schedule/Rating', the schedule to classify the thickness of one tee. Here, this schedule is read-only and can not be changed, because it is the used tee schedule.
- 'Thickness', the nominal wall thickness of one tee (header pipe). Use this field for one or more tees. When the value is customized, the field 'Schedule/Rating' will display '...'.
- 'Tolerance', the value for the tolerance allowance of one tee. Use this field for one or more tees. To change the unit of measurement see PCC unit selection window.
- 'End type', the end type of one tee.
- 'Description', the description of one tee. Use this field for one or more tees. It is initially set by the default value from the pipe class settings. For further information see PCC pipe class edit window. This field is only used for reporting.
- 'Note list', a list of notes of one tee. Use this field for one or more tees. This field is only used for reporting.
- 'Commodity code', the commodity code of one tee. Use this field for one or more tees. This field is only used for reporting.
- 'Weld joint quality factor z, E', the value for the weld joint factor of one tee. Use this field for one or more tees. The value ranges from 1 to 0. It is initially set by the default value from the pipe class settings. When you change the material, this value can change. Note that this is the joint factor of the opening.
- 'Weld joint strength reduction W', select the material category that will set the value for the weld joint strength reduction factor W of one or more tees. The value for W ranges from 1 to 0 and is used in certain calculation codes to reduce the (weld joint) strength even further than the weld joint factor. For high design temperatures, the factor W determines the deterioration of the strength due to the temperature. This is applicable for seamless and welded tees.
- 'Coefficient Y', select the material category that will set the value for coefficient Y of one or more tees. The value for Y ranges from 0.7 to 0 and is used in certain calculation codes to calculate the minimum required thickness.
- 'Material performance factor Mf', select the material category that will set the value for factor Mf of one or more tees. The value for Mf ranges from 1 to 0 and is used in certain calculation codes to reduce the strength even further than the weld joint factor. For certain media like hydrogen, the factor Mf determines the deterioration of the strength due to the medium.
Tab sheet Detail dimensions shows the dimensions and a drawing of one tee.

The following data fields are available:
- 'D00', outside diameter run at crotch side.
- 'D01', outside diameter run at the connecting pipe side.
- 'D10', outside diameter branch at crotch side.
- 'D11', outside diameter branch at the connection pipe side.
- 'H00', overall height from center line.
- 'H01', height from center line to small end of tapering. This is necessary for tapering.
- 'H02', length of branch tapering. This is necessary for tapering.
- 'OffSet0', offset of run outer tapering to crotch direction.
- 'OffSet1', offset of branch outer tapering to crotch direction.
- 'R0', crotch outside radius.
- 't00', run nominal thickness at crotch side.
- 't01', run nominal thickness at connecting pipe side.
- 't10', branch nominal thickness at crotch side.
- 't11', branch nominal thickness at connecting pipe side.
- 'tc', crotch nominal thickness.
- 'W00', overall width from center line.
- 'W01', width from center line to small end of tapering. This is necessary for tapering.
- 'W02', Length of run tapering. This is necessary for tapering.
- 'tol', thickness tolerance.
The following fields are available for the drawing:
- 'Arrow', to reset the selection modus.
- 'Magnifying glass', to zoom in into the drawing.
- 'Measurement', to measure a dimension in the drawing.
- 'Save', to save the drawing to a file in DXF format.
The buttons at the bottom are:
- 'Help' button to show this help page.
- 'OK' button to close the dialog and save the data.
- 'Cancel' button to close the dialog without saving the data.
