Catalog overview
- [Narrator] When we start to build our project specs, we select the approved items from a standard parts catalog. These catalogs contain all the commonly used pipe, valves, fittings, any components that are used in a process plant facility, including all available sizes of each component. We also see information such as end type. Is it beveled or flanged? Facing, such as raise faced or flat faced. We already know how to filter these components from the spec lessons, but in the catalog, we have dimensional data available too.
