They provide clear information on the configuration and routing of piping systems.Īs a potential actor in these industries, it is therefore vital that you have a thorough understanding of Piping Isometric components and construction. These engineering drawings are used worldwide in design, construction, commissioning, operation and maintenance of industrial plants. Piping Isometrics, commonly referred to as Isos, are encountred nowadays throughout all process industries such as Oil & Gas, chemical, pharmaceutical or food industries. If you pass, wonderful ! If not, you can review the videos and notes again or ask us for help in the Q&A section. When you think you’ve got a good grasp on a topic within the course, you can test your knowledge by taking the quiz. With the 'Isometric to Standard' type transposition the result can often be visualized as an offset view from overhead, where the vertical lines can still be seen.We have added a quiz at the end of each section to help you test your knowledge and emphasize the key learning points. This is to avoid any confusion caused by nodes being placed over the top of other nodes or pipes. When clicking the ISO Mode On/Off Toggle button to transpose from isometric view to a 'flattened' standard view, any vertical lines from the isometric view will be drawn at 45 degrees. Selecting either of these options will change the display of all tanks and end pressure on the isometric view. The drawing menu provides options to display an ‘Isometric tank view from the left’ or to display an ‘Isometric tank view from the right’. Tanks and end-pressure nodes will also be displayed in the isometric plane.

When the isometric drawing mode has been selected Pipe Flow Expert will show fittings, valves, components, control valves and pumps in the isometric plane which follows the associated pipe direction.

Users can easily switch between these using the ISO Mode On/Off Toggle button.

Pipe Flow Expert has two drawing modes, standard (‘flattened’) view and isometric view.
