Grinnell Mechanical Suite for Revit Covers Grooved Pipe Systems

Tweet

The GRINNELL Mechanical Suite for the Revit software helps to treat pipes by drawing grooved piping system accurately. The robust tools of the GRINNELL Mechanical Suite help to increase the design productivity. As a result, users can perform key pipe design functions within the smart, virtual model of the Revit software. The forward compatibility of the GRINNELL Mechanical Suite also helps to support the updates as the future versions become available. In addition, users have very easy access to the superior services of the GRINNELL Mechanical Suite for Revit software. By using the GRINNELL Mechanical Suite, users can select from various pipe standards and coupling types, which helps to achieve more realistic designs.

The GRINNELL Mechanical Products include fighting, couplings, valves, and accessories. The GRINNELL Mechanical Products also includes complete systems for joining stainless steel, copper, plain-end, HDPE components and others. These all exclusive GRINNELL Mechanical Products are innovative, competitively priced, and provide supports for the cost and labour savings. All of the GRINNELL Mechanical Products have a 10-year limited warranty.

Features of GRINNELL Mechanical Suite for Revit software

Fitting and piping tools of GRINNELL Mechanical Suite

Mechanical Tee

With the use of the mechanical tee, users can attach a branch line to a main without breaking the pipe.

Insert Coupling

Users are also able to change the coupling types within a few minutes, as well as insert between two selected fittings.

Rotate On Pipe

Users are also able to rotate families easily at any degree by using the selected pipe as the rotation axis.

Fitting to Fitting

Users are also capable of removing a piece of selected pipe among two fittings, as well as connecting the two fittings.

Arm Over

Users are able to route over obstacles through selecting the pipe and the location for the branch to tee up the selected pipe.

Split Pipe

With the help of the GRINNELL Mechanical Suite, users can split pipe as well as insert couplings among the specified pipe lengths.

Different types of Load Grinnell Pipe, Valves and Accessories

Users are able to select and load any kind of GRINNELL products from the EMEA or U.S. catalogs into a design project. Users can create a pipe type family along with GRINNELL grooved products with just one click. In addition, users can also select pipes from pipe standards, thus creating more realistic designs.

Schedules of GRINNELL Mechanical Suite

There is a schedule for the pipe accessories and pipe fittings which helps to list all the GRINNELL products. Thus, users can ensure the accurate bill of materials as well as saving both money and time.

Comparison of the costs

The GRINNELL Mechanical Suite for the Revit software also helps to compare the cost savings of the grooved piping solutions over the traditional flanged joining methods. The technical experts recommend ways for saving money for users by utilising the benefits of the grooved piping.

Connection between pump assemblies and equipment

The 3D modelling along with tagged BOM tables of the GRINNELL Mechanical Suite helps to provide clear and accurate representation of the grooved piping hook-up. The GRINNELL Mechanical Suite helps to create detailed assemblies based on the equipment submittals and bid drawings which can be used for reviews, submittals, and assembly instructions.

Analysis of the thermal movement

Installers and specifiers have been assisted regarding the proper use of the group couplings for the thermal expansion compensation in the piping systems. Most of the cost-effective design options have been provided by the GRINNELL Mechanical Suite, which helps to reduce the chances of rework as well as helps to meet the requirements of the project performances.

Offering CAD blocks and families

Traditional Revit families, AutoCAD blocks, and AutoCAD MEP parametric block catalogs have been offered by this GRINNELL Mechanical Suite along with accurate dimensions, manageable file sizes and part numbers, thus saving the time and money of the users.

Handling Crate and Tag

An effective material handling process has been provided by the GRINNELL Mechanical Suite which helps to enhance the productivity of the labour by about 25%. A complete equipment hook-up BOMs or tagged pump has been delivered by the GRINNELL Mechanical Suite to the equipment rooms for easy access.

Shop drawings

This service of the GRINNELL Mechanical Suite helps to offer tagged 3D Isometric Drawings along with the complete bill of material table. In addition, this service also helps to offer fully dimensioned piping plans for the mechanical equipment rooms.
