Dip Tubes

[TRdesigner82]

How is everyone doing dip tubes in Plant 3D? We have a number of places where we need flanged dip tubes and I haven't been able to figure out how to accomplish this yet. See attachment for an example if you're unsure what I mean. Thanks.

I had never heard of these. A little googling shows that they are kind of like nozzles but extend inside the vessel.

Is that correct?

If so, do you really need to model the part that's in the vessel? Why not just use a regular nozzle with a different description?

The pipe inside of the tank does ned to be modeled. The dip tube goes down to a sparge header inside the tank. We need to model it.

How about modeling it with 3d solids and then making a piece of equipment out of it?
