I have a pipeline where the main spec is CS150 (150# carbon steel) however the pump that is being supplied has a PN10 DIN flange.
Everything works fine except I can't seem to join the PN10 flange to the CS150 line. Anyone know how I achieve this so that I can generate and Iso without a break in the line forcing the PN10 flange onto a separate isometric?
This is quite a common occurrence in my experience, things like pumps or heat exchangers are supplied with DIN flanges when the main piping uses ANSI 150# flanges. This requires mating flanges to be a different spec to the rest of the line. Therefore I would expect someone will have come across this before, I hope.

Hi ,
You should be able to to this easily by selecting the flenage and changing the spec to whatever you want using properties.
Hi,
In 2011, you can connect Imperial and Metric components by checking "Enable Imperial to Metric Connector Control" on the Joint Settings page of Project Setup. You then specify which joints you wish to allow this for; Flanged, for example.
You could then successfully connect 150lb ANSI flanges to PN10 DIN flanges etc. using the specviewer or tool palette to place the mating flange manually.
Similarly, you could connect DIN flanges to ANSI pipe by enabling Imperial to Metric connections for Buttwelded joints.
Otherwise, simply changing the properties of one flange will result in a substitue error.

Thanks Andy
I spent hours last night trying all sorts of ways but completely forgot about accepting the imperial to metric joint in th eproject set up.
Works great and even brings up a big box to remind you that the parts are not of the same type but have been acceepted in the project connection settings.
Cheers
