> This section of the Handbook describes Application Codes and how to construct them when editing Piping Components in CAPS2025.

## Understanding Application Codes

As described in the article on [CAPS2025 Short Names](/v414/docs/caps2025-short-names), Application Codes in CAPS2025 are the second part of CAPS Codes.

Application Codes consists of 11 characters for valves and 4 characters for all other component groups. These characters describe the materials and service requirements for a Component. Specifically, the digits describe the following characteristics:

| Digit | Characteristic |
| --- | --- |
| 1 | Type of Material (e.g. stainless, carbon steel, low alloy) |
| 2 | Grade of Material (e.g. SS304, SS316, SS347 stabilized Heat Treated) |
| 3 | Service (e.g. normal, sour) |
| 4 | Product Form (now contained within the Short Name) |
| 5-11 | Used for Valves |

- Open the [Details Page for a Component](/v414/docs/caps2025-details-pages) by clicking on it in the Component Main Grid.
