CAPS2025 Application Codes
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, 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 |
Adding an Application Code to a Component
To add an Application Code to a Component:
Open the Details Page for a Component by clicking on it in the Component Main Grid.
Navigate to the Application section and click +.
Click Add Character in the New Application dialog.
Click Select Character Type Item in the Selection for Character 1 dialog.
Continue to follow the prompts until all applicable characters have been filled out.
When you have selected all of Characters, click Save.
You will be returned to the Component Details page and the new Application Code will be displayed in the Application grid list.
Note
If a value is null or does not exist, the character used will be “N” (Normal).
