Piping Commodity Codes / Material Catalog 2

[RobbieG]

My company is setting up a new Piping Material Catalog for engineering and material management. Are there any generic databases out there (non vendor) that we can use instead of starting from scratch?

Pretty much only as far as the Standard wall thicknesses and the Scheduled wall thicknesses for pipe, fittings and flanges will take you although most companies that do this on a regular basis all have their line specs which detail the attributes that various common items must have for various standard service conditons. You might start with those.

PNCM0002 - Piping Material Specifications Line Class Index

This Practice provides a listing of the PIP Piping Material Specifications. PNCM0002 describes the basic characteristics of each PIP Material Specification. Each specification listed is described by pressure class, primary material, corrosion allowance, service type, and joint construction.

I appreciate all of the responses to date. However, what I am seeking is a piping commodity code database which assigns commodity codes / catalog codes to each type of pipe, fitting, valve.
Most EPC majors develop their own, some vendors supply them and many of the design packages such as PDS, PDMS, Timberline and Puma 5 supply an add-on set of commodity codes.
They are pimarily used for requisitioning and PO placement.
I am trying to ascertain if such such database can be obtained outside of the EPC majors and design packages.
Again, thanks for responses to date.

RobbieG I will be pleased to help you out for the commodity codes problem you've got, we work on the same field, if you are interested drop me a note.

cheers

At one time we used a vendors commodity code. They gave us a database or excel file with their codes and we code access their site to buy. it is

I haven't used them in a while, but they may be able to get you something.
