7.5.2.25 IfcPipeFittingTypeEnum

7.5.2.25.1 Semantic definition

This enumeration is used to identify the primary purpose of a pipe fitting. This is a very basic categorization mechanism to generically identify the pipe fitting type. Subcategories of pipe fittings are not enumerated.

7.5.2.25.2 Type values

Type	Description
`BEND`	A fitting with typically two ports used to change the direction of flow between connected elements.
`CONNECTOR`	Connector fitting, typically used to join two ports together within a flow distribution system (e.g., a coupling used to join two pipe segments).
`ENTRY`	Entry fitting, typically unconnected at one port and connected to a flow distribution system at the other (e.g., a breeching inlet).
`EXIT`	Exit fitting, typically unconnected at one port and connected to a flow distribution system at the other (e.g., a hose bibb).
`JUNCTION`	A fitting with typically more than two ports used to redistribute flow among the ports and/or to change the direction of flow between connected elements (e.g, tee, cross, wye, etc.).
`OBSTRUCTION`	A fitting with typically two ports used to obstruct or restrict flow between the connected elements (e.g., screen, perforated plate, etc.).
`TRANSITION`	A fitting with typically two ports having different shapes or sizes. Can also be used to change the direction of flow between connected elements.
`USERDEFINED`	User-defined fitting.
`NOTDEFINED`	Undefined fitting.
