IfcPipeSegmentType

Definition from IAI: The element type IfcPipeSegmentType defines a list of commonly shared property set definitions of a pipe segment and an optional set of product representations. It is used to define a pipe segment specification (i.e. the specific product information, that is common to all occurrences of that product type).

> NOTE: The product representations are defined as representation maps (at the level of the supertype IfcTypeProduct, which get assigned by an element occurrence instance through the IfcShapeRepresentation.Item[1] being an IfcMappedItem.

A pipe segment type is used to define the common properties of a pipe segment that may be applied to many occurrences of that type. A pipe segment is used to typically join two sections of a piping network. Pipe segment types (or the instantiable subtypes) may be exchanged without being already assigned to occurrences.

The occurrences of the IfcPipeSegmentType are represented by instances of IfcFlowSegment or its subtypes.
