IfcPipeSegment
IfcPipeSegment represents a straight or curved section of piping that carries water, gas, steam, or other fluids. Pipe segments are used in plumbing, hydronic heating/cooling, fire protection, gas supply, and industrial process systems.
MEP ElementIfcPump
IfcPump represents a mechanical device that moves fluid through a piping system by adding pressure energy. Pumps are used in domestic water booster systems, hydronic heating/cooling loops, fire protection systems, and sewage ejection.
MEP ElementIfcValve
IfcValve represents a device that controls the flow of fluid in a piping system. Valves include isolation valves, check valves, pressure reducing valves, balancing valves, and relief valves. They are essential for system control, maintenance, and safety.
