Notes
What is a piping MTO template?
A piping MTO (Material Take-Off) template is a structured spreadsheet for recording every piping component extracted from isometric drawings: pipe cut lengths, fittings (elbow, tee, reducer, cap, cross), flanges (with face rating and bolting), gaskets, studs / nuts, valves, supports, insulation. Per-line grouping with specification and material data per ASME B31.3 (process piping), B31.1 (power), B31.4 (liquid pipelines), or B31.8 (gas transmission). The basis for procurement RFQs, fabrication shop cutting lists, and weld schedule generation.
Can Pathnovo auto-generate piping MTOs from scanned isometrics?
Yes — this is a blue-ocean workflow with zero software competitors globally. Pathnovo extracts piping MTO data from any isometric format including scanned hand-drawn drawings from the 1980s, PDF exports, ISOGEN outputs, and photographed drawings. AVEVA ERM and Hexagon Smart Materials work only from 3D models; Pathnovo works from 2D isometrics where no 3D model exists. 99.5% contractual accuracy, 48-hour turnaround. See /solutions/piping-mto-extraction/mto-from-isometric.
What file formats does the template work with?
Excel (.xlsx) primary format. Export variants to CSV (for ERP import), JSON (for API integration), PCF / IDF (ISOGEN / PDS / Intergraph SmartPipe fabrication shop formats). Fabrication shop ERP integration (Larsen & Toubro LFMS, Bentley AutoPIPE, Intergraph SmartPipe, L&T Fabcon) supported via direct format export. See /industries/piping-fabrication.
How does this template support ASME B31.3 vs B31.1 requirements?
The Code column captures applicable code per line (B31.3 Normal / Category D / Severe Cyclic service, B31.1 for power piping, B31.4 for liquid pipelines, B31.8 for gas transmission, EN 13480 for European process piping). NDE requirements (RT / UT / MT / PT percentage), PWHT requirements (from ASME B31.3 Table 331.1.1), and code-specific material restrictions all flow from the Code designation. For IBR-scoped piping, an additional IBR-scope column flags Chief Inspector of Boilers stamping requirements — see /compliance/ibr.
How do I integrate this MTO into procurement RFQ workflow?
Populated MTO feeds directly into Material Requisition (MR) package assembly — Pathnovo offers this as a managed service at /solutions/procurement-intelligence. For vendor RFQ workflow, the MTO data groups by specification class (PMS) and material type for efficient vendor packaging. Downstream cost estimation, procurement approval, and vendor PO generation all reference the MTO as the authoritative scope document.
Does the template support revamp and brownfield projects?
Yes. For revamp projects where existing / modified / new scope coexists on the same isometric, an additional Scope column flags each MTO line as 'existing', 'modified', 'new-installed', or 'demolish'. This prevents over-ordering (procurement team orders only new material) and clarifies fabrication scope (fabrication team knows what is field-welded to existing pipework). Particularly valuable for Indian PSU refinery revamps (IOCL / BPCL / HPCL brownfield projects).
