Deck Twin

Pipe rack

Multi-tier steel pipe rack: HEB portal bents (posts with base plates, anchor bolts and cap plates, tier beams on bolted end plates, knee braces), IPE longitudinal struts on fin plates, X-braced bays, an optional top tier with two ladder cable trays and an optional cantilevered grating walkway with handrails, self-closing gate and caged ladder. Base plates sit on y = 0; the rack runs along X. Pipes rest on the tier beams: bottom of pipe = tier top of steel (firstTier + i × tierSpacing, or tierElevations); the walkway grating is 30 mm above the top pipe tier.

Installation

$npx -y https://decktwin.com/cli/deck-twin-0.2.2.tgz add pipe-rack

Copies structure/pipe-rack.tsx and the shared lib/ into src/components/deck-twin/. Needs three, @react-three/fiber and @react-three/drei. See installation for the manual route.

Usage

import { Canvas } from '@react-three/fiber'
import { OrbitControls } from '@react-three/drei'
import { Stage } from './components/deck-twin/lib/stage'
import { PipeRack } from './components/deck-twin/structure/pipe-rack'

export default function Scene() {
  return (
    <Canvas shadows camera={{ position: [8, 5, 9], fov: 35 }}>
      <Stage>
        <PipeRack />
      </Stage>
      <OrbitControls makeDefault />
    </Canvas>
  )
}

P&ID

P&ID symbol for pipe-rack

Cross-section: a portal frame (two posts and one or more tier beams) with the pipes drawn as circles resting on each tier; in plan, two parallel lines with the bent positions marked across them and the pipes as lines along the rack.

Layout plan convention (structural / plot plan drawings) (rack cross-section)

Not on P&IDs (lines there are schematic). Cable trays on the top tier appear as narrow rectangles. A single post with arms is a cable-tray support.

For agents

Machine-readable entry with props, ranges, defaults and ports:

$npx -y https://decktwin.com/cli/deck-twin-0.2.2.tgz info pipe-rack

Or fetch /r/pipe-rack.json, or copy a ready-made instruction:

Add the Deck Twin "Pipe rack" component to this project. Run `npx -y https://decktwin.com/cli/deck-twin-0.2.2.tgz add pipe-rack` (it copies the file and the shared lib into src/components/deck-twin/), then `npx -y https://decktwin.com/cli/deck-twin-0.2.2.tgz info pipe-rack` for its props, ranges and ports. Render <PipeRack /> inside a React Three Fiber <Canvas shadows>, wrapped in <Stage> from src/components/deck-twin/lib/stage. Set props from my data (metres, NPS in inches, ASME class) and leave the rest at defaults. Install three, @react-three/fiber, @react-three/drei and @types/three if they're missing.
