Name Data Type Description
Length IfcQuantityLength

The length of the object.

Calculated at midpoint of cross-section and equal to the distance along the flow path from the port inlet to the port outlet. For junction fittings, it indicates the length of the longest flow path.

GrossCrossSectionArea IfcQuantityArea

Area of the cross section.

Including the pipe fitting itself and the interior flow space.

NetCrossSectionArea IfcQuantityArea

Area of the cross section of the object.

Including the pipe fitting and excluding the interior flow space.

OuterSurfaceArea IfcQuantityArea

Total area of the surfaces of the object (not taking into account the end cap areas), normally generated as perimeter * length in case of extrusions.

GrossWeight IfcQuantityWeight

Total Gross Weight of the object without any add-on parts and not taking into account possible processing features (cut-out's, etc.) or openings and recesses.

Not including contained fluid.

NetWeight IfcQuantityWeight

Total net weight of the object without add-on parts, taking into account possible processing features (cut-out's, etc.) or openings and recesses.
