Group 1 for the Process Engineering Data STEP Application Protocol

摘要

The document specifies the scope and information requirements of the STEPapplication protocol (AP) for the exchange of process engineering data with a central emphasis on process design and major equipment. It specifies the information required to exchange process engineering and conceptual design information for process plants. The information forms the conceptual basis for the specification, selection, and operation of process plant equipment over the plant life cycle. The AP supports continuous and batch processes, process simulations, stream data, unit operations, conceptual design requirements for major process equipment, and conceptual process control strategies. The document includes the application activity model (AAM) and application reference model (ARM) for this AP. The document was submitted to ISO TC184/SC4 and to international experts for review and comment on the scope and requirements of the AP. The document follows the format and clause numbering scheme prescribed for this type of International organization for Standardization (ISO) standard. Additional clauses and annexes and refinements will be added to the Ap after the completion of the ISO Group 1 review.
