Equipment such as tanks and heat exchangers are typically placed at the end of a line. After these items are placed on a drawing, lines are added to connect the equipment, and then valves and inline equipment are placed on the lines.
Some types of equipment are regularly inserted into pipe or signal line and are often moved along the line. When their join types are set to break segment groups, ISO and DIN symbols for pumps, compressors, and blowers can be added directly to existing lines.
When inserted onto a line, inline components break the line into two line groups with different line numbers. If you remove a piece of inline equipment from a line, you can join the segments to form a single segment or leave the segments as they are with different data. If you join the line segments, you can choose to retain the line data of either the original line segment or the new line segment.
