PIPENET is developed by engineers for engineers. You can have as much information or as little as you want on your screen. Revolutionary PIPENET Vision® is an outstanding development putting the latest technology at your finger tips and giving you the reliability of results you demand.PIPENET is easy to use. PIPENET has led the way in fluid flow analysis for 26 years. PIPENET Leading The Way In Fluid Flow Analysis Total Demand including hose reel allowance(US.gal/min)Īutomated PIPENET schematic – The PIPENET Schematic is now automatically inserted into the NFPA Report, for ease of use. Tabular Values in the report have been clarified. Outside Hose Reel Allowance – PIPENET now allows for entry of outside hose reel allowance, which is taken into account when calculating the demand and is included on the NFPA Q185 Hydraulic Graph. It is now explicitly obvious where static pressure and residual pressure are to be entered or if two residual pressure points are to be used. It includes:Ĭlarification of user inputs – The calculation options dialog in the Spray module has been clarified for the benefits of the user. PIPENET Vision 1.7.2 is a service pack enhancing the Spray/Sprinkler NFPA report. Allowing heat transfer to the atmosphere for water along pipes, taking into account not only the geometry and ambient conditions of the pipes, but also the pipe material and any insulation that may be present. PIPENET’S heat transfer capability has been given a whole new dimension. Atmospheric Heat Transfer in Standard Module PIPENET Standard module now contains a model for the General Pressure Loss Component, which can be used to model various components which have a pressure drop correlated with flowrate. Standard Module Standard General Pressure Loss Component This allows for the better transient modelling of sprinkler systems. The Transient Nozzle model has been improved, with the ability to be set as “on” or “off”, as opposed to simply having a zero flowrate requirement. Y-Type Valve: Similar to globe valves, but instead of using an internal baffle, the gate mechanism is located at an angle to the flow, allowing frequent operation with less restriction on the flow. Globe Valve: Typically used in pipelines, these consist of two halves of a valve body, separated by an internal baffle, where a plug closes in between the baffle. Gate Valve: These have a planar sealing surface between the valve gate and the valve seats, used when a straight line flow is required with minimum restriction. This new feature makes that unnecessary.Īngle Valve: This is common in the oil/gas, power and shipbuilding industries, consisting of a controlled valve door around a 90 degree bend.īall Valve: Consisting of a rotary valve ball, this valve is also commonly used in many industries.īutterfly Valve: Consisting of a rotating disc, either flat or lenticular in nature, used in applications which require bi-direction tight shut-off.ĭiaphragm Valve: These consist of a rubber or plastic membrane which is pushed down to shut off flow in many process systems. With earlier versions of PIPENET Transient module, it was necessary for the user to input the valve characteristics themselves. The range of built-in valve models has been enhanced to provide powerful facilities. This is a new way of working with PIPENET’S operating valve in the Transient module, making the modelling of many common types of valve considerably easier. When the pressure on the plug increases above a specified set pressure, the valve opens until the flow pressure reaches the valve’s fully open pressure. The valve consists of a plug situated ahead of a spring or similar device. Safety valve These are used to protect the system from pressure surges.
