PIPENET Standard Module is an ideal software tool for steady state flow analysis of pipe networks with compressible and incompressible fluids – liquids, gases and steam, including piping, HVAC and ducting systems.
Applications of PIPENET Standard Module
- Cooling water systems
- Steam distribution systems
- Ventilation systems
- Water distribution systems
- Fuel gas systems
- Chilled water systems
PIPENET Standard Module models pipes, ducts, fittings, pumps, fans, check valves, control valves, nozzles, filters, orifice plates, fixed pressure drops.
PIPENET Standard Module Features
- Input – isometric or orthogonal schematic input, tabular input including copy and paste from spreadsheets
- Underlay – import of drawings for use as underlays for schematic drawings
- Output – easy, readable output as tables, or display of data and results on the schematic
- Extensive library of fittings and user-defined fittings, using Crane data
- Powerful pipe sizing capability
- Orifice plates – diameter to be calculated or specified
- Multiple pump scenarios
- Block/Break of pipes to simulate closed valves and burst pipes
- Pumps – sizing of pumps or user-defined vendor’s pump curves
- Pipe schedules – extensive built-in and user-defined pipe schedules
- Checking for cavitation, correction for ambient pressure decrease with height, calculation of hydraulic gradients and modelling of leaks
- Control valves – pressure, flow, differential and set position
- Variable properties and temperatures
- Choice of pipe or node elevations
PIPENET is the solution in design optimisation and setting standards in safety.
