CAPABILITES

          		
        

        

          
            
Network

          		
          Large
            complex networks can be designed with multiple pumps (series,
            parallel, booster) and other equipment. Ringmains, hydrant systems
            and deluge systems. Any configuration of pipes with loops, grids,
            etc. Pumps can be switched on/off. Any system of units. 
        

        

          
            
Graphical user interface (flowsheet)

          		
          Data
            entry via an input palette visible at the same time as the flowsheet.
            Flowsheet and all input and calculated data viewed on the one
            screen. Equipment performance warnings (eg nozzles performing
            outside range) flag component red and enunciate a warning. FluidFlow3
            allows both orthogonal and isometric display of the flowsheet. 
        

        

          
            
Most remote nozzle identification

          		
          This
            is achieved by inspection of results. The ability to view a nozzle's
            calculated performance simply by hovering the mouse pointer over
            any component on the flowsheet makes identification of the most
            remote nozzle very simple. 
        

        

          
            
Automatic pipe sizing

          		
          Maximum
            velocity can be set in the Warnings option. If this velocity
            is exceeding, pipes will be flagged red and a warning delivered.
            Alternatively Piping Systems
            FluidFlow and FluidFlow3's
            "List" command and the Report Preview allows pipes
            and associated data to be listed in accordance with size or component
            identification and velocities quickly viewed. Adjustments could
            then be made. FluidFlow3 automatically advises on the most economic
            size for a pipe. 
        

        

          
            
NFPA rules

          		
          NFPA
            data on fittings and pipes can be easily added to Piping Systems FluidFlow and FluidFlow3's database. Consequently
            compliance with these rules (and any other set of rules) can
            be achieved. 
        

        

          
            
Pipe breaks, blockages and zone
            isolation

          		
          Both
            programs allow for this.

Reports

          		
          Comprehensive
            reporting capability via a user definable report layout within
            Piping Systems FluidFlow
            and FluidFlow3. In-built
            Bill of Materials· Export to Excel· FluidFlow3
            allows reports in PDF, Word or HTML format 
        

        

          
            
Multiple pumps - series, parallel
            and booster

          		
          FluidFlow3
            allows pump speed and impeller diameter to be varied and affinity
            laws applied.
