Piping Systems FluidFlow
      is widely used in Australia and Accutech still sells, supports
      and provides training for this program. 

      However, it has largly been replaced by FluidFlow3 which offers
      all of Piping Systems FluidFlow's capabilites 

      but with enhanced features.


      
Piping Systems FluidFlow is "state-of-the-art"
      software for the solution of fluid flow through complex piping
      networks. The performance of almost any type of line equipment
      - pumps, valves, orifices, control valves, etc can be modelled.
      Equipment performance can be viewed graphically at the same time
      as the system flowsheet is displayed.


      

        

          
            
Solves for flows in complex
            pipe networks

            Almost any type of line equipment can be modelled

            Darcy equation or Hazen-Williams for water flow

            Extensive databases of user definable pipe schedules, fluids
            and equipment performance characteristics

            Graphical display of both input and ouput data

            Simultaneous graphical display of the flowsheet, data input and
            calculated results

          		
        

      


      
Construction of the fluid network
      is in a familiar flowsheet format using click-and-drag to select
      piping components from the toolbar in order to add to the model.
      Panning, zooming and cut-and-past operations are all available
      to allow you to design your network with minimum effort and maximum
      flexibility.


      
Piping Systems FluidFlow provides
      the following features:-


      
    
        
  • easy to change a variable in
        your network (say pump speed)
        
  • immediate display of the value
        of a changed variable
        
  • immediate display of a dependent
        variable (say flowrate or pressure)
      


      
It’s therefore possible
      to model dozens of variations of a network in a very short time
      and to optimise your pipework system.


      
Piping Systems FluidFlow utilises
      graphics wherever possible, both for the input of data and the
      display of results.


      
DATABASE


      
FluidFlow comes with 13 user-definable datasets for the storage
      of equipment performance characteristics and the physical properties
      of fluids. Data is entered in tabular and/or equation format
      and graphically displayed. Pump curves can be printed showing
      calculated duty points. The use of datasets greatly reduces the
      volume of data input and encourages the use of consistent design
      data throughout an organisation or project.


      
REPORTS


      

        
FluidFlow allows users to design the output format
        of reports to include any items of input information or calculated
        results. Graphs can be included in reports. A Bill of Materials
        option is available.
      


      
MICROSOFT EXCEL


      
Microsoft Excel can be used as
      an Automation Server or as a Report Engine. Data can be changed
      in Excel and ported back to Piping Systems FluidFlow for recalculation.


      
BENEFITS


      
By committing to Piping Systems
      FluidFlow you can effectively perform fluid flow designs because
      of…


      
    
        
  • Proven reliability of the calculation
        engine and 15 years of experience in the production of fluid
        flow software
        
  • Rapid network construction with
        build error feedback
        
  • Flow sheet, data input and results
        view integration enables the effect of changes to be immediately
        available for evaluation
        
  • Hints and warnings help ensure
        you select the correct component
      


      
Piping Systems
      FluidFlow is ideal for the design of fixed fire
      protection systems. For more information click
