Designing out Waterhammer and Pressure Surges in Piping Networks

Flowmaster V7 General Systems allows systems engineers to predict and design out problems such as pressure surges in piping systems early in the design phase.

Engineers involved in designing any type of piping system need to fully understand the piping network to ensure events, such as rapid valve closure or pump trip, are completely understood.

If done correctly spreadsheets can save a lot of time for relatively simple headloss calculations in simple pipe networks.

However, when dealing with complex networks comprising of multiple loops and branches you will find yourself spending more time creating and validating your spreadsheet than concentrating on the engineering aspects.

You need to adopt technology that provides a clear view of your system performance.

Flowmaster V7 provides an enjoyable user experience through an advanced intuitive graphical user interface, allowing you to quickly and efficiently build networks and to communicate with non-Flowmaster users easily. Featuring validated data entry and an margin for error is reduced, optimising accuracy of results first time.

By using Flowmaster you will be able to:

• Quickly build piping networks with the CAD like interface.
• Choose from a wide range of standard components (valves,T-junctions, orifice plates) with built-in Loss Data from the industries No. 1 reference text 'Internal Flow Systems' by D.S. Miller
• Size equipment more accurately (pipes, pumps, surge vessels, valves)
• Understand the fluid dynamics of the system fully - find out what really happens if a valve shuts too quickly or a pump trips
• Have peace of mind in the knowledge that the software has been certified and is maintained in accordance with ISO9001 quailty precedures.
