The PIPENET Standard Schematic is for general flow
analysis in networks of pipes or ducts, carrying liquids, steam or gases.

Key Features
Water properties are built-in and steam properties
comply with the IFC67 Standard. A database of gases is provided in the program to which
user-defined gases can be added
The network can be as simple or as complex as
necessary, and can be made of pipes, ducts, fittings, pumps, fans, check valves, control
valves, nozzles, filters, orifice plates and other models. Control valves can be set for
pressure, flow, differential pressure or valve position. The range of fittings available
in the program is from Crane manual. The user can add others, which can be stored in a
library.
The Standard Schematic module has powerful pipe sizing
capability. The user can define pipe schedules from which the program will select
appropriate nominal sizes.
Pumps and fans can be connected in parallel or in
series anywhere in the network. Libraries or pumps and fans can be created with a
dedicated option, then the library items would be inserted anywhere in the network.
Many useful features exist, such as checking for
cavitation, correction for ambient pressure with height, calculation of hydraulic
gradients and modeling of leaks.
