Draft:Pipe Flow Software

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Pipe Flow Software[1] is a software publisher based in the United Kingdom that develops, supports and licences software programs that calculate flow rates and pressure drops of non-compressible liquids or compressible gases for piping system design. Non-compressible calculations use the Darcy-Weisbach equation with Colebrook-White friction factors . The compressible calculations are performed from a selection of equations including General Fundamental Isothermal Flow equations, the Weymouth equation, the Panhandle A and B equations, and others. Pipe Flow Software donates product licences for educational purposes.[2][3][4]

History[edit]

Pipe Flow Software was founded by David Gardiner in 1994 and the first software program, then called Pipe Flow 3D[5], was released in 1997. Pipe Flow Expert, a Microsoft Windows application for designing complex piping systems and analysing the flow of non-compressible liquids or compressible gases throughout a network of pipes, was first released in 2006. Other programs developed by Pipe Flow Software comprise Pipe Flow Wizard, Pipe Flow Advisor and Convert 123.

Publications[edit]

In 2006, Pipe Flow Software collaborated with the British Pump Manufacturers Association and Europump, on a technical publication named 'A Guide to System Efficiency for Rotodyanmic Pump Systems'. Pipe Flow Software also provided a Microsoft Windows program called Pipe Flow Energy that compared energy efficiency for flow rates in different size pipes, which was described in section 10 of the guide. The software was distributed on CD within each guide and made available for download from www.pipeflow.co.uk.[6][7]
