<\/p>\nPIPES++ is a program that does Single Balance or Extended Period Simulations of flow and water quality in a town water supply system. Fire flows can also be modelled.<\/p>\n
Components that can be modelled include: Pipes, reservoirs, pumping stations, minor head losses, check valves, reservoir inlet control valves, various specialised control valves, pressure reducing valves, pressure sustaining valves, flow control valves and sprinklers.<\/p>\n
You can draw the network on screen or you can import it from a DXF file, or from a GIS. Backgrounds showing streets etc can also be imported. Pipe flows may be calculated using either the Colebrook White equation or the Hazen Williams equation.<\/p>\n
Results can be displayed on screen and customised (eg color coded for high and low pressures). Various graphs can be drawn (eg flow in a pipe, HGL at a node, water level in a reservoir). A summary of results can be pasted into a spreadsheet. Graphs can be printed or pasted into a word processor.<\/p>\n

A working demo version and more information can be obtained from http:\/\/www.watercom.com.au<\/a>. The on-line help system, available in the demo version, provides more detailed information on the capabilities of PIPES++.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" PIPES++ is a program that does Single Balance or Extended Period Simulations of flow and water quality in a town water supply system.
