 PipeDrop is
an advanced hydraulic pressure drop calculator for liquids,
gases,
and
2-phase flow in pipes and ducts for Windows
(tm)
based computer systems. The pressure drop calculations can be
in
either a laminar or turbulent flow regime.
Included are 3
powerful modules for calculating pressure drops for single lines, a
pump
network, and orifice plates:
Single
Line Pressure Drop Calculations:
- Supports
liquid, vapor/gas, and 2-phase flow pressure drop calculations.
- For liquid
and vapor/gas flow, the conduit / pipe can have a circular,
rectangular, or
annular
cross-section.
- Supported
2-Phase flow calculation methods are: Friedel,
Chisholm-Baroczy,
and
Lockhart-Martinelli methods.
- Instant
access to pipe tables (both ANSI/ASME and ISO/DIN standards).
- Instant
access to pipe fitting K factors for minor losses / pressure drop.
- Instant
access to fluid physical properties (seamless integration with PhysProps).
- Instant
data sheet print-out of calculation results.
Pump
Network Calculations:
- Indispensable
for evaluating pump requirements consistent with control valve pressure
drops needed for adequate flow control.
- Ideal
tool for quickly determining the hydraulic requirements of single and
multi-destination
pump arrangements typically found in batch and continuous processes.
- Instant
access to pipe tables (both ANSI/ASME and ISO/DIN standards).
- Instant
access to pipe fitting K factors for minor losses / pressure drop.
- Instant
access to fluid physical properties (seamless integration with PhysProps).
- Instant
data sheet print-out of calculation results.
Orifice
Plate Calculations:
- Interactively
solve the liquid/gas orifice equations (ISO 5167-1 standard) for either
flow rate, differential pressure, or orifice diameter.
- Meter
tap arrangements supported include flange, D and D/2, and corner taps.
- Meter
element and pipe expansion factors included in the calculations for a
wide
variety of materials of construction.
- Instant
access to pipe tables (both ANSI/ASME and ISO/DIN standards).
- Instant
access to fluid physical properties (seamless integration with PhysProps).
- Instant
data sheet print-out of calculation results.
Also
included in PipeDrop
is
a collection of 8, indispensable tools which are designed to ease
virtually ANY
hydraulic pipe pressure drop calculation. The tools can be
instantly used within
the
context of a PipeDrop
calculation or independently for other engineering needs. The
8
tools
consist of:
Liquid/Gas Physical Properties (seamless integration with PhysProps)
Gas Density Calculation Tool (for vapor/gas calculations)
Compressibility Factor Calculation Tool (for vapor/gas calculations)
Flow Rate Conversion Tool (lb/hr, m/s -> ACFM, SCFM, etc.)
Heat Capacity Ratio Calculation Tool (for real vapor/gases)
Pipe Fitting Loss Calculation Tool (based on the superior 2-K Method)
ANSI/ASTM and ISO/DIN Pipe Tables (the same high quality tables as
found
in EngVert)
Pipe Material Roughness Table Tool
PipeDrop is
undeniably the most versatile and easy to use pipe pressure drop
calculator
tool ever produced. Examine the screen shots below to gain a
feeling
of the intuitive user interface PipeDrop was
designed around.
  
  
And as is
found with
all premier Windows applications, PipeDrop supports cutting,
copying, and pasting of all data to allow incorporating the
results
into external word processors and spreadsheets.
