Fluid
Hammer Consulting Services (P) Ltd markets the oldest and the most
popular pipe network analysis software package in the world called Pipe2006
(previously know as KYPIPE/Pipe2000). Pipe2006 family of software packages
( www.kypipe.com)
are available for analysis and design of drinking water supply systems,
raw-water supply systems, high temperature liquid handling piping systems,
fire protection sprinkler systems, irrigation piping systems, oil pipeline
systems, wastewater systems, gas collection and distribution systems,
steam (saturated and superheated) pipeline systems. Pipe2006 also includes
a very sophisticated transient analysis module called Surge2000 (previously
know as Surge5) capable of handling distribution networks as large as
25,000 pipes. It has got unparalleled computational speed and efficiency
and has been used by thousands of engineers around the world for diverse
applications including transmission main protection studies, aircraft
refueling studies, fire protection systems for air craft hangers and large
multi-storied buildings, pathogen intrusion studies of large drinking
water distribution systems etc. The developers ( www.kypipe.com/contact.htm)
of the Pipe2006 program are well trained researchers in the field of network
modeling and have published scores of research papers in top technical
journals of the world. More importantly, the users are highly impressed
by the FREE technical support they receive DIRECTLY from these highly
knowledgeable developers of complex hydraulic engines associated with
these programs. This is certainly most unique in this field considering
the large loyal user base that Pipe2006 enjoys and the popularity of the
program.
- Steady state modeling:
Steady state modeling is the most basic and most frequently used type
of modeling when dealing with water supply systems. Steady state modeling
captures most data associated with a water supply system and hence requires
a highly sophisticated and user friendly model development environment.
Pipe2006 is undoubtedly the best of the model development environments
available in the market with its highly intuitive graphical user interface
(GUI) that lets the user create/modify network elements with just a couple
or three mouse clicks. The package also includes several other sophisticated
and time saving tools such as direct parameter calculation, calibration,
fire hydrant analysis, rural water systems analysis, pump/system curve
calculations etc. (visit www.kypipe.com/kypipe.htm
for more details)
- Quasi steady state modeling (Extended Period Simulation):In addition to routine steady state analysis, users are also interested
in the behavior of water distribution sysem components such as tanks and
pumps under time varying demand and boundary conditions. Pipe2006 allows
the users to perform these studies with ease. In fact the Pipe2006(KYPIPE)
was the first one to introduce control switches for modeling automated
controls based on SCADA. (visit www.kypipe.com/kypipe.htm
for more details)
- Transient modeling (Water Hammer): Transient modeling
of transmission mains and other large mains has been an integral part
of water distribution systems design and operation. The Surge2000 program
of Pipe2006 package allows user to these studies. In addition, the recent
concerns on potential pathogen intrusion into the drinking water distribution
systems during the extreme low pressure conditions produced under power
failure situations dictates the use of programs like Surge2000 for such
studies. Surge2000 would be the only software that can reliably and efficiently
handle large systems for such sophisticated studies. (visit www.kypipe.com/engine%20surge.htm
for details)
- Water quality modeling: Pipe2006 provides a powerful
and seem-less graphical user interface for the US EPA's water quality
modeling program called EPANET. The users may effortlessly create a network
model (or import an existing EPANET model), provide the minimum required
information for water quality modeling, run water quality simulations,
and process the results graphically or in tabulated text format. (visit
www.kypipe.com/kypipe.htm
for more details)
- Hydraulic calibration: This module is probably the
oldest (been used by thousands of engineers since 1994) calibration tool
that was developed based on the sophisticated and powerful genetic algorithm
technique and the highly stable KYPIPE hydraulic engine for large-scale
models. (visit www.kypipe.com/kypipe.htm
for more details)
- Water quality calibration: This recent addition
to Pipe2006 family of programs allows the users to calibrate the water
quality models for bulk and wall decay coefficients. (visit www.kypipe.com/kypipe.htm
for more details)
- Hydrant analysis: Pipe2006 offers excellent hydrant
analysis capabilities where in the hydrant flow rates at 20psi pressure
can be computed for a single hydrant, a group of hydrants, or all hydrants
in the system, in a single run. In addition this tool also offers capabilities
to calculate flushing velocity etc. (visit www.kypipe.com/kypipe.htm
and click on hydrants tab for more details)
Irrigation
Systems
KYPIPE and Surge2000 modules of Pipe2006 may be
used for designing micro and macro irrigation piping systems (visit www.kypipe.com
for more details on these programs)
- Design of irrigation pipeline systems
- Transient modeling of irrigation pipeline systems
Oil
& Gas
Oil and gas ( www.kypipe.com/engine%20gas.htm)
- Steady state modeling of gas supply and distribution systems
- Steady state modeling of oil pipelines systems
- Transient modeling of oil pipeline systems
Sanitary and Storm Sewers
Pipe2006 offers a graphical user interface
for the famed US EPA’s SWMM program for studying storm and sanitary
networks.
Fire Protection Sprinkler System
GoFlow Module:
Goflow is a Windows fire sprinkler modeling engine designed to quickly
and intuitively perform accurate hydraulic analysis of fire protection
sprinkler systems and output high quality, comprehensive, customized results.
Throughout the development of Pipe2000: GoFlow, KY Pipe worked very closely
with loss control experts from two major insurance companies and incorporated
virtually every suggestion they made to improve the engine's capabilities
and make their job easier, including: a built in selection list of over
200 backflow preventors (new ones may be added) and automatic layouts
of tree systems sized by pipe schedule for three different hazard classifications.
GoFlow utilizes all of Pipe2000's advanced capabilities such as importing
vector and raster backgrounds, import and export using AutoCAD, ArcView
and Excel. ( www.kypipe.com/engine%20goflow.htm)
Steam(Saturated
and Superheated) Distribution Systems
Pipe2006 offers a comprehensive steam distribution system modeling package capable of
modeling saturated as well superheated steam along with heat loss calculations
for branched or looped distribution systems with multiple compressors
and pressure reducing valves. (visit www.kypipe.com/engine%20steam.htm
