FEATURE SUMMARY |
 |
Flow & Pressure Values: Twenty different industry related
pipe flow equations are supported for sizing and calculating pressure
loss across pipe and fittings. Also included are routines for valves,
regulators, and relief devices, and calculation of pressures and flows
in control and relief applications. These routines are perfect for performing
annual relief valve capacity checks. One convenient routine estimates
gas loss from a punctured or severed line.
Stress Values: Routines are included for calculating a variety
of pipe stress values including bending stress on pipe spans, thermal
expansion and contraction, hoop stress, and stress caused by roadway and
railway crossings.
