PIPENET USER MANUAL SOFTWARE

NFPA report: PIPENET reports as recommended by the NFPA reporting standard.Дў5. Pumps can be defined flexibly, precisely and easily with these options.Дў4. Pump curves: PIPENET has three different types of pump curve: quadratic, cubic and spline smooth. Fittings: All the fittings defined in NFPA rules, FOC standard and Chinese GB standard are built in PIPENET Spray/Sprinkler Module.Дў3. User can add often-used components to a library, and so avoid re-inputting components.Дў2. Libraries: Extensive libraries are available for pipe schedules, pumps, nozzles, linings and deluge valves. Pipe sizing: PIPENET has a huge range in its pipe sizing function, enabling engineers to plan as easily for massive pipes as for small pipes.Дў1. Pipe status: PIPENET recognises pipes as blocked or broken, enabling fast repair, crucial for fire protection systems.Дў0. Powerful network solving ability: No matter how complex a network, and how many loops are included, the network can be solved precisely and quickly!ДЎ9. Useful calculation specifications: PIPENET features a remote nozzle option, a mass balance option and a user-defined option.ДЎ8. It is the leading international fire protection software.ДЎ7. International fire protection standard: PIPENET Spray/Sprinkler is compliant with NFPA standards, an FOC standard, and the Chinese GB standard. Comprehensive modelling tools: PIPENET provides totally comprehensive modelling tools for fire water system, including pipe, pump, filter, nozzle, non-return valve, deluge valve, overboard dump valve, orifice plate and equipment items.ДЎ6. PIPENET is renowned for outstanding comprehensive, fast, accurate and reliable modelling.ДЎ5. Autolayout saves hours of repeated inputting!

Spray/Sprinkler autolayout automates the design of sprinkler systems for protecting storage/process vessels, areas or other objects/locations from the effects of fire, according to NFPA rules. Automatic layout capability: PIPENET Autolayout capability enables the engineer to produce huge deluge systems with little input, in seconds. Autosave: The engineer can specify the frequency at which the autosave operations should be preformed.ДЎ4. Interface with AutoCAD: PIPENET can export DXF file.ДЎ3. Simple and Complex rules can be defined.ДЎ2. Interface with the plotter: PIPENET can export the schematic as HP-GL/2 format. Colouration: All the nodes, pipes and nozzles can be coloured according to a certain attribute.ДЎ1. For example the pipes can be sorted according to the velocity and the nozzles can be sorted according to the deviation.ДЎ0. Sorting function: Sort the data as you prefer in the data window. The table is clear, easy to read and can be easily modified.Д©. Data table: PIPENET presents all the data in table format. Global edit function: Using this function, the attributes for all the components can be edited in one step.ДЁ.

In addition, Undo/ redo, zoom/pan, schematic overview, combination of subnets, and an easy to use data window also make the component graphical manipulation a simple task.Д§. Mirror, invert and rotate functions are also available to flip or rotate components. Component graphical manipulation: The components can be flipped or rotated by dragging the ends of the components to suit a users preference. Data and tables can be imported to EXCEL, or exported from EXCEL, giving the engineer total flexibility.Д¦. Interface with EXCEL: PIPENET is compatible with the spreadsheet programs, such as EXCEL. Interface with WORD: PIPENET can export the schematic to clipboard, and then paste in other programs such as WORD.ДҐ. Area tool and polygon tool: With those two tools, simply choose an area in the schematic using the mouse, then copy, cut, paste, delete, mirror, invert and rotate all the components in this area in one step. Multiple components creation tools: Add multiple pipes tool and add multiple nozzles tool are especially useful in creating multiple pipes and multiple nozzles at the touch of a button.ДЈ. The hot keys available for copy, cut and paste functions increase speed and efficiency even further.Дў. With this facility, it is easy to build a large network quickly and easily. Copy and paste between different networks or within the same network. Copy/paste function: Copy, cut, and paste functions are available for whole sub-networks including schematic and data. Please refer to Section 3 for examples.ДЎ. The creation of the large and complex networks is fast and efficient. PIPENET interface is flexible and easy to use.
