Excel spreadsheets only calculate the head loss in a single pipeline for a given flow rate. PIPE-FLO also calculates the head loss in a single pipeline, in addition it: • Calculates the flow rates and pressures in the entire piping system by performing a full hydraulic network analysis. • Selects centrifugal pumps from manufacturers’ supplied electronic pump catalogs. • Inserts the pumps and control valves into the piping system model, showing how the entire piping system operates. • Considers alternate operating conditions and shows you how the system operates. PIPE-FLO provides you with a total system view instead of a head loss calculation for a single pipeline.
