12 Pipe Flow Expert User Guide
Introduction
Pipe Flow Expert is a software application that runs on the Microsoft Windows operating system.
It used by engineers in over 75 countries worldwide, to model pipe systems where the flow rates,
pressure losses, and pumping requirements of the system need to be calculated.
The Pipe Flow Expert software has an intuitive interface that makes it easy for users to start working
on their pipe designs, which can be drawn out on a 2D or 3D isometric grid.
The software is backed up by an unrivalled support service that provides help to users when they
need it.
Pipe Flow Expert Software
Pipe Flow Expert is designed to help today’s engineers analyze and solve a wide range of hydraulic
problems where the flow rates, pressure losses and pumping requirements throughout a pipe
network must be determined.
The Pipe Flow Expert software will allow you to easily draw out a pipeline system and analyze the
performance of the system when flow is occurring. Pipe Flow Expert calculates the balanced steady
flow and pressure conditions of the system.
The software will allow you to perform analysis of alternate systems under various operating
conditions.
The reported results include:
flow rates for each pipe
fluid velocities for each pipe
Reynolds numbers
friction factors
friction pressure losses
fitting pressures losses
component pressure losses
pressures at each node
HGL (hydraulic grade line) values
pump operating points
NPSHa at pump inlet
The input and display of system information on the Pipe Flow Expert drawing and in the results
tables can be shown in metric or imperial units to suit your preference and specific units for each
item (such as flow rate) can also be configured and set on an individual basis as required.
The Pipe Flow Expert software has been designed for the professional engineer who needs a
powerful tool that has a class leading, easy to use and robust interface that makes it simple to design
and analyze pipe networks.
