Syncster Pipe Flow Pro

Pipe Flow Pro is a calculator for pressure flow in pipes. It works out the head a pipe loses, the flow it carries or the size it needs, where a pump runs on its system, and the flows and pressures of a network you draw by touch. It is made for civil, mechanical and irrigation engineers, and for students of hydraulics. FIVE CALCULATIONS • Pipe flow: the head loss, the discharge or the diameter of a pipe, with friction, fittings and a change of elevation • Pipes in series: the loss in each pipe, the pressure along the line and the hydraulic grade line • Pipes in parallel: how a flow divides between the pipes, and the head they all lose • Pump and system: a pump curve against the curve of its system, with the operating point, the head and the power • Pipe network: draw reservoirs, junctions and pipes on a canvas, and see the flow in every pipe and the pressure at every junction solved again at each change METHODS • Darcy-Weisbach friction with the Colebrook-White equation, for laminar and turbulent flow • Hazen-Williams, for water supply work • Minor losses from the loss coefficients of fittings and valves • Water properties by temperature FEATURES • Metric and English units: switch on any calculation and what you typed is converted • Results as you type, with a plain message beside any input that is missing or out of range • Charts: the head loss curve, the hydraulic grade line, and the pump and system curves • PDF reports with the inputs, results, chart, tables and network diagram, to share or print • Saved calculations that open again as you left them • Formulas and tables: the equations used, the roughness of common pipe materials, and the loss coefficients of fittings and valves • iPhone and iPad No account, no ads, and no data collected. The app works offline. The results are for preliminary design and checking. Roughness and loss coefficients are typical values: confirm them from the maker's data and local standards, and have the design reviewed by a qualified engineer.
