Steam Tools vs Pypley

Spirax Sarco would like to introduce our free application to assist customers in identifying the right steam tools for the job. Spirax Sarco is the global leader in the supply of engineered solutions for the efficient design, maintenance and operation of industrial and commercial steam systems. The Steam Tools app enables quick and easy access to both our Steam Tables and a Saturated Steam Pipe Sizing tool. The Steam Tables cover the thermodynamic data for water/steam, supporting the design and operation of expert steam/water equipment. You simply need to enter a pressure or a temperature into the app, returning: - The corresponding pressure or temperature. - Water (hf) (Sensible Heat) - Evaporation (hfg) (Latent Heat) - Steam (hg) (Total Heat) - Specific Volume Steam The pipe sizing tool allows access to Saturated Steam pipeline data, helping you to size a pipeline. To enhance the feature set, both tools offer the output of this data into a range of different standardised units. Download today to get access to this useful tool, and the opportunity to see what else Spirax Sarco can offer. You can also sign up to our service and we will keep you up-to-date with future enhancements of our application and provide you with details our steam solutions.

Pypley calculates flow rate, pressure drop, and pump performance for circular pipe systems with Newtonian liquids. Build serial pipe systems using a pump database, fittings, and valves, with support for custom pumps and fittings stored via iCloud. Designed for hydraulic and process engineers, Pypley supports early-stage design and quick estimations. Key Features: * Converts all project parameters between Metric and US Imperial units. * Calculates flow rate, pipe velocity, and pressure drop in pipes. * Generates pressure loss tables for fittings and pipes in the system. * Includes native and customizable pump database. * Adjusts pump performance via speed (RPM) and impeller diameter. * Plots pump and system performance curves. * Computes K values for fittings using 3K and 2K methods. * Determines Reynolds number for each pipe diameter. * Calculates pipe friction factor using the Colebrook equation. * Reports pump discharge pressure and pressure at each pipe’s start. * Evaluates NPSHr and NPSHa to assess pump cavitation risk. * Supports custom fitting lists with Kv/Cv coefficients or pressure/flow data. * Detects negative pressure in pipelines. * Identifies when centrifugal pumps reach maximum flow capacity. * Organises projects chronologically, with newest first. * Provides an expanded pipe material library with enhanced data. Pypley is a design tool for hydraulic and process applications, ideal for initial designs or rapid calculations. Note: Pypley does not support parallel or network flow analysis.
