FlowAnalyzer vs Hydrant Flow Test Calculator

FlowAnalyzer brings professional hydraulic analysis to your mobile device. Analyze and visualize water distribution networks with simulation powered by the industry-standard EPANET 2.3.5 engine. Results are shown in the units declared in your .inp file. PROFESSIONAL ANALYSIS Run comprehensive hydraulic simulations to analyze pressure, head, flow, and velocity throughout your network. Color-coded results show where pressure is low or velocity is high against fixed reference bands. They are a visual aid, not design criteria: verify against the locally applicable standard. VISUALIZATION View your network with color-coded nodes and pipes that show hydraulic conditions. A legend shows the pressure and velocity color bands in your network's units and marks nodes with no flow path. Zoom up to 2000x to inspect individual components in detail. KEY FEATURES • Import and analyze EPANET .inp files • Run steady-state and extended period simulations • Interactive network visualization with color coding • View pressure, head, demand, flow, and velocity results • Detailed node and pipe properties • Component counts by type (junctions, tanks, reservoirs, pipes, pumps, valves) • Engine warnings shown after each run • Sample networks included for learning • Optional Google Maps background under your network (uses Google Maps and needs a connection) • Field notes that can save your GPS position (kept on your device) FREE VERSION: • Networks of any size • Run hydraulic simulations • View pressure maps over time • Create and edit patterns FLOWANALYZER PRO (one-time in-app purchase): • Export results to PDF reports • Export data to CSV • Export your network as an .inp file • Save your network's alignment on the map One-time purchase. No subscription. DESIGNED FOR PROFESSIONALS Built for water engineers, hydraulic consultants, urban planners, and water utility professionals. From a small neighborhood network to a city-wide system, FlowAnalyzer sets no limit on network size; simulation time on very large models depends on your device. FIELD-READY Analyze networks on-site, in the field, or in the office. The network, the calculation and your files work without internet. The optional map background needs a connection. Open .inp files from your device storage, cloud drives available in the system file picker, or email attachments. TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES • Supports junctions, tanks, and reservoirs • Handles pipes, pumps, and valves • Warnings when a run is halted as hydraulically unbalanced • Extended period simulation (EPS) • Time-based analysis with interactive timeline EDUCATIONAL TOOL Useful for students and professors teaching hydraulic engineering, water resources, or civil engineering courses. Use included sample networks to learn hydraulic principles and network behavior. ABOUT THE ENGINE Uses EPANET 2.3.5, the open-source release of the hydraulic modeling engine originally developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). FlowAnalyzer is an independent application developed by Transparent Blue Water LLC and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the EPA. EPANET is a trademark of the EPA. Results depend on your model and its data. Verify them independently before using them for design or operation decisions. FlowAnalyzer does not certify compliance with any design standard. GET STARTED Import your existing .inp files. Run a simulation with a single tap and see the results on your network.

Hydrant Flow Test Calculator is a field-friendly calculation and reporting tool for fire protection professionals, engineers, inspectors, contractors, and AHJs who need to evaluate and document hydrant flow test results. The app helps calculate hydrant flow from field readings, compare available water supply against system demand, estimate downstream friction loss, and export professional PDF reports. Key features: • Calculate hydrant flow using static pressure, residual pressure, pitot pressure, outlet diameter, and discharge coefficients • Calculate total test flow and flow at a target residual pressure • Compare available supply against system or pump demand • Review demand pass/fail results with available pressure and safety cushion • View Supply vs Demand graph with demand point legend • Save completed test records to History • Add project information including associate, project number, project location, test hydrant tag, and flow hydrant tag • Optionally capture test hydrant and flow hydrant coordinates • Attach an image to a saved test record • Export PDF reports with project details, test summary, demand results, graph, location details, friction loss results, and attachment • Estimate friction loss using pipe product, nominal pipe size, inside diameter, pipe length, C-factor, elevation, minor loss, and device/backflow loss • Supports US and SI flow display The Friction Loss tool includes pipe product and nominal pipe size selection with automatic inside diameter lookup. Elevation guidance helps users enter positive values for uphill and negative values for downhill conditions. Hydrant Flow Test Calculator is designed to make field calculations faster, improve documentation consistency, and help organize hydrant flow test information in one place. This app is intended as a calculation and documentation aid. Users are responsible for verifying all inputs, assumptions, calculations, and results according to applicable codes, standards, project requirements, and professional judgment.
