The example systems supplied with Pipe Flow Expert may be loaded and solved using a trial installation of the software.


The example systems are divided into six categories:


  1. Common Systems – Specific Items: Tanks, Fittings, Components, Valves, Pumps
  2. General Systems – Small Models: Gravity Flow, Pumped Flow (3 pump types), Recirculation
  3. Isometric Systems – Typical Models: Chilled Water Cooling, Water Distribution Network, Fire Protection.
  4. Common Gas Systems – Specific Items: Tanks, Fittings, Components, Valves, Pumps
  5. General Gas Systems – Small Models: Compressed Air Distribution, Pipelines
  6. Isometric Gas Systems – Typical Models: Zoned Compressed Air Distribution, Temperature Variation, Looped Gas Pipeline


The examples range from simple systems with only a few pipes to more complex applications which contain over a hundred pipes. We suggest that each example system is opened and solved in turn, so that you become familiar with the features and modeling capabilities of the Pipe Flow Expert software.
