In Pipe Flow Expert, a tank can represent a reservoir or any type of fluid supply. It can also model a point of discharge where a fluid exits a pipe system. A tank is a type of node in Pipe Flow Expert. There are three types of nodes used in a pipe system: tanks, demand pressures, and join points. Nodes are located at the beginning and end of a pipe.


NOTE: Be sure to enter the values for the tank’s properties in the units displayed next to the field. For example, if you are using imperial units, and ft for feet is displayed next to the Liquid Level field, enter the liquid level value in feet. You can change the default units on the Configuration Options Units tab.
