SPRINK-2000--Sprinkler systems, hydraulic analysis and fire hydrant systems

The computer program, SPRINK-2000, developed by ACADS-BSG, can be used to analyze automatic sprinkler systems: unilateral, or central feed structures or more complex cycle and grid systems designed for North American use. It can also be used to calculate the fire hydrant and the water pipe winch or the composite sprinkler system, the hydrant and / or the water pipe winch system or the effluent can be represented by the k-factor and the minimum flow of any other system. In a network of a particular size, the program can perform a complete hydraulic analysis to determine the flow and pressure drop in each pipe of the pipe fittings entered by the user.

The main features of the program:

• The program can analyze ring and grid systems, as well as more traditional tree structure;

• The program can be used to carry out the sprinkler system analysis according to or on the presence of water pipes or winch, the fire hydrant system analysis;

• The piping system can have up to 10 input points, which can be used as models: a fixed pressure, a city manifold water supply or a pump;

• The program can be used for a wide range of units, including metric units, imperial units, US units;

• The program runs under Windows, all input data is through a series of windows with many function menus, including drop-down lists, selection lists, various sorting options to facilitate the input of data;

• Those who do not have a water outlet or input point of the node, automatically assigned as a reference point to save the input data, the user only need to develop a height;

• Pipeline materials and types include light medium and heavy steel, ductile iron, copper pipes, North American pipelines;

• When the size of the input pipe is set to the size, it can be extracted directly from the program database from the program. In addition, users can also add their own pipe materials and associated internal diameters and add them to this database;

• The program can handle up to 2000 pipes and nodes, and up to 600 job nozzles;

• The program stores a number of accessories with the same length. Change the program to provide users with a tool, the user can add their own accessories and related equivalent length, or by selecting the length, modify the specific accessories;

• Includes booster pump and damper, check valve can be in a particular pipe, limit the flow direction;  given the K coefficient and the minimum discharge of each nozzle or water pipe winch. The program can determine the design point (the need for water and the input point of the head). A pump or water supply characteristic, or a fixed pressure, which can be input one or more input points alternately. And then the program from the outlet or nozzle to determine the flow to determine the input water supply point or pump flow characteristics of the curve;

• Provides a grid layout that facilitates typing. This grid can contain one, two or three main pipe ranges and the requirements of the left or right between branches;

• Provide a graphical display of the grid, the user can choose to display the number of pipes, the number of nodes, diameter or length.

• In a grid, the spray height can be fixed at a certain height, can be entered across a row of grid, or a single slope or asphalt slope cross-line input;

• Grid commands can be converted into ordinary wording, detailing the individual pipes and sprinkler specifications to make a modified basic grid;

• When the nozzle is input to a grid, you can in any grid, to determine the most unfavorable areas of the spray;

• Use of the matrix inversion process to solve the differential equation for each loop system;

• In order to achieve the purpose of valuation design, the program can also determine the parameters of the system, including the length of the pipe and the number of accessories, various types of pipe materials and diameter;

• At the time of input, the program can check all input items in the area, press the verify button, you can carry out strict cross checking and other checks with, when there is an error is the button is red, no time is green.

Result:

The results include: detailed pipeline data sheet, including the total length of each pipe in the pipeline system, the pressure drop, etc., and the detailed node information table. Including the pressure of each node, and the outlet or inlet flow. The results can be displayed for viewing or printing, and the user can: select the results - pick the results, pipe characteristics, etc. specific parts; include the graphic input point (calculated operating point), booster pump and prevent the backflow; including grid Display, such as input in each tube, node number, number, etc. Display water flow; change the title and the general text of the font; insert the page break; export the selected part of the results, including graphics, to print in Word.
