Engineering firm seeks software for technical infrastructure (firefighting)

IT project from: engineering firm (Germany)Project no. 23/3153: finished

I am looking for technical infrastructure software (firefighting) for my engineering office.

Our task is as follows: We want to feed the test water with a test sprinkler (assumption K= 1.6) at a pressure (assumption 100 bar) = 16 l/min with a high-pressure hose into a dirty water connection. What hole diameter must the orifice plate have? At the end, we want to have a maximum pressure of, for example, 4 bar. We need the hole disc diameter and the pressure loss via the hose or via a fixed stainless steel pipe. We can determine the hose diameter and the friction coefficient. The calculations in the high-pressure range are performed using Darcy-Weisbach and in the low-pressure range using Hazen-Williams.

I have the following requirements for the software:

  • Pipe routing
  • Pipe calculation
    • Design of equivalent pipe lengths of eccentric reductions in pump suction lines for standard diameter steel pipes (inner diameter)
  • Orifice plate calculation
    • Design of orifice plates for hydrants for different water rates (12-16 bar inlet pressure)
    • Design of perforated discs for pressure reduction in high-pressure fog systems (pre-pressure 100 bar-140 bar. In test facilities, at Q = (root p) x k

The k value can be used to determine the water rate of the sprinkler at specific pressures.

For high-pressure fog systems, the value is generally between 1.6 and 4.

  • Pipe network calculation – nice to have
  • Local installation or cloud

A software workstation is planned, or two users are to work with the required software, but not at the same time. The system used is MS Windows.

The software should have the following functions.

Optional:

Based on the specific requirements, the following solutions can be considered:

SpriCAD + WinSprink: Hydraulic calculation of sprinkler systems
