Software specifies pump parameters

KSB is bundling Spaix PipeCalc software with its Elocat electronic pump catalogue.

Spaix PipeCalc is the leading program for the duty point calculation of centrifugal pumps, particularly in sewage and building technology.

The software can both calculate the required capacity for selected applications according to international standards and determine friction losses.

Flow and capacity can be determined for: sewage plants according to EN12056 and ATV118; drinking water supply plants according to DIN1988; and heating systems according to the German heating system decree (HeizAnlV).

For the calculation of friction losses, both branched and nonbranched pipeline systems are considered.

Based on known flow rates the total friction loss of the pipe system and the required head of the pump can be determined as the sum of all partial friction losses in straight pipe runs, valves, fittings and outlet losses.

The results are clearly summarised on datasheets and can be immediately transferred to a pump selection program (such as Elocat or Spaix Classic) for further processing.
