Hi,

I need a software or excel sheet for calculating maximum flow through a pipe. Line upstream & downstream pressure are available.

Also for a certain upstream pressure & flow, what will be the maximum pressure drop through a pipe.

 

Pls help.

 

Regards,

Deep

This is a relatively easy thing to build yourself from textbook equations.

But there are many on this site. Also, you can look for commercial stuff for a good value. Try Steve Hall and Harvey Wilson at Katmar.

Bobby is precisely right.

 

I cannot recommend Harvey Wilson's fluid flow software enough.  You can't beat the price he charges for the quality his software produces.  I've used it many times with good results.

 

It is called Aioflo Pipeflow Calculator and you can buy it at:

Try "Refining online" has a little program for unit convert, steam property and line sizing.

For simple piping calculations, there's many websites available for free.

 

For more reliable results, I'd also recommend Aioflo like Bobby and Art.

 

More more complex piping systems, we use Korf Hydraulics by Korf Technology Ltd. I strongly recommend it if you do this kind of calculations regularly.

You can build entire piping systems with valves and fittings, including compressors, pumps, control valves, etc.

 

Hope it helps.

You can use ASPEN HYSYS also for this purpose. When you specify the pipe inlet pressure, inlet temperature, pipe diameter, pipe length and pipe outlet pressure, HYSYS will back calculate the flow which will be the maximum flow possible for the available system differential pressure.

Pipephase would do all of what you ask.
