The basis for reliable fiberglass piping systems are the specifications that lay out the requirements to the system regarding material quality, engineering, installation and inspection and test plans.
Cooling water installations are designed to cool an installation in the event of a nearby fire. This can be necessary if the contents of a tank or pressure vessel are likely to expand with heat. We can use BOSfluids to perform hydraulic calculations of steady state flows in a cooling water system that includes many deluge nozzles (sprinklers).
The latest BOSfluids release brings a new, low-cost license option that is aimed at users who are primarily interested in performing steady state analyses.
Dynaflow Research Group has recently performed several level 1 and 3 assessments resulting in either extended service lifetimes or recommendation of component replacement.
The new BOSfluids release brings many small and large improvements to its user interface that make it even more efficient and versatile.
