The WinSprink® program is based on the calculation core (SpriCalc), which has been successfully proven on the market for many years.
SpriCalc as a connection to the Microstation CAD systemTriCAD MSfrom Venturis IT GmbH andCARF from LuArtX IT GmbH, so that the hydraulic calculation for a pipe network entered in TriCAD/CARF can be carried out directly.
Three standard tables (VdS and FM) are included in the program. User-specific tables can be added.
Any number of effective areas can be entered, calculated, and saved.
The accuracy required by VdS/FM/NFPA/DIN EN 12845 and the form of the calculation printout are fulfilled.
For each pipe section, the program prints out the following information:
- Pipe number
- Start and end node number
- Pressure at the beginning of the pipe section
- For sprinklers, the K-factor
- The flow rate at the sprinkler
- The amount of water in the pipe
- Pipe diameter and length
- Fittings (number of elbows, angles, T-pieces, etc.)
- The hydraulic length
- Pressure loss due to friction
- height difference
- The total pressure loss
- The pressure at the end of the pipe
- The flow velocity in the pipe section
- Graphical representation of the calculation result with the pump characteristic curve
- Calculation with 120 iterations
- Optimized planning for cost savings
- Calculation based on tabular input
- Compliant with VdS CEA 4001, FM Global, NFPA, DIN EN 12845
- Calculation according to Hazen-Williams and Darcy-Weisbach (spray water and foam extinguishing systems)
- Calculation of arbitrarily meshed networks possible
- Extensive list of pump characteristics
- Output of flow time for dry groups
The calculation core (SpriCalc) has already been tested and approved by the VdS.
There were no complaints. The calculations from FM and other testing institutions are also accepted.
As a paid add-on option, it is also possible to calculate the pressure loss using the Darcy-Weisbach formula (e.g. for foam systems) instead of the Hazen-Williams formula.
