The WinSprink® program is based on the calculation core (SpriCalc), which has been successfully proven on the market for many years.

Calculation of open andmeshedsystems is possible.

The data is enteredwithoutCAD program purely tabular using an input tree, similar to Windows Explorer.

Enter the following pipe information:

• DN value
• C-value
• junctions
• Number of fittings/special lengths
• Comments

‍

For example, sub-elements of a strand pipe can be clearly listed within a pipe. Copy functions allow pipes that have been defined once to be used multiple times.

Automatic transfer of equivalent lengths of installation parts via the equivalent length table.

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.

WinSprink meets the accuracy requirements specified by VdS/FM/NFPA/DIN EN 12845 and the format of the calculation printout.

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

WinSprink® meets the requirements of the VdS guidelines.
The calculation core has already been checked and approved by the VdS.
There were no complaints. The calculations from FM and other testing institutions are also accepted.

As an additional option for a fee, there is also the option to use the pressure loss insteadHazen-Williams formulaafterDarcy-Weisbach formula(e.g. for foam systems).
