APPENDIX B
AVAILABLE MICROCOMPUTER PROGRAMS
This appendix describes briefly computer programs, available to the general
public, that perform hydraulic analyses applicable to the types of problems
presented in this manual. The programs are designed to run on IBM
compatible microcomputers. This list is not intended to be exhaustive. The
information given on the programs are derived from the information provided
by the software vendors. This information has not been verified, nor is the
inclusion of a program in this listing an endorsement by the U.S. Government.
Persons desiring computer programs should contact the vendor directly to
determine if the program is suitable for the intended usage, the pricing of the
programs and the method of procurement (i.e., purchase or leasing).
HYDRAULIC TRANSIENT ANALYSIS
Program name: P TRANS
Company: Pipeline Hydraulics Engineering, Inc.
1301 NW Freeway, Suite 310
Houston, Texas 77040
Description: The following analyses are routinely conducted:
1. Pump Start-Up and Failure
2. Valve Closure
3. Check Valve Slam
4. Control Valve Operation
5. Surge Relief Valve Sizing
6. Surge Relief Packaging Design
7. Resonance Studies
Program Name: LIQT Service
Company: Stone Associates, Inc./DRGM, Incorporated
5177 Richmond Avenue #1075
Houston, TX 77056-6736
Description: Simulation of transient (unsteady) flow in piping systems
carrying liquids.
PIPE NETWORK FLOW ANALYSIS
Program Name: KYPIPES
Company: Haestad Methods, Inc.
37 Brookside Road
Waterbury, CT 06708
Theory Supported by:
Don J. Wood
Department of Civil Engineering
University of Kentucky
Lexington, Kentucky
Description: The program models water distribution systems. The pipe
network system is defined with input data for pipes, fixed grade nodes,
pressure relief valves, pressure switches, pumps, and storage tanks. Pumps
can be installed anywhere in the network and are described by entering three
operating points for discharge versus head. It can model extended period
simulation for the entire system by making system changes including turning
pumps on and off.
