Overview

First introduced in 1977 and blessed by piping hydraulic world-known guru Idelchik, PASS/HYDROSYSTEM has since evolved into one of most powerful piping flow analysis tools.

PASS/HYDROSYSTEM provides diameter selection, heat and hydraulic analysis of steady state flow for real liquids, gases, and multiphase mixtures (including gas/liquid, oil/water, and gas/oil/water flow considering flashing and condensation), in piping systems of any complexity, including networks with loops.

It also covers the most dangerous type of transitional flow related to liquid surge (water-hammer), and flow assurance calculations, including severe slugging, and gas hydrate formation prediction.

PASS/HYDROSYSTEM combines sophisticated calculation capabilities with ease-of-use to deliver fluid flow and heat transfer simulation and sizing of any piping network in any design stage by “regular” engineers and designers. Process and piping engineers of more than 600 companies use the software now every day.

New employees can begin performing piping hydraulic and thermal analysis in days.

Pipelines analyzed include:

• Process piping systems at plants, storage facilities, pumping, and compressor stations;
• Plant utility piping systems such as steam, water, compressed air, inert gases, fuel, refrigerants, and others;
• Piping in mechanical industries such as aerospace, ship building, boiler, turbines, and more;
• Oil and gas upstream and midstream pipelines;
• Outdoor piping networks including district heating, water, and gas distribution;
• Other piping networks.

Extensive analysis capabilities, along with integration with popular CAD tools and within the PASS suite, makes PASS/HYDROSYSTEM an ideal component for any piping system design workflow
