Water Supply Systems - Online Design Application
This application can be used to design Water Supply Systems.
How to Use
- Make a sketch of your system - something similar to the default sketch below. Custom drawings can be linked to the application - any global (http://..) or local (file://..) url should work
- Tag the sections and add them to the hierarchical application structure below (modify or reset the default system)
- Add input data - flow, preliminary dimensions, lengths, elevations, minor coefficients and so on for each section
- Modify the dimensions to achieve reasonable values for velocities and pressure losses
- Save the data file to your computer/network
- dimensions, copper, pvc, pe
- minor loss coefficients, viscosity, density, roughness
