AFT Impulse

First, pipe networks offer the possibility of multi-pipe interaction. Second, the simplified relationships may not apply if the negative pressure waves reach the fluid vapor pressure and cause transient cavitation. In such cases pressure surges can exceed those predicted by simplified relationships. And last, it is costly to routinely over design systems to overcome these limitations and more costly to correct failures from under design.

AFT Impulse changes all of this. AFT Impulse offers network modeling capabilities so the effect of muli-pipe interaction can be properly analyzed. AFT Impulse also offers transient vaporization and column separation modeling so that pressure spikes caused by cavitation can be predicted with accuracy. By modeling the transient events in a piping system, AFT Impulse both limits the need for overdesign and the potential for underdesign, thus offering the potential for significant cost savings and improved system reliability.

Best of all, AFT Impulse offers a state-of-art graphical interface for model building. The drag-and-drop techniques used in AFT Impulse have been used for years in other AFT software products. When combined with the industry-accepted solution methods used in AFT Impulse, engineers now have a powerful analysis tool with a proven graphical interface and a proven solution methodology. The results of using AFT Impulse are not hard to discern - saved money and safer designs.
