Datacor Platinum Pipe Awards

Your best model deserves more than a project archive.

Since 2001, the Platinum Pipe Awards have recognized engineers around the world for the work they've done with Datacor's Flow Simulation software. If you've built a model you're proud of, this is where it gets seen.

Submit the Entry Form

Send your entry form, model, and summary to us! Our engineers handle the evaluation from there.

Award Categories

If you are a Fathom, Impulse, Arrow or xStream user, you can submit your entry under one of these categories:

Operational Benefits or Sustainability

Projects that delivered something measurable: cost savings, energy efficiency, throughput, or environmental gains. If your model moved a real number, it belongs here.
Petrochemical-3 Petrochemical-3

Most Interesting Model

The complex, unusual, or genuinely clever builds that pushed the software to its limits. The ones you actually want to talk about.
Power-2 Power-2

Test / Data Correlation

Entries that validated model predictions against real-world field or test data. For the engineers who don't trust a result until it's confirmed.

Power-5
Fern + Arrow When Hand Calculations Couldn't Scale, Arrow Solved a 92-Junction Gas Turbine Fuel Model in a Fraction of the Time.

EGT spread is a turbine life killer. Fern Engineering used Datacor Arrow to model the exact fuel flow variations causing it, validated predictions against real test data, and delivered results a hand calculation never could.
