Fire Systems

Simulate. Verify. Document.

Datacor’s Pipe Flow Software helps engineers model fire water networks, evaluate pressure and flow under emergency conditions, and optimize pump and pipe sizing to ensure reliable system performance. Protect life & assets, ensure regulatory compliance (NFPA 15), shorten troubleshooting/design cycles, generate audit-ready documentation, and make data-driven design decisions.

Specialized solutions

Easily verify NFPA and industry compliance, model worst‑case scenarios, and design resilient fire water systems that perform when it matters most.

Fathom

Calculate pressure drop and pipe flow distribution in liquid and low-velocity gas piping and ducting systems.

Arrow

Determine the pressure drop and flow distribution in gas or steam piping and ducting systems.

Impulse

Analyze pressure surge transients in pumping systems caused by water hammer.

How we help

Predict surge pressures, verify nozzle flows, and generate NFPA-ready calculations, reducing design iterations and field surprises

Surge & transient protection

Simulate pump-startup surges and relief-valve response with Impulse to spot over-pressurization before it damages piping or violates code. Engineers can visualize pressure waves, identify critical nodes, and size surge-suppression equipment long before procurement.

NFPA compliance

Utilize data for your NFPA reports and Hazen-Williams factors, and nozzle data. This output eliminates manual paperwork and accelerates approval cycles.

Goal Seek & Control for remote-nozzle sizing

The GSC module iterates supply pressure or pipe diameters until every spray nozzle meets its minimum flow, instantly flagging the hydraulically most remote nozzle that governs system sizing. Design teams reduce hours of trial-and-error to a few seconds and gain confidence in their final specifications.

Rapid scenario branching

Clone a base model into multiple “what-if” cases—alternate flow directions, valve positions, or tunnel segments—to compare options within minutes. Side-by-side dashboards reveal the impact of each decision on pressure, flow, and cost so stakeholders can choose the best design path quickly.

Time-saving alternative to hand calculations

Datacor’s solver handles the heavy hydraulics math, allowing engineers to focus on decisions rather than equation-checking. Many teams report slashing man-hours by 50–70 % because hand calculations are relegated to spot checks instead of full design runs.

Data & root-cause diagnostics

When field tests are impossible or data are missing, modelers can back-calculate pump speeds, valve timings, and other parameters to recreate historical events. The digital twin pinpoints the true source of failures and recommends fixes before returning equipment to service.

Customizable output & Excel export

Drag-and-drop result columns, reorder parameters, and export directly to Excel or corporate templates without copy-paste errors. Tailored reports help convey findings to non-specialist stakeholders and speed up documentation workflows.
