Pipe2016: Surge Overview

Pipe2016: Surge is state-of-the-art transient analysis software. Surge provides an advanced graphical interface and an easy transition between steady state and transient flow modeling. More than 40 years of extensive development brings an integrated surge analysis program that includes numerous advanced features, and astonishingly fast analysis. Surge has been applied extensively, undergone numerous QA procedures, including nuclear facilities, and has been exhaustively tested and verified. Several thousand software packages have been supplied to engineers worldwide.
Transient (Surge) protection and analysis is crucial to the success of a hydraulic distribution system. Surge analysis should be included in the design phase to ensure the safety, and the long and short term reliability of a distribution system.
Download the demo and experience first hand this powerful transient analysis software. The Surge demo includes: 10 pipes, 1 Pump, 1 SDO, 1 Active Valve, 1000 feet (300m) total length and 6 inch (150mm) pipe diameter.

Surge Feature List	Version Comparison	Packages	Demo

Wave Characteristic Method	Unique Devices & Elements	Node & Pipe Emphasis	Operational Control Settings

Developed by KYPipe, the extremely efficient and accurate WCM (aka Wave Characteristic Method or Wave Plan Method), has the capability to analyze transients in large hydraulic distribution systems and permits Surge to calculate transients with extreme speed. more	Surge includes a number of unique devices such as dynamic air valves, electronically actuated surge anticipation valves, vacuum breakers, variable pressure supplies, siphon breakers and many more. more	Results and other parameters may be emphasized by color coding nodes or pipes. User assigned attributes may also be emphasized. more	OCS is a tool used for presentations and operational and design studies. The screen displays the operating conditions for pumps, tanks, valves, regulators and demands and allows the user to change the conditions and launch a transient analysis from within the OCS screen. This feature also provides a platform for applying SCADA data. more
Pipe Profiling	EPA-Surge	Pump Station Modeling	Map Animation

Tanks and Reservoir Levels, Pump Speeds, Water Flow or Velocity Rates and Surge Devices can all be animated or plotted in detail. more	EPA-Surge is a powerful transient analysis wizard included in Surge. The wizard will utilize a working EPANET file to define a piping system and the initial conditions for initiating a transient analysis. more	Model parallel & series pumps, variable speed pumps, and use graphing to help select optimum pump.	Contour Animation: Display animated contours if your simulation has multiple times or cases. It can also create AVI files of this animation. more
Pipe Schedules	Internet Maps	Valve Characteristics	Data Exchange

Select the Pipe Type from one of many Pipe Schedules and the pipe data fields are automatically filled. This is a great time-saving feature. Users can create Pipe Schedules or select from hundreds available. more	Import worldwide maps from the internet for model backgrounds. more	A number of built-in standard valves characteristics, Gate, Global, Butterfly and many more valves are included. This feature allows users to accurately model valve actions. more	The DXF Exchange feature will import and export piping data (lines and polylines) from Auto CAD to create a pipe system. GIS Exchange feature imports and exports PIPE2000 data to and from SHAPE files. more
Device & Element Libraries	Optional Background	Import Map Elevations	Printing, Images & PDFs

Users can create customized libraries which contain data for devices such as pumps, valves, air vacuum valves, surge tanks, back flow preventors, pipe libraries. A library can be created for any of these devices. Some pipe libraries are included in the software. more	Display image files in the background including DXF, Shape, TIF and JPG. more	Retrieve system elevations from the internet for complete contour reference. more	Export maps, graphs, tables and reports directly to a PDF, JPG or BMP file without loss of quality. more
Fittings & Loss Coefficients	Validation	Multiple Languages	Transient Analysis Book

Enter the number of each type of fitting from the extensive drop down and the loss coefficient K’s will be automatically summed for any pipe section. This is another great time saving feature.	Surge has been applied extensively, undergone numerous QA procedures, including nuclear facilities, and has been exhaustively tested. However, we understand that Surge validation documentation offers reassurance. Learn more about Surge’s validation documentation.	Spanish, Korean, Portuguese, Chinese and Japanese hints & menus.	Surge Analysis and the Wave Plan Method: A Powerful, Accurate and Stable Method for Conducting Water Hammer Studies. more
