A Pipe can have many attributes, such as name, length, internal diameter, roughness, nominal size, material, schedule or class reference, internal volume and surface area.


The data for some of these attributes, such as name, length, internal diameter and roughness can be entered directly into the Pipe Pane input boxes (other attributes are left unchanged and can be amended later).


To set all the features of a Pipe use the Diameter and Material buttons to access the selection dialogs.


Pipe Flow Expert allows Fittings, Components, Control Valves and Pumps to be added to a Pipe. The dialog windows to add or change the data for these items can be accessed by clicking on the appropriate button in the Pipe pane.
