GPIPE is a scaled-down version of our larger hydraulic software GASMOD. The limitations of GPIPE are as follows: Maximum of 100 node points and 5 compressor stations. No pipe branches or loops and no hydraulic gradient plot or cost calculations.
Compressor station fuel consumption and HP are calculated and output with the pressure and temperature profile and the line pack in the pipeline.
A Quick Pressure Drop option is available for quickly calculating the inlet or outlet pressure of a pipe segment for a given flow rate, at the click of a button. GPIPE is ideal for the analysis of existing gas pipelines or the design of new pipelines.
The program runs under Windows 95/98, Windows NT/2000/XP systems. Requires 6MB free hard disk space. A program disk and a 50-page user manual, with sample problems is included.
The larger model GASMOD has many more features and handles 1000 pipe nodes, 50 compressor stations, 50 pipe loops and branches, performs cost and tariff calculations and plots hydraulic gradients.
