Waterhammer & Surge Analysis Software
AFT Impulse is a powerful fluid dynamic simulation tool used to calculate pressure transients in piping systems caused by waterhammer.
Designed for use in liquid systems containing:
Water
Petroleum and refined products
Chemical products
Cryogens
Refrigerants
And more
AFT Impulse is particularly useful for:
Ensuring that pressure extremes are within design allowables
Sizing and locating surge suppression equipment
Determining imbalanced pipe forces and sizing structural supports
Troubleshooting existing systems to determine the cause of operational problems
Evaluating the effect of pressure surges due to vapor cavity collapse
Design and Operate Your System with Greater Safety and Reliability
AFT Impulse will help…
Avoid potentially catastrophic effects of waterhammer and other undesirable system transients
Alleviate possible financial and environmental issues associated with inadequate system designs or operational procedures
Prevent events that have serious consequences to life and property
Avoid lost revenue resulting from incidents that cause down time
Validate the design of safety features
