Powerful and affordable hydraulic calculation software for automatic fire sprinkler systems. SHC has all the features you need to enter system data, evaluate results, and produce professional hydraulic calculation reports. Calculations use the Hazen-Williams or Darcy-Weisbach friction loss formula. Wet, dry, preaction, tree, loop, gridded, and custom systems may all be calculated. Multiple water sources, multiple booster pumps, multiple fixed loss devices, negative elevations, SI and U.S.

Download Elite Fire for Hydraulic Calculations Fire Sprinkler, Firefighting, Software, Fire. Free program for calculation of FM 200 fire suppression system.

Units, automatic peaking, and velocity pressures are all supported. You may also create custom pipe diameters, fitting equivalent lengths, and liquid properties.

SHC's modern syntax highlighting editor allows you to enter sprinkler system data efficiently with input flexibility most programs lack. Errors are highlighted in real time. There are 'Pop-up helpers' for material and fitting codes so you don't have to memorize them. Automatic 'proposals' anticipate the next parameter and type it for you.

Users may enter lengths and elevations using the foot and inch symbols. Group editing makes it easy to change all values of a specific type in your selection, such as k-factors or discharges. SHC even allows pipe and node names up to 8 alphanumeric characters long. SHC's calculation results window allows you to quickly evaluate your design.

All relevant system, pipe, and node data is shown. Data may be sorted by clicking on the column heading. You can customize the pipe information shown.

Best of all, the calculation results window can stay open and visible while you make changes in the editor window! Simply resize and drag the results window to a convenient spot on your screen! When your design is done, SHC will print a professional hydraulic calculation report or save it as a pdf file. SHC can generate a NFPA 13 style report or you can modify the information shown as needed.

Overview Elite's Fire Program quickly performs all necessary hydraulic calculations as required by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 13). Fire also estimates sprinkler head requirements, calculates optimal pipe sizes, and automatically performs a peaking analysis.

Fire can handle all types of sprinkler systems (trees, grids, and hybrids) with up to 1,000 or more sprinklers and pipes. Meters and standpipes can also be analyzed. Fire calculates the GPM water flow and velocity through all pipe sections, the GPM flow and residual pressure at each sprinkler head, the pressure losses incurred in each pipe section due to both friction and elevation changes, the maximum system demand pressure, and the total water GPM demanded by the system. The report format is designed to aid both the designer and the plan reviewer.

Calculation Method Fire uses the Newton Raphson matrix solution technique to solve pipe networks, where each pipe is defined to flow according to the Hazen Williams formula. Calculations can be made for a given water supply pressure or they can be performed such that Fire determines the lowest water supply pressure that adequately drive the sprinkler system. Calculations are very fast and accurate.

The user manual lists all the pertinent equations to allow full manual verification. Program Input All input is checked at the time of entry so that no improper data can be entered. Upon completion of the input process, all data is saved and can be reviewed and edited whenever desired. Two types of data are requested: general project data and pipe segment data. The general project data includes the project name and location, the client name, sprinkler specifications, hazard description, density requirements, hose stream allowances, hydrant test data, and other such data. The pipe data requires that each pipe section be defined as having a beginning and ending node number.
