As of the 2018.g version, CYPEFIRE Sprinklers classifies horizontal pipes into branch lines and cross mains. This classification allows for a better analysis of the sprinkler system to be carried out, for example when calculating distances between supports and for the automatic selection of pipes to be held by seismic supports within their zone of influence (which have been implemented in this version).
Therefore, horizontal and vertical pipes (the latter were already divided into different classes as of previous versions) are classed as follows:
- Branch lines
Pipes that supply sprinklers directly or via hanging pipes. - Cross mains
Pipes that supply the branch pipes, directly or via vertical pipes. - Riser
Vertical pipes that supply cross mains via different floors. - Vertical pipe
Vertical pipes that supply cross mains within the same floor. - Hanging pipe
Vertical pipes that supply the sprinklers from the branch lines.
