In the 2018.a version, it is possible to install supports to hold the load of the sprinkler systems. The quick and effective introduction of this type of supports, which is required for any type of installation, allows users to carry out the necessary checks to ensure that installation is done correctly, to obtain the justification of the individual checks of each support, detailed plans of the installation and material quantities, as well as the export to FIEBDC-3 to obtain the bill of quantities.
The introduction of the supports can be carried out by loading the catalogue offered by default by CYPEFIRE Sprinklers or by generating the user’s own catalogue of supports.
If users opt to generate their own catalogue, a standard series of data has to be specified, to define the “pear-type” support:
- Nominal diameter of the pipe to support
- Diameter of the threaded rod of the support
- Geometric data of the support
Once the catalogue of supports has been defined, they are easily introduced. First the diameter of the pipe to support is defined, as is the material of the pipe and the distance between the supports that are going to be introduced. Then, all that must be done is to place them over the pipes and look through the individual checks of each support to ensure no errors exist.
With the data that has been introduced, CYPEFIRE Sprinklers will perform checks on all the supports and display a report with the following checks:
- Maximum distance between hangers
Depending on the nominal diameter and the material of the pipe, this separation could vary. - Diameter of the hanger rod
Depending on the diameter of the pipe to be supported, the diameter of the threaded rod will vary. - Nominal diameters
The program will ensure that the assembly being used is correct, avoiding large diameter pipes to be held by small supports.
