CYPEFIRE Sprinklers is a tool created to design hydraulic networks for fire protection using sprinklers and fire hose reels.
The program carries out the necessary hydraulic calculations and checks to ensure the requirements of the NFPA®13 (National Fire Protection Association) code are met. These include:
- Hydraulic design of any type of any type of network
- Flow and minimum pressure in the sprinklers
- Distribution of the sprinklers
- Maximum allowable distance between sprinklers
- Maximum distance between the sprinklers and the wall
- Design of the tank
- Design of the fire hose reels
CYPEFIRE Sprinklers automatically generates all the technical documents and drawings that are required to justify the requirements of the NFPA®13 code: Analysis of the nodes, Analysis of the pipes and Installation drawings.
CYPEFIRE Sprinklers is an application that is integrated in the Open BIM workflow. This integration is achieved by importing information files of a previously defined BIM model.
- Imports geometric models included in the spaces using IFC4 format files that have been generated by CAD/BIM programs such as IFC Builder, Allplan, Archicad or Revit.
- Exports, in an IFC file, the information of all the sprinkler system installations so they can be introduced in other programs that work in the Open BIM workflow.
More information on this new CYPE program can be found on the CYPEFIRE Sprinklers webpage.
