Elite Software is pleased to announce SPIPE for Windows and Plumbing CAD Details. SPIPE is a program that computes optimal pipe sizes for hot and cold water domestic water supply systems in both residential and commercial buildings. SPIPE can handle systems with a virtually unlimited number of pipes. Besides computing pipe sizes, SPIPE can also perform a system analysis complete with a bill of materials and labor estimate.

SPIPE reports list the GPM water flow, velocity, and pressure losses through all pipe sections, the maximum system demand pressure, and the total water GPM demanded by the system. SPIPE is very easy to use as it contains built-in data concerning fitting equivalent lengths, pipe materials, internal pipe diameters and C-Values, fixture unit quantities and pressure requirements, equipment flow and pressure requirements, materials and labor costs, and demand GPM curves. Any or all of the built-in data can be revised to meet your particular needs. SPIPE sells for $495 and more information can be seen at http://www.elitesoft.com/web/plumbing/elite_spipe_info.html
