Pipes and pumps
We support you in designing your piping system to ensure supreme quality, stability, and cost effectiveness. Applications include industrial, fresh and wastewater as well as microscale piping system for medical and pharmaceutical devices. We model processes relevant to your set-up employing powerful software products.
Cavitation and Pressure Surge | Waterhammer
Cavitation occurs when liquids vaporize and collapse due to a pressure drop below the liquid-specific vapor pressure leading to catastrophic damage of the piping system. It is crucial to mitigate the risk of cavitation before the system is put into operation for the first time. Leveraging the software-product family of Applied Flow Technology (AFT) we can help you mitigate the risk for cavitation in your piping system and ensure stability.
Turbulence
Chaotic fluctuations of a fluids velocity in space and time are termed turbulences which are often associated with complex vortex formation. In case vortex shedding occurs, the static pressure may drop and lead to cavitation in the piping system. We include turbulences and associated pressure change into the models and mitigate the risk for cavitation.
Pressure Surge
Leveraging the products of Applied Flow Technology (AFT), we test several scenarios that might occur and detect error-prone weak points in your set-up.

Pumping systems have an enormous potential to reduce running costs. It is important to calculate costs for electricity, repair and maintenance when purchasing new pumps as industrial systems often run continuously at constant performance levels for decades. Renewing your system or making small adjustments to the operating conditions ensures efficiency and constant performance at minimum expenses. With a few measures we help you reduce electricity costs significantly and immediately.
