Today, Molecor additionally improved its innovative design tool, TOM® Mechanical Calculation Program, now not only functional, but interactive and user-friendly system.
Mechanical calculations of buried pipes are critical for evaluating stresses the pipe is subjected to under various external loads. Thus, TOM® pipes must be calculated mechanically before designing a water supply network.
The software checks for installation validity based on external loads and stresses the pipe will support plus its breakage/crushing safety factors.
Software users are able to create their own projects/calculations on a personalized platform.
Reference standards followed:
- ATV-DVWK-A 127E:2000 "Static Calculation of Drains and Sewers"
- UNE 53331:1997 "Tuberías de poli (cloruro de vinilo) no plastificado y polietileno (PE) de alta y media densidad. Criterio para la comprobación de los tubos a utilizar en conducciones con y sin presión sometidos a cargas externas".
Entering values in the software is totally intuitive. A detailed report with all the calculation results is available. Thus, one can find the most suitable pipes for any specific installation conditions.
The tool boasts the following functionalities:
- Project description and related calculations
- Project/calculation management
- Project/calculation logs per user
- Help guide
- Information on TOM® PVC-O pipe range
- Help on changes necessary for validation
- Short and detailed result reports
- Request form
- Reference documents
- Terms of use
- Software access from any device, including smartphones and tablets
