Molecor is the top global player in development and commercialization of oriented PVC pipes. TOM® PVC-O pipes are used for pressured water supply. Molecor is strongly committed to continuous development and implementation of technical tools to support the company's partners.
Intelligent Management of pipe networks made of TOM® PVC-O |
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
