Static Pressure Labels

Post by Smccoon »

For mainline valve labeling of upstream static pressures, which label keyword would be the best in describing the highest upstream static pressure? This is for a user with a significant elevation change on a gravity-fed system.

To find the max static pressure at each mainline outlet in the gravity system you want to mirror the least amount of friction loss when there is flow.
If you add a Mainline outlet with a very small flow that runs on its own system flow, you will be able to capture the max static pressure at the real Mainline outlets.
Then use the #HY_MAX_STATP# label keyword on the outlets.
