How can I modify pressure profiles for pipes during pipe selection?

First of all, download the default pressure profile file we provide, by clicking the "Download" button in the "Pipe Settings" tab of the Settings page.

This will download a "pressureProfile.xls" file to your PC. 

In order to edit this file, use Excel. You can configure a maximal pressure loss per meter and/or maximal fluid velocity.

Both velocity and pressure loss serve as 'hard' filtering criteria. A pipe diameter is NEVER selected when the pressure loss is larger than the maximum, or the velocity is larger than the maximum velocity. When target pressure losses are supplied, the pipe diameter is selected from the set of diameters which are allowed (by the above criteria), and which has the smallest deviation from the target pressure loss.

Summerized : when both are supplied the most restrictive is applied. A "0" value is ignored.
