CIBSE guide CP1 (2020) for pipe sizing (

...

underground pipe network)

The Cibse CIBSE CP1 (2020) guide CP1 is often widely used (recognized in the UK ) for sizing pipes in external pipe networks (e.g. district heating).heat network pipework.

At this moment our , the Hysopt software only supports pipe sizing based on the maximum velocity, the maximum pressure drop per meter , and the or target pressure drop per meter. However, in the Cibse guide, the pipe sizing is done on typical (or target) velocity which is currently not supported.

To still be able As a workaround to size pipes based on the Cibse guide, excel sheets are created which according to the recommendations from CIBSE CP1 (2020), we have created excel sheets to design pipes based on the max velocity method, but with almost the exact same providing very similar results as with the typical velocity calculation presented in the Cibse CIBSE CP1 (2020) guide.

The excels are thoroughly tested and can be implemented in our software as per the method explained above:
