AFT updates waterhammer and surge analysis software

Applied Flow Technology (AFT) has announced the release of a new version of its waterhammer and surge analysis software, AFT Impulse.

Trey Walters, president of AFT, announced the launch at the Pressure Surge Conference in Bordeaux, France.

“Our new version 7 of AFT Impulse clearly demonstrates AFT’s commitment to the global waterhammer engineering community and improving safety in design and operation of piping systems,” said Walters.

“We listened to engineers and looked at industry trends. We have made many user interface enhancements to better support both new and experienced users, as well as added several new file import and export formats to make it easier than ever to get existing data into and out of AFT Impulse.”

AFT Impulse is a dynamic simulation and analysis tool used to calculate pressure surge transients in liquid piping systems caused by waterhammer. According to an AFT statement, there are almost 50 new or enhanced features in AFT Impulse 7, with a full list of those features available here.
