The design of the main steam line is at the heart of power station design. PIPENET Transient module generates the time-history which is needed for pipe stress analysis.

Pipe stress analysis programs can import time history from PIPENET. Besides accurately predicting liquid flow, PIPENET Transient module can also properly model the steam hammer and further estimate the magnitude of dynamic forces in the pipeline.

The steam hammer normally happens when one or more valves suddenly close or open. In a power plant, the steam hammer could be an inevitable phenomenon during turbine trip because many relative valves (e.g., main steam valves) must be closed very quickly to protect the turbine from further damage.
