Hey. Great video! Do you know how you can add and edit the Flow Calculation Method in Revit?

[@bimitup]

Hi Tiago, that you find under Families > Piping Systems > Domestic Cold Water. You can use either "Tank Type" or "flush valve", but that's it. I think those are Hard-Coded into Revit. help.autodesk.com/view/RVT/2022/ENU/?guid=GUID-D9E06E28-BEBD-4D86-8CB9-D152D76415BB As far as pressure drop, I know you could develop your own "plug-in" using tools like Dynamo, for example if you wanted to use...say Hazen-Williams for sprinklers, etc. but that seems like A TON of work. Good luck 😎

@@bimitup Thanks for repplying. I am from Portugal and we use Revit in projects all the time but all calculations are in Excell and others (non Bim softwares). So we were looking to put the calculations method into Revit as portuguese method is different and is bases in simultaneous coefficients.

That was excellent

@@bimitup Is there a formula to represent the Loading Unit to Flow Rate relation (Conversion Chart on BRITISH STANDARD BS 6700 : 1997 page - 72) please?

[@bimitup]

@@egmelaku Not familiar with the British standards. There might be an equivalent to Hunter's curves for the UK?

[@egmelaku]

@@bimitup The monogram(Conversion chart is almost in every countries code. Do you work with that chart, Sir?

[@bballwatcher2224]

How do you make the connector with the different WSFUs get associated with the piping system?

[@bimitup]

Whatever WSFU value the connector has will be read by the domestic water system. Just make sure your pipe system has calculations activated.

[@farhansheikh6589]

Could you please provide me these codes chart..i really need it

[@bimitup]

Look for "Hunter's curve charts". It is also in ASPE handbooks.
