Is there a way of adding new pipework database to netsys heating/water services calculations? I have a series of calcs to carry out on heating circuits made of Uponor MLCP pipes. There is a database for Uponor Unipipe which is the predecessor of the MLCP press, but the default pipe fittings are cast iron rather then uponor press fittings. The later have more pressure drop across them...
Hi Bronislaw,
Uponor MLC is included in the latest version as below, is this what you are seeing?

Thank You Shane for your reply.
I did select Uponor pipework range in my netsys, but what is missing is uponor default fittings. The default fittings for Uponor pipework are screwed cast iron elbows and steel tees. The difference is significant. For example the screwed cast iron bend Zeta value is 0.8-0.6 while for the Uponor press fittings is 4.4-2.9 both for pipework size range from 15-100mm. In addition I had a look through Netsys manual, and there is a printscreen of default pipe fittings window which shows Uponor pipework and Uponor fittings. Unfortunately in my netsys there is not Uponor fittings... see images below:

Hi Shane,Without attempting to deflect from Bronislaw, but also to try and limit another thread on the same topic, I also have the same problem.I'm looking to insert some Georg Fischer PE100 SDR11 Pipework into the Netsys system. Is there a content pack out there for this material?Kind regards,Jake
I have been investigating this matter with our development team and we have identified the issue. We are working on a fix which I will send to you as soon as it is completed.
Hi Jake,
The above is actually not a Content issue as the data is already present in the software. I will need to separately log a Service Request to process your Content Request. Could you please PM me with your contact details?
