Incorrect Pipe Notes on Netsys
Hi,
I've modeled a BCWS in netsys, the system connects fine, however the output table for the system is fine, however pipe notes display different sizes. And sizes that don't exist on the sizing criteria selected (copper old X)
Any ideas?
Thanks…

RE: Pipework Velocities Input
Hi Jamie,
The CIBSE table is using typical bands therefore it would make sense to enter the highest CIBSE value for each band in the system marker. This limits the velocity for any sizes within that band. The settings shown below would meet that criteria…
