What is a .PIPE file?
The .PIPE file extension is associated with PIPE-FLO Project Files. These files are created using PIPE-FLO, a specialized computer-aided design (CAD) software developed for designing and planning piping systems. The content of a .PIPE file typically includes a detailed schematic diagram of a piping system. This diagram may show different configurations such as series, branching, or looped systems and can feature various components like pipelines, pumps, compressors, control valves, and more. These files are essential in designing systems that handle both liquids and gases.
PIPE-FLO software allows users to simulate the piping system designs to check how they would perform under expected operational conditions. This helps in optimizing the design and ensuring the system's efficiency and safety before actual construction begins.
To open a .PIPE file, you can use Engineered Software's PIPE-FLO program. Although Engineered Software's Flow of Fluids software also supported this file type, it has been discontinued and may no longer be available.
The .PIPE files are compatible with different versions of the PIPE-FLO software, including the Professional, Compressible, and Stock versions, as well as the premium version of Flow of Fluids. These tools are widely used by professionals in the field of piping design for both planning and simulation purposes.
Verification
Our goal is to help people find the most up-to-date information about file extensions for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS. We researched over 10,000 file extensions and their respective programs that open those files. If you want to suggest edits or updates about .PIPE file formats, example files, or programs that are compatible. Please contact us.
