Feelin’ the Flow: Project Dalton Brings Simulation Insights to Pipe Flow Design

<

Project Dalton is an innovative application designed to empower engineers with real-time fluid flow analysis capabilities during the early stages of design. Whether it's a nation’s oil supply network or a residential fire protection system, the efficient transport of liquids and gases through complex piping systems is essential across various industries. The main challenge for design engineers lies in balancing performance requirements with cost, layout, and other practical constraints. Traditionally, evaluating the performance of a design requires detailed simulation tools that are often used late in the development cycle. However, having the ability to simulate fluid behavior early on can significantly improve decision-making and streamline the design process. Launched through Autodesk Labs, Project Dalton offers a fast and intuitive way for engineers to analyze their designs. It can be used as a standalone tool or integrated directly into design software like AutoCAD Plant 3D or Revit MEP. Starting from a standard PCF file, Dalton extracts key geometry data such as pipe lengths, diameters, and elevations. The user-friendly interface allows for easy input of additional parameters like materials, component details, and boundary conditions. One of the standout features of Dalton is its built-in library of common fluids, gases, and pipe materials, which can be customized to suit specific project needs. It also includes tools for generating pump and fan curves based on a few key input points. Visual feedback throughout the process helps users understand how changes affect flow direction, pressure distribution, and overall system performance. Once all parameters are set, users can run simulations to evaluate critical metrics such as pressure, flow rate, and temperature. The results are delivered quickly, enabling engineers to iterate and refine their designs efficiently. After completing the analysis, users can export the results in CSV format or save the configuration for future reference. With its seamless integration and powerful yet accessible tools, Project Dalton is transforming the way engineers approach fluid system design.

Alloy Steel Boiler Tube

Alloy Steel Tube is mainly used in power plant, nuclear power plant, high-pressure boiler, high-temperature superheater and reheater and other high-pressure and high-temperature pipelines and equipment. It is made of high-quality carbon steel, alloy structural steel and stainless heat-resistant steel, which is hot-rolled (extruded, expanded) or cold-rolled (drawn).

The biggest advantage of boiler alloy tube is that it can be 100% recycled, which is in line with the national strategy of environmental protection, energy saving and resource saving. The national policy encourages the expansion of the application field of boiler alloy tube.The consumption of alloy tube for boiler in China accounts for the total proportion of steel is only half of the developed countries. The use field of alloy tube for boiler expands to provide broader space for the development of the industry.

The main steel grade we used for producing Alloy Steel Boiler Tube are: T2,T5,T9,T11,T12,T21,T22,T23,T24,T36,T91,T92,T911
