Case Study: Pilot Chemical Company streamlines NFPA fire protection analysis with Datacor AFT Fathom

Pilot Chemical Company streamlines NFPA fire analysis with Datacor in 3 minutes

Pilot Chemical Company needed to perform a hydraulic analysis on its fire protection system to adhere to NFPA codes, a process that involved manually determining which spray nozzle was the hydraulically most remote, which was often difficult and time-consuming. They turned to vendor Datacor and its software, AFT Fathom, to help streamline these specific calculations.

Datacor implemented a solution using the AFT Fathom GSC module to automatically pinpoint the most remote nozzle by iterating on the supply pressure until all nozzles met the minimum flow requirement. This allowed Pilot Chemical Company to easily generate the official NFPA report required by the standard directly within the software, streamlining their entire analysis process and ensuring code compliance.
