Canute FHCPro is an advanced hydraulic analysis and design software for fire sprinkler networks. Developed to comply with major international standards like NFPA 13, it enables precise modeling of piping networks, pressure loss calculations, optimal pipe sizing, pump selection, and verification of required flow and pressure at the most remote and demanding sprinkler heads. Its core purpose is to facilitate safe, economical, and code-compliant design of automatic fire sprinkler systems.
Canute FHCPro v1.8.6 is a specialized hydraulic calculation software for water-based fire sprinkler systems. It is designed for Fire Protection Engineers, MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) Designers, Building Services Engineers, Sprinkler System Contractors, Safety Consultants, and Insurance Risk Assessors.
NFPA Standards-Based Design: Tools for designing networks according to the latest editions of NFPA 13, NFPA 20, and other relevant global standards.
Graphical Network Modeling: Intuitive graphical interface for easy drag-and-drop drawing of piping networks, fittings, sprinklers (various K-factors), and water supplies.
Advanced Hydraulic Calculation Engine: Performs rigorous hydraulic calculations using the Hazen-Williams equation, balancing flows and pressures throughout complex systems, including tree, loop, and grid layouts.
Demand & Supply Analysis: Automatically determines the system’s water demand (Design Area) and compares it with available water supply from tanks, pumps, city mains, or fire department connections (FDC).
Pump Selection & Sizing: Integrates with pump curves to select and verify fire pumps (electric, diesel, jockey) that meet the calculated system demand.
Comprehensive Reporting: Generates detailed calculation reports, hydraulic gradient diagrams, material schedules, and submission-ready documentation for authority review.
This update focuses on enhanced standards support and workflow improvements.
Updated Standards Library: Includes the latest amendments to NFPA 13 (2022 Edition) and support for additional regional standards.
Improved BIM Integration: Enhanced data exchange capabilities with Revit and other BIM platforms for smoother import/export of piping layouts.
Streamlined UI & Project Management: Redesigned project dashboard and faster tools for editing large networks and managing multiple design scenarios.
Cloud Backup & Sync (Optional): New optional feature to store and sync project files securely in the cloud for team collaboration.
