4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides essential fluid mechanics calculations for process plant engineering. It allows AI agents to design efficient piping systems by determining optimal diameters using calculate_pipe_diameter, calculating total energy losses via calculate_pressure_drop, and determining required pump energy with calculate_pump_head. It also includes validate_system_constraints to ensure designs meet safety and operational limits regarding velocity and pressure.

4 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

calculate_pipe_diameter

Determines the required internal diameter of a pipe to handle a specific flow rate while staying within velocity limits

calculate_pressure_drop

Calculates the total pressure loss across a specific length of pipe including all components

calculate_pump_head

Determines the total head (energy) a pump must provide to overcome all system resistances and elevation changes

validate_system_constraints

Checks if a designed system meets safety and operational limits

What is the required pipe diameter for a flow rate of 0.5 m3/s, fluid density of 1000 kg/m3, and a target velocity of 2 m/s?

The required internal diameter is 0.63 meters, with a resulting velocity of 2.0 m/s and a Reynolds number of 1.25e5.

Calculate the pressure drop for a 50m pipe with a 0.2m diameter, 0.1 m3/s flow rate, 1000 kg/m3 density, 0.001 Pa·s viscosity, and 0.000045 roughness, including 2 elbows.

The total pressure drop is 12450 Pa, consisting of 11200 Pa in major losses and 1250 Pa in minor losses.

How much pump head is needed for a 5000 Pa pressure drop and a 10m elevation increase with a fluid density of 1000 kg/m3?

The total dynamic head required is 1.49 meters.

You can calculate the required pipe diameter, the total pressure drop (including major and minor losses), the required pump head, and validate if the system meets safety constraints.
