SANHA’s RefHP fittings range is available for BIM and Revit

SANHA, German based manufacturer of piping systems has introduced its RefHP high-pressure fittings range that is accessible for the Building Information Modeling (BIM) Revit process.

Technical planners and engineers will be able to avail this data without any difficulty while planning refrigeration systems and rooms for fruit and vegetables or other commercial and industrial installations with CO2 transcritical systems.

All forms are preserved as a data record. Along with with auto-routing and auto-scaling functions, it allows to create practical visualisation and all-inclusive and time-saving planning, line layout and traceability.

From the plans created in this way, a material list is produced directly with a simple click of the mouse. The app includes all other SANHA systems and these are downloaded at free of cost.

The RefHP range comprises of soldering fittings in sizes from 3/8" to 2 1/8" and thus encompasses all requirements. The fittings are created with an extremely stable copper-iron alloy, which makes them perfect for increasing utilization in CO2 up to an operating pressure of 130 bar and in the temperature range from -196 to +150°C.

The fittings of the RefHP series can be associated with all common copper-iron pipes, like K65. With low-carbon content, the quality of the compound becomes superior. The corrosion-resistant material is also magnetic so that it can be recognized easily at jobsite.

CuFe fittings are defined with their lower weight and therefore it becomes easier to handle them easily at the construction site. Besides, the formation of a brazed joint is significantly easier and quicker as compared to traditional Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding.

The RefHP series have also successfully passed the UL 207 tests.

A free Revit and AutoCAD App is just launched for HVAC specialists

MEPcontent and Mitsubishi Electric jointly introduce a free Revit and AutoCAD App to allow HVAC specialists to discover appropriate Mitsubishi Electric articles for their projects.

To download MEPcontent App: the Mitsubishi Electric System Designer for Revit and AutoCAD, click on the following link. store.mepcontent.com

With this app, it becomes easier for MEP engineers, designers and modelers to discover, choose and configure entire Mitsubishi Electric heating and cooling systems inside a BIM project. Now, it is not required to leave your Revit or AutoCAD project with the built-in Mitsubishi Electric plugin. After downloading this free App, one can instantly access all Mitsubishi Electric products associated with cooling and heating systems.

Save time by exploring through article number, description, model or series and filter on technical properties like the nominal heating capacity. As soon as it is arranged in your model, it is possible to distribute product specific data like localized article numbers, GTIN or URL’s with purchasing- or management stakeholders. Directly order your essential Mitsubishi Electric products from inside the BIM project with an up-to-date Bill-Of-Materials.

The following product series are now accessible in the App: Mitsubishi Electric City Multi, Mitsubishi Electric Ecodan, Mitsubishi Electric E-series, Mitsubishi Electric Lossnay, Mitsubishi Electric Mr. Slim. This App will be continuously sustained and updated, with the updated product information, as well as with new functionalities to accelerate the designing process of HVAC systems. Later on, the App will be updated with the inclusion of functionality to draw piping and place fittings with exact sizes to easily join units.

Top five software to vectorize images efficiently

Vector images are formed with cursor-based draw operations which involve shapes like circles, rectangles, lines and curves (or freeform). These are formed by shifting the cursor or drawing a line and curve to a point with some control, then stroking or filling them for producing artwork.

However, in some cases, it is required to transform a specific image into a vector image, and here lies the importance of best software to vectorize images.

A bitmap image already contains a grid of pixels and color values, but it is possible to draw the similar image with various shapes and sequences of stroking and filling.

Given below, the detailed lists of the best software to vectorize images :-

Vextractor: This software is used to transform raster images like drawings or maps, and others like photo logos and illustrations to vector format.

The software saves the converted images to DXF, WMF, EMF, EPS, AI or SVG vector formats and these are imported to the most recognized vector graphics apps like Corel Draw, AutoCAD and Illustrator, among others.

Some of the features and tools comprise of scaling, scrolling, color selection, TWAIN support for importing images, automatic identification of lines and arcs or circles, transfer of color and black-and-white images for recognition, an in-built vector editor for editing vectorization results, Bezier splines for generating curves, and much more.

For more information, go through the following link www.vextrasoft.com

Inkscape: It is a free and open source vector graphics editor tool and contains features like photo or image and text editing tools, and compatibility with most graphic formats for instance SVG, PNG, WMF, PDF, among lots others.

It also highlights Bezier and Spiro curves, a robust text tool, and extensive file format compatibility.

WinTopo: It is a superior quality software for transforming image files in various formats like JPG, PNG, BMP, GIF or TIF, and scanned images to handy vector image files appropriate for CAD, GIS and CNC application.

It is available in two versions like Freeware, and Pro. Each of these versions includes one-touch vectorization, arc recognition, polyline smoothing and reduction, preview on options windows, automatic scaling, and numerous vector save formats. The pro version comprises of more advanced features like georeferencing, batch processing, negative and brightness options, fill holes, despeckle, and prune, among others.

Vector Magic: It is one of the most recognized vectorizer software and it is applied to transform bitmaps to vectors rapidly, and prepare your artwork printable, or embroider, cutting and more processes.

This tool facilitates you to automatically transform images to perfect SVG, EPS and PDF vectors online by uploading them, devoid of installing software.

For more information, go through the following link vectormagic.com

Vectorizer: It transforms raster images like PNG, BMP and JPEG to scalable vector graphics or SVG. To vectorize raster images, it is required to switch pixel color information to simple geometric objects.

Vector graphics are not dependent on pixels but on points, lines, and curves, which are called as primitives, demonstrated with mathematical expressions.

Vectorizer transforms these raster images retaining the quality graphics keeping them easily scalable and rotatable.
