Molecor© improves new functionalities
in the TOM® Mechanical Calculation
Program
Molecor©, worldwide leader company in the
development and commercialization of TOM®
PVC Oriented (PVC-O) pipes for pressure
water, is committed to the development and
continuous implementation of technical tools
to support its collaborators, this innovative
application has improved new functionalities
in the TOM® Mechanical Calculation Program
“tomcalculation.com”.

de los tubos a utilizar en conducciones con y sin
presión sometidos a cargas externas”.

The user disposes a personalized platform to create
his own projects and associated calculations. The
tool becomes a functional, simple and interactive
application to the user.

The introduction of values in the application is
intuitive, obtaining a full report with the results of
all the calculations, validating in this way the most
suitable pipe for the specific conditions of each
installation.

It is important to perform the mechanical
calculation of buried pipelines in order to assess
the mechanical stress transmitted to the pipe by
the action of the different external loads so the
mechanical calculations of the TOM® Pipesshould
be done before projecting the installation.

The application gives as results the different forces
that TOM® Pipes will withstand, as well as their
breaking and compression safety coefficients,
based on the reference standards: ATV-DVWK-A
127E:2000 “Static Calculation of Drains and Sewers”
and UNE 53331:1997 “Tuberías de poli(cloruro de
vinilo) no plastificado y polietileno (PE) de alta y
media densidad. Criterio para la comprobación

It supplements the original functionalities with a
new section “Changes for validation”.
If the results obtained in the report do not satisfy
the conditions of the selected safety coefficients,
or the pipe’s maximum admissible deformation,
the application offers the possibility of changing
