Crane Flow of Fluids Premium Software version 2007 Released

PRLog (Press Release) – Feb 07, 2007 – The newest version of Flow of Fluids software has been released today. Flow of Fluids Premium software simulates the operation of small piping systems, and is the companion software to Crane’s Technical Paper 410. The newly released version contains significant improvements from its last release, Flow of Fluids Premium version 2005.

“If Crane’s TP410 is the quintessential guide for understanding flow of fluids through pipes, valves and fittings, then Flow of Fluids Premium Software is your way of designing, simulating and visualizing the whole system,” said Ray Hardee, P.E. and Chief Engineer at Engineered Software, Inc.

Flow of Fluids Premium calculates results for series, branching and looped systems whether opened or closed up to 25 pipelines. The program boasts the ability to select pumps directly from more than 85 manufacturers' supplied electronic pump catalogs. The newest features include key enhancements to new visual features such as, the option of creating piping system models as a 2-D or isometric drawing and a new Shape Editor where users can create custom shapes for pumps, tanks, components and control valves.
Other new capabilities include the ability to copy and paste between piping system models, size a flow meter or balancing orifice and insert it into the piping system in a single step, view results instantly using the new AutoCalc feature. Users can also customize their results on the FLO-Sheet and fly-by viewer, or change the system’s fluid properties in a lineup.
“When designing our software, we strive to provide users with customizing opportunities so their systems can be as accurate as possible while making their jobs easier,” Hardee added. “Flow of Fluids Premium is perfect for creating a professional looking presentation of your piping systems.”

Flow of Fluids software is used by designers and operators to gain a clear picture of their fluid piping systems. The program allows users to visualize their systems in a familiar format, calculate system operations, easily communicate the design with others and access supporting documents in electronic format.
