Engineered Software, Inc. Releases PIPE-FLO Professional 2009

By DE Editors

Engineered Software, Inc. (Lacey, WA)  announced PIPE-FLO Professional 2009 which includes a new look, new features,  and improvements such as an operating cost calculator, customizable FLO-Sheets,  and control valve rapid entry.

The PIPE-FLO product line 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. PIPE-FLO is different from other software of this type because of the integration with the pump selection tool PUMP-FLO. This allows system designers to specify and select exactly which pump would work best in their piping system from over 100 actual pump manufacturer catalogs.

The biggest improvement for piping system designers is the Operating Cost Calculator, used to determine pump operating costs over a defined period.

Many of the new features provide users with the ability to personalize and customize the FLO-Sheet and Reports. In prior versions, adding company logos was not a built in feature. The trend is for companies to have a presentable, easy-to-read,  system model that can add value to the entire project.

New features include operating Cost Calculator, Control Valve Rapid Entry, Valve Operation Controls, Atmospheric Pressure Calculator, FLO-Sheet Improvements,  Report Improvements, Presentation Mode, Copy and Paste Improvements, and new Device Symbols.
