1. Pipe Table Listing
   Engineered Software, in conjunction with pipe manufacturers and users, has created a number of Pipe Tables that can be used with PIPE-FLO and Flow of Fluids software. 18 tables included in the default installation of the programs, and more can be downloaded for instant use. Click on the Pipe Tab ...
2. Fluid Table Listing
   Engineered Software, in conjunction with fluid manufacturers and users, has created a number of Fluid Tables. The default fluids install with engineered software products (PIPE-FLO, PUMP-FLO and Flow of Fluids,) including Air, Steam, Water and the hydrocarbon fluids referenced in Crane's Technic ...
3. Engineering Data Tables Overview
   PIPE-FLO uses engineering data tables to look up or calculate pipe sizes, fluid properties, and valve coefficients. The use of engineering data tables speeds up data entry, and ensures everyone in the design team is using the same information. PIPE-FLO's open design allows you to load the engine ...
4. Adding fluid property data
   If a fluid is not available in an engineering data table, you have two options: (1) Create your own table using Table Manager. (2) Create a custom fluid by manually entering the fluid properties. Option 1: Creating a table with Table Manager If you have a set of property data for your fluid, you ...
5. Acentric Factor in Fluid Tables
   When creating a liquid/vapor or vapor only fluid table, one of the items you may have to specify is the acentric factor. The acentric factor is only specified when you are entering a fluid table with vapor properties. It is not required for liquid only tables. The acentric factor is used in th ...
6. Creating Fluid Tables
   You can create your own Fluid Tables to use with PIPE-FLO Programs. An extensive set of Fluid Tables is available for use with PIPE-FLO. Refer to the related article entitled "Fluids Compilation". The Table Manager program (supplied with PIPE-FLO) can be used to create additional custom fluid t ...
7. Fluids Compilation
   Engineered Software and Molecular Knowledge Systems (MKS) have formed a strategic alliance to provide PIPE-FLO customers with the most advanced fluid property data. The MKS Fluids Compilation is detailed physical property data for over 770 process chemicals and industrial fluids for use by FLO-S ...
8. Natural Gas
   Since the composition of natural gas can vary, it is not one of the fluid tables that is included with PIPE-FLO. Users who are analyzing natural gas systems may want to consider using the methane table as described below if they do not have actual fluid data available. Users who are analyzing ...
9. Customizing Pipe Tables
   Extending supplied pipe tables: PIPE-FLO uses the name of the pipe table file as the pipe material name. If you require additional sizes to be added to the supplied pipe tables, make a copy of the table (see method below) with a different name, then make your changes to the copy. This will i ...
10. NFPA Valves and Fittings Tables
    When using the Hazen-Williams method, the most accurate way to account for resistance due to valves and fittings is to add an equivalent length for the valve or fitting to the pipe length. Using this method and the NFPA 15 Standard, we created valves and fittings tables for two common pipe mat ...
11. User Defined Fluid Pressure
    PIPE-FLO uses fluid zones to allow the customer to define the fluid properties that are used in various calculations that the program performs. When using an installed fluid table, the customer enters the fluid temperature and pressure in the Fluid Zone dialog box and the program will determine ...
