Fluid Table Listing
Engineered Software, in conjunction with fluid manufacturers and users, has created a number of Fluid Tables that can be downloaded for immediate use with PIPE-FLO, PUMP-FLO, and Flow of Fluids software. There are two groups of fluid tables available for download. The first is the hydrocarbon ...
Pipe Table Listing
Engineered Software, in conjunction with pipe manufacturers and users, has created a number of Pipe Tables that can be downloaded for immediate use with PIPE-FLO software. Click on the Pipe Tables Installer below to download these tables. Here is a list of the tables which will be downloaded: A ...
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 ...
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 ...
Default Pipe and Fluid Tables
These are the default pipe and fluid tables that are included when you download PIPE-FLO Professional and Flow of Fluids. To download additional tables, see the related articles. Fluid Tables 32_6 deg API Crude 35_6 deg API Crude 40 deg API Crude 48 deg API Crude Air Bunker C Fuel Fue ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
