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 fluids referenced in Crane's Technical Paper #410, Flow of Fluids through Valves, Fittings, and Pipe.  The second is the heat transfer fluids available from the DOW Chemical Company.  Third is a table for average salinity 3.5% Seawater.These tables can be installed by clicking the installers below.

The Crane hydrocarbon fluids include the following:

32_6 deg API Crude – 32.6ºF API Crude, American Petroleum Institute
35_6 deg API Crude – 35.6ºF API Crude, American Petroleum Institute
40 deg API Crude – 40ºF API Crude, American Petroleum Institute
48 deg API Crude – 48ºF API Crude, American Petroleum Institute
Bunker C Fuel – dense viscous blend of heavy No.6 residual oils and lighter fuel oil
Fuel 3 Max – No. 3 fuel oil, light distillate fuel oil, type of diesel
Fuel 5 Min – No. 5 fuel oil, heavy residual fuel oil
Fuel 6 Min – No. 6 fuel oil, heavy residual fuel oil
Gasoline – fractional distillate of petroleum, commonly used as automobile fuel
Kerosene – fractional distillate of petroleum, commonly used as a heating oil or jet propulsion
MC Residuum
Natural Gasoline – liquid extractive of natural gas
SAE 10 Lube – viscosity grade 10 lubrication oil, Society of Automotive Engineers
SAE 30 Lube – viscosity grade 30 lubrication oil, Society of Automotive Engineers
SAE 70 Lube – viscosity grade 70 lubrication oil, Society of Automotive Engineers
Salt Creek Crude – light crude oil

Note:  Beginning with version 2007a of PIPE-FLO Professional, these Crane fluid tables are included with the program installation.
