Engineered Software, Inc.’s PIPE-FLO Professional 2009 software program has 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 enables 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, according to the company. The solution 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 Operating Cost Calculator, used to determine pump operating costs over a defined period, lets users choose their systems’ configuration, select their time frame and energy costs per unit, and can compare different lineup options. This new tool provides a way to see how much operating costs would change if an alteration were made to the systems design, without having to physically make changes to the system.For a product demo, visit: http://www.eng-software.com/demo/.
