Manage the entire fluid system lifecycle with the engineering standard pipe flow analysis software.
With intuitive interfaces, interactive tools, and powerful features, this software allows you to simulate and analyze complex fluid flow phenomena with precision and efficiency. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced engineer, our fluid simulation software will help you gain a deep understanding of fluid dynamics and optimize your designs with confidence.
PIPE-FLO offers a user-friendly experience for building and visualizing fluid systems. Its intuitive piping schematic drawing interface, known as the FLO-Sheet, mirrors familiar Process and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), streamlining the modeling process. Users can easily construct detailed representations of their piping networks by placing components from a comprehensive library, including pipes, valves, and pumps. The software intelligently handles the creation of interconnecting pipelines and facilitates the seamless import of component data, significantly simplifying the initial setup and ensuring an accurate graphical representation of the fluid system.
At its core, PIPE-FLO provides robust and accurate hydraulic calculations essential for effective fluid system analysis. Leveraging a strong mathematical foundation, the software precisely determines flow rates, pressure drops, and other critical hydraulic parameters throughout complex piping networks, including those with multiple branches and loops. This capability extends to the analysis of pumps, calculating Total Dynamic Head (TDH) and Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH), as well as control valves, providing key design point values. The inclusion of an extensive fluid property database further enhances the accuracy of these simulations across a wide range of applications.
