The following customer testimonials are just an example of what users are saying about the FLO-SERIES. These professionals are currently using the FLO-SERIES for vision and solutions for even the most complex fluid piping systems.

PIPE-FLO Professional

• “We were working on project at a large Veterans Administration Medical Center and we modeled their system in PIPE-FLO. In analyzing the data from the program, we could tell that the tertiary pumps were unnecessary. They had a series of Variable Speed Drive pumps that were simply idling because they were not needed. We were able to take three pumps out of the system, saving our clients both energy and maintenance costs.”
  - Ted B. Schendt, P.E. and Principal of Schendt Engineering
• "Using the lineup feature I can keep the model consistent throughout each scenario. The more complex the system, the more scenarios I create. I may create up to 20 scenarios for an extremely complicated system. This could include the existing situation, along with buildings that are scheduled to be erected in 5, 10 or even 15 years down the road. I can look at the addition of each phase and understand how it will affect the current system. You really couldn’t do this type of network analysis by hand in any reasonable amount of time. You would have to make some pretty big assumptions. You can’t do a comprehensive evaluation without PIPE-FLO. We simply wouldn’t do it any other way."
  - Jeffery N. Bolander, D.Eng, P.E. and Vice President at Shah Smith & Associates
• "Finally, a credible and useful hydraulic model that supports intelligent systems management and planning."
  - Dave Rogers, Rogers & Associates
• "I use PIPE-FLO Professional to modify and improve many complex systems for my clients. PIPE-FLO Professional is exceptionally great for troubleshooting existing systems in order to identify the source of the problem. The program reduces time wasted from hand calculations by at least 90-95%. I have tremendous confidence in the results. The program’s interface is also very easy to use, my entire staff can use it!"
  - Joseph Solomon Jr., Genesis SEA Inc. Philadelphia, PA
• "PIPE-FLO is a joy to operate from an ease-of-use standpoint. It is much quicker and much easier than using a spreadsheet. Many decades ago, when I was first getting into hydraulic analysis, I was hopeful that somebody could create the ideal program to meet the needs of engineers. I have found that ideal program in PIPE-FLO."
  - Daniel Parker, President, Parker Messana & Associates
• “I’ve been using PIPE-FLO to calculate line sizing and perform pressure drops for over 3 years. Before PIPE-FLO we were using spreadsheets and the process was painful. It was both difficult and time consuming and the results were only best-estimates. What would have taken a full day to calculate using our spreadsheet we can do in an hour or two in PIPE-FLO. And best of all, you do not need to question the accuracy. PIPE-FLO provides accurate results in a fraction of the time.”
  - Nelson Chan, P.E., Sales Engineering & Proposal Manager, QuestAir Technologies
• "If we would have pressed on without analyzing with PIPE-FLO Professional, the system most likely would not have worked. It saved significant costs - probably several hundred thousand dollars at a project level."
  - Jim Hutt, Technical Associate, E.I. Dupont deNemours & Co.
• "PIPE-FLO Professional ties together the concept of hydraulic systems from piping to pumps to controls. It gives a system approach to piping analysis without having to use two or three different tools. With PIPE-FLO Professional I can see directly what my results are, quickly modify the system, and easily perform multiple 'what if' types of analyses."
  - Jim Vinson, Technical Fellow, Rohm and Haas
• "Before PIPE-FLO we would never have even tried to balance the flows in the network. It would have taken valuable time, and there is also a problem with accuracy. In fact, I don’t even know if we could have done it manually. We would have spent capital money to save engineering time. The program is very easy to use. Using the copy and paste feature is a huge timesaver. The colors make it very easy to see what is going on. After we run the calculation, if we see a red or blue line, we know we have a problem. It is great for troubleshooting and reaffirming what we are doing."
  - John Pietranski, Engineer, Great Lakes Chemical Corporation
• "An enormous advantage is the speed in which 'what if' situations can be calculated for during preliminary designs. The time required is a fraction as compared to manual calculations, but more important, the system can be analyzed to a point that is not realistically possible using manual methods. I have used PIPE-FLO on hundreds of projects over the past 15 years, and I have been able to save time and money by accomplishing what couldn’t be done manually or with spreadsheets."
  - Pat Dugan, Chief Engineer, M3 Phoenix

PIPE-FLO Compressible

• "We have used PIPE-FLO Compressible on some very complex emergency relief header systems. The program has saved us countless hours in sizing and verification of multiple emergency relief scenarios, and the accuracy of the analysis is much better than our previous methods. We can now do a very thorough analysis in less time than ever before. Also, since we currently use PIPE-FLO Professional, we were able to integrate the two programs together for all our hydraulic analysis needs."
  - William O. Green, P.E. Senior Vice President, Industrial Process Division of RMH Group, Inc.
• "The addition of the PIPE-FLO Compressible program extends the capabilities of the PIPE-FLO Professional module to provide accurate analysis of compressible fluids. This program has been used for new and retrofit project designs and has proven to deliver very accurate results when compared with actual field measurements. The graphical interface aids in model input as well as output presentation for reports and client presentations. Program solution speeds exceed that of considered competitive products by as much as hours, with total solution times of less than 20 minutes for many complicated network flow analyses. Intermediate approximate results can be viewed in only a few minutes to aid in rapid ‘what-if’ designing. We have successfully used the compressible fluids program for the design of industrial dust collection network systems, as well as both high and low pressure air distribution and vacuum systems."
  - Frank Porbeck, P.E., President Porbeck Engineering Corporation

PIPE-FLO Stock

• "The accuracy built into PIPE-FLO Professional is present in PIPE-FLO Stock. It uses tried and true methods for paper stock pressure drop calculations. New users can come up to speed quickly and become productive very easily. The folks at Engineered Software have worked hard to develop a package that is useable on a daily basis."
  - Terry L. Gatlin, Engineer, Harris Group Inc.

PUMP-FLO

• "We use PUMP-FLO with pump selection and pricing software from Goulds and Gorman Rupp. We are also beginning to use it extensively for our internal pump configuration programs to improve our customer response time."
  - Lou Kuffel, Beckwith Kuffel Co.
• "Last week, I had some users request pump curves, with viscosity corrections. With PUMP-FLO it's instantaneous. If I had to do them by hand I'd still be at it. No matter what it costs, it's worth it!"
  - Bob Braun, Lewis Pumps

PIPE-FLO SDK

• "Using the PIPE-FLO SDK let us concentrate on the problem we were trying to solve because we didn’t have to invent our own tool. The set-up is simple. Procedures are reliable and straightforward. PIPE-FLO is the engine, our program starts the engine. Without the PIPE-FLO SDK, the cost of the project would have been so great that we would have scrapped it in the design phase"
  - Kevin J. Reynolds, Senior Marine Engineer, The Glosten Associates

TechNet Plus

• "I want to thank you even further for evaluating my piping system. I have to be honest and admit that I "threw it over the fence" and into your lap at the end of my workday. Thank you for your detailed analysis!"
  - Brian Thompson, Senior Process Engineer, Countrymark Cooperative, LLP
