PIPE-FLO® Compressible 2007 Is Here!
Engineered Software, Inc., is proud to announce
the release of PIPE-FLO® Compressible 2007, the software for designing
and simulating the operation of steam and gas piping systems. The newly
released Compressible 2007 includes major upgrades from Compressible
2005. TechNet Subscribers can download their free upgrade
today by going
here.
These improvements allow the user to visualize, calculate, communicate
and access information in one easy-to-use program. Two of the major
functionality improvements in Compressible 2007 are the ability
to quickly size flow meters and balancing orifice and insert them into a
system in a single step, as well as customize the information displayed
on the piping schematic and on the convenient Fly-By Viewer.

Don’t forget, with the release of the PIPE-FLO® Compressible 2007, all
legacy versions of the software older than version 2005 are no longer
supported. If you have a version that is 2005 or older, we are
still offering upgrade value for a limited time only. If you would
like to upgrade to the latest version of PIPE-FLO® Compressible 2007,
you have until the end of August.
PIPE-FLO Feature of the Month
Creating Custom Shapes with the ESI Symbol Editor
The
ESI Symbol Editor is a tool for creating custom device symbols for use
in Engineered Software's line of piping design software programs. Every
device on the FLO-Sheet is represented by a symbol that indicates what
kind of device it is.
Example devices include tanks, pumps, components, flow controls, flow
meters, valves and fittings, as well as others. However, because a
single FLO-Sheet device might describe a number of different pieces of
equipment, it is sometimes convenient to use different symbols
for the same general device type. To handle this need, the piping
software often provides a list of standard symbols that may be chosen
for each device type.
As an example, consider a system that contains both open atmosphere and
pressurized fluid tanks. The system designer can choose to represent
these tanks with different symbols so that it is easy to tell at a
glance which tanks are which. The Symbol Editor takes this capability a
step further by allowing you to create specific symbols for any
device type in your system.
For more information on how to DRAW, SAVE, and USE custom shapes check out the Knowledge Base article 1468, Creating Custom Shapes in ESI Symbol Editor click here for Article 1468.

Training Opportunity
Pump Training from an Industry Expert
Pumps are an integral part of your industry. Yet engineers, operators, and maintenance technicians are seldom fully trained to handle the pump problems they encounter daily. A good understanding of proper pump application, selection, operation, troubleshooting, and maintenance are vital to the success of your company. Now you can learn everything you need to know about pumps at a three-day training course offered by noted Consultant and Author, Michael Volk, P.E.
Volk has been a consultant on pumps for the past 25 years, and has worked in engineering and operations with one of the world’s leading pump manufacturers. He authored Pump Characteristics and Applications, a highly acclaimed pump applications handbook. Volk has taught hundreds of pump courses worldwide, including the most successful course ever held at the prestigious International Pump Users Symposium for the last ten years.
Classes are for engineers, maintenance technicians, pump sales and applications personnel, and will be held:
• October 17 – 19, 2007 in San Diego, CA.
