ESI Helps Crane Update TP410, New Edition 2009
The engineering team from Engineered Software has been working diligently with the Crane Fluid Handling lead team on an update to Crane's Technical Paper No. 410 (TP410). The technical resource originally developed in 1942, updated several times since then has now undergone a major revision.
The new edition has significant improvements to image and graphs as well as additional chapters on areas such as Pumps, Control Valves and Flow Meters. This release also marks the inclusion of online calculators for many of the nomographs on the companion website www.flowoffluids.com.
Corrections and updates to equations have been made, providing the industry with the latest advancements in fluid flow calculations and theories.
Things you might not know about the TP410:
• In 1855, founder R. T. Crane, begins his focus on the industrial area of fluid control
• Much of the content was originally created in 1935 and published as "Flow of Fluids and Heat Transmission"
• It wasn't introduced in its current format as the TP410 until 1957

The Hydraulic Institute and Pump Systems Matter have created a new Pump System Optimization training and Engineered Software is making it available to you.
Learn why efficient pumping systems are important, how you can develop an Action Plan and how to conduct basic life cycle cost analyses.
See Course Content here.
Pumping System Optimization seminar is one day and worth 7 Professional Development Hours.
See what materials are included with your purchase.
Currently this class is offered on an “AS REQUESTED” basis. The CHEM SHOW has offered to host for one-time only, on
Wednesday, November 18, 2009, during the show.
Full schedules are available

Ask an Engineer
Q. I occasionally need to size an orifice or flow meter, but don’t always have access to a PIPE-FLO license, due to the nature of my job. Are you aware of any tools that can handle a calculation like this, preferably one that I could access online?
|
|
A. Yes on the newly remodeled Flow of Fluids website, you can find a calculator tool just for that problem.
In fact, there are six new calculators and a handy unit conversion calculator, all of which can be used free by anyone. Look in the Main Menu on the homepage of the Flow of Fluids website. Many of the equations can be found and explained in the new editions of the TP410.
Use the new calculators to:
• Perform single pipeline head loss calculations
• Determine Reynolds Numbers
• Convert Cv or Kv to K
• Size a variety of orifices and nozzles
• Determine pump power
• Calculate the weight density, specific volume, and molar mass for an ideal gas
More calculators are planned for release so check back often, or look in the monthly ESI e-News where all announcements are published.
If you have a general question about piping systems, pumps, or any theories related, send your question to solutions@eng-software.com with "Ask an Engineer" in the subject line. |

Training and the HI Fall Meeting! |
|
ESI representatives will be travelling to Itasca, Illinois for the Hydraulic Institute’s Fall Meeting next month.
ESI training staff will travel to Boise, ID for an onsite of the new Pumping System Optimization seminar.
Engineered Software representatives attended Valve World Asia with Crane Energy in Shanghai, China. While there, our reps helped announce the New 2009 edition of the TP410.
ESI also sent representatives to the Microsoft Campus in Redmond, WA for training on the latest release of Windows 7 from Microsoft, in preparation for the upcoming change in the popular operating system.
ESI will also be attending the 2009 Chem Show in New York during November. We are now
offering registration to the hosted Pump System Optimization Course taking place during the show. |
