Knowing how to use a tool effectively separates the skilled craftsman from the worker. PIPE-FLO is easy to use, but like any comprehensive software tool, there are tools and tips that the basic tutorial cannot cover. There are program features that will save you loads of time while providing a clearer picture of how your piping system operates. In our FLO-Master Seminars, our instructors demonstrate a step-by-step approach to use with PIPE-FLO on your next piping project.

After attending a FLO-Master Seminar, you will be able to take advantage of the latest program features, build your system models faster, and tackle the most complex fluid piping project. We also provide case studies, and demonstrate how you can use PIPE-FLO to design a more efficient piping system.

The two-day seminar provides you with a detailed understanding of how piping systems operate. By simulating the interaction of pipelines, pumps, components and controls throughout the system, you will gain a greater knowledge of piping system devices and how they operate as a system.

With this course, you will receive a 200+ page full color course manual, a valuable future resource! This is the ONLY authorized guidebook available on PIPE-FLO and it contains so much more. Click on the image to see a preview of the chapters and topics covered in the FLO-Master Training Manual, and course. We've also included a chapter in the preview so you can see just what you will learn.

FLO-Master Seminars will help you:

Build a PIPE-FLO model of your piping system in less time.
Understand fluid flow theory to gain an understanding of the total piping system.
Increase your proficiency in the use of PIPE-FLO and become a valued resource to your company.
Spend less time learning how to use the software and more time evaluating piping projects.
Maximize the use of PIPE-FLO's program features and increase your productivity.

The objective of FLO-Master seminars is to provide the skills needed to effectively utilize Flow of Fluids analysis software. Our emphasis is on demonstrating a step-by-step approach that will enable you to design, analyze, and troubleshoot fluid piping systems. Each attendee has use of a computer to gain hands-on experience in using PIPE-FLO (expanded version of Flow of Fluids software) to model a variety of typical piping system.

Is this training right for me?

FLO-Master Seminars are ideal for those using the Flow of Fluids and PIPE-FLO program to design, build, operate, and maintain fluid piping systems. For over eighteen years, professionals involved in piping projects have benefited from the FLO-Master Seminars. Both new and experienced PIPE-FLO and Flow of Fluids users will gain from this class because it is as much about piping system operation as it is about the software. Attendees from all skill levels are invited to attend, and we guarantee you will learn something new.
