Flow analysis software used to design, optimize, troubleshoot and simulate the operation of piping systems of any size or configuration. PIPE-FLO provides a total picture of the piping system including the flow and pressures in
pipelines, along with the interaction of pumps, control valves, and flow
meters.
PIPE-FLO products are used worldwide in a variety of applications
throughout many industries including HVAC, fire sprinkler, wastewater
collection and treatment, mining, ultra-pure water, chemical processing,
power generation, pulp & paper and general industrial.

Estimated 15,000+ current users worldwide.
Audience
Chemical, consulting, energy, mechanical and architectural engineers
working for manufacturing. Utilities companies and research universities
and research laboratories.
Input
Pipe or duct specifications, and components (pipes, fittings, pumps, valves, etc.) are drawn and entered into the graphical user interface. Fluid specifications available in catalog but user defined fluid option available.
Output
Tabular and graphical output of over 100 calculated variables.
Computer Platform
PC with Windows 98/2000/XP/Vista
Programming Language
C++
Strengths
More than 60 manufacturer's pump catalogs available for integration with
the software. Easy to use and familiar graphical interface to design and
calculate quickly and accurately. No system size limit. Complete
representation of pump behavior with efficiency and NPSHA allowing users
to size and select pumps based on their efficiency or preference and
explore other possible energy efficient pumping designs with variable
speed pump drives.
Weaknesses
Software only models steady-state flows, and should not be used for two-phase flows.
