PIPE-FLO Compressible 2007 has many new features to streamline the program operation and increase the presentation value of the piping system model. With PIPE-FLO Compressible 2007 you can:

• Size Flow Meters & Balancing Orifices

• Customize the Displays to Meet Your Needs

• Isometric Grids & Smart Text

• Copy & Paste Between Projects

• Create Custom Device Symbols

Size Flow Meters & Balancing Orifices

The sizing of flow meters and balancing orifices have been fully integrated into PIPE-FLO Compressible 2007. Now you insert a meter into the system, enter the meter's design parameters, calculate the system, and PIPE-FLO Compressible 2007 can size the meter. PIPE-FLO Compressible 2007 factors the non-recoverable pressure losses for the meter into all PIPE-FLO calculations.

Now you can quickly design flow meters and balancing orifices and see how they effect the operation of the fluid piping system.

Customize the Displays to Meet Your Needs

With PIPE-FLO Compressible 2007 you can customize the information displayed on the FLO-Sheet (the piping schematic) as well as the Fly-By Viewer. Now you can choose what information is important to you and view it when you need it.

With PIPE-FLO Compressible 2007 you can also change the size and color of text displayed on the piping schematic. In addition the engineering units can be displayed on the piping schematic.

You can customize the information displayed on the piping schematic and on the fly-by viewer.

Isometric Grids & Smart Text

You now have the option of creating your piping system model as an isometric drawing. Using PIPE-FLO's “isometric grids” and the “snap to grids” features, you can create a professional looking drawing quickly. PIPE-FLO Compressible 2007's new Smart Text feature always aligns the text with the associated object.

When in the isometric drawing mode, PIPE-FLO Compressible 2007 automatically skews the shapes to give it that isometric look.

The isometric drawing provides spatial awareness for everyone familiar with the piping system. Professional looking piping isometrics can be created easily using the new isometric drawing features of PIPE-FLO Compressible 2007.

Copy & Paste Between Projects

You can now use the copy / paste feature between piping system models. Using this feature you can break up larger system into smaller parts for easier analysis, or merge multiple piping systems into a single large model. Copy all or part of a system from one project file to another.

With the improved copy/paste command you can add a system expansion to an existing piping system model.

Create Custom Device Symbols

PIPE-FLO Compressible 2007 comes with ESI Symbol Editor so you can create your own custom shapes to meet your customer's needs. You can also create industry specific shapes to increase the value of the piping schematic. Create your own symbols for compressors, blowers, control valves, and other components.

Create your custom shapes to match look and feel of the blocks used in your CAD program. That way when PIPE-FLO exports the piping schematic to your CAD system you don't need to make any changes.

Using the ESI Symbol Editor, you can quickly create custom shapes for each item found in a piping system model. Since custom shapes are automatically inserted into the piping system model everyone will be able to view your drawing exactly the way you made it.
