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

• Draw the piping schematic in a 2-D or isometric format
• Create your own custom shapes for pumps, tanks, components and control valves
• Copy and paste between piping system models
• Size a flow meter or balancing orifice and insert it into the piping system in a single step
• View your results instantly using the new AutoCalc feature
• Establish a two way link between PIPE-FLO Professional and Microsoft^® Excel^®
• Customize the results on the FLO-Sheet and fly-by viewer
• Change the system’s fluid properties in a lineup

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. Using the new Smart Text feature, PIPE-FLO always aligns the text with the associated object.

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 2007.

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

Create Custom Shapes

PIPE-FLO 2007 comes with Shape 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.


Using the shape 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.

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.

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.


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

The copy paste command now works like your Windows CAD program allowing you to perform multiple inserts with a single mouse click.

Size Flow Meters & Balancing Orifices

The sizing of flow meters and balancing orifices have been fully integrated into PIPE-FLO 2007. Now you insert a meter into the system, enter the meter's design parameters, and PIPE-FLO sizes the meter and insert the device into the piping system model. PIPE-FLO then 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.

See Results Faster With AutoCalc

With the new AutoCalc feature when you make a change to a piping system model, PIPE-FLO Professional automatically performs the calculations and displays the results. This is a real timesaver, no more clicking on the Calculator button to perform the calculations and display the results; then clicking on the calculator button to clear the results and edit the model.

Link PIPE-FLO to Excel^®

Most engineers have developed Excel^® spreadsheets to automate the design process. Using the new X-link feature you can create spreadsheets to automatically read design information from the piping system model; in addition the spreadsheet can automatically update information in the piping system model.

Customize the Displays to Meet Your Needs

With PIPE-FLO 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.


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

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

Change Fluid Zones in a Lineup

The fluid temperature in piping system can vary based on the operation of the piping system. With PIPE-FLO Professional 2007 you can vary the fluid temperature in a fluid zone based on a lineup. Now you can quickly see how the piping system will operate when starting up a cold system, and then see how it operates when the system is at its normal operating temperature.


By changing the fluid zones in a PIPE-FLO lineup you can quickly see how the system operation varies with different fluid temperatures.
