July 23, 2001—Washington-based Engineered Software Inc. has released the MKS Fluids Compilation — a software program containing physical property values for more than 550 process chemicals and industrial fluids. Each fluid file contains parameterized equations that compute values for density, viscosity, vapor pressure, and heat capacity over wide ranges of temperatures and pressures.
The Fluids Compilation is shipped with Engineered Software’s PIPE-FLO program to significantly enhance the program’s fluid data capabilities. The Fluids Compilation will benefit users in the chemical and industrial process industries who design, analyze, and troubleshoot fluid piping systems.
“Having accurate fluid property data is vital when performing any fluid calculation,” says Ray Hardee, president of Engineered Software. “For example when selecting a pump, if the process fluid’s vapor pressure and viscosity are not accurately known, the selected pump may not be able to meet the system requirements. With over 550 fluids shipped with PIPE-FLO, accurate fluid property data is now only a mouse click away.”
