New Calculators include, flow through orifices and nozzles, pump power, gas volume density and more.
Lacey, WA—Flow of Fluids has released a new website with free online engineering calculator tools. The www.flowoffluids.com website has been revamped to coincide with the upcoming release of a new edition of the Crane Technical Paper No. 410 (TP410). In all, seven new engineering calculators are now available with additional calculators planned in the immediate future.
"This website is the perfect companion to the TP410," says Ray Hardee, P.E., Chief Engineer at Engineered Software, Inc.
"We have been planning to provide a tool like this to our software customers for use online, particularly for quick calculations of complex theories, like Head Loss or Pump Power. Both the new website calculators and the Flow of Fluids software are based on the theories and equations in the Technical Paper 410, so they are a perfect companion to the new edition of the book."
Interest in the online calculators has already seen a spike with the unveiling of the website at the Valve World Asia 2009 Conference in Suzhou, China, where representatives from both Engineered Software and Crane Co. met with the public this past week.

A tour of the new website and online tools reveal references to pages in the TP-410, the book the equations are based on, as well as handy links to user preference page. The preference page is accessible only by logging in by creating a new login or using their previous login from either the Engineered Software website or previous Flow of fluids website. User preferences allow users to be alerted to updates to the calculator list and any possible Errata made to the TP410, in addition to other news.
"The plan is that this new remodeled website will be a reference tool that people will want to come back to and use on a regular basis," says Michael Blondin, Chief Operating Officer at Engineered Software, Inc.
"Our intent was that a person would use the website to make the calculations that they found in their copy of the TP410, and have your own customized results every time. We also understand that some of our Flow of Fluids software users do not always have access to their software license, and this gives them a way to make a quick, accurate calculation that they have come to expect from their Flow of Fluids software."
New Calculators include, flow through orifices and nozzles, pump power, gas volume density and more. The Head Loss calculator allow visitors to the site to determine Head Loss in a pipeline while computing Reynolds Numbers, friction factors and pressure drop through the pipe.
Provided is a calculator that converts between the Resistance Coefficient into either the US Flow Coefficient or the Metric Coefficient. The new website is also equipped with a Unit Converter calculator, that converts results for Dynamic Viscosity, Flow Coefficient, Length, Mass, Mass Density, Mass Flow, Power, Pressure, Specific Gas Constant, Specific Volume, Temperature, Volumetric Flow or Volume.
New Calculators Available:
- Pipeline Head Loss.
- Resistance Coefficient (K), US Flow Coefficient (Cv) or metric Flow Coefficient (Kv). Conversion.
- Flow Through Orifices.
- Flow Through Nozzles.
- Pump Power.
- Gas Volume & Density.
- Unit Converters.
