CONTROL VALVES * FLOW ELEMENTS * RELIEF DEVICES * PROCESS DATA
InstruCalc 9.0 calculates the size of control valves, fl ow elements
and relief devices and calculates fl uid properties, pipe pressure loss
and liquid waterhammer fl ow. Easy to use and accurate, it is the only
sizing program you need, enabling you to: size more than 50 diff erent
instruments; calculate process data at fl ow conditions for 54 fl uids, in
either mixtures or single components, and 66 gases; and calculate the
orifi ce size, fl owrate or diff erential range, which enables the user to
select the fl owrate with optimum accuracy.
Updates include Engineering Standard Upgrades and
Operational Improvements in InstruCalc Version 9.0
