  • Upgrade table print function
    You can now export and save the calculation table as pdf-file also.
  • Rightless error message in function "Table column/change data of column" if you input the volume flow as norm volume flow.
  • Calculation of gases - Partly no or wrong update of the gas properties if you have select "Refres inlet pressure and gas properties/Refresh with data from database (real gas)" in menu "Settings".

No upgrade necessary.

  • In rare cases absurd calculation results:

In rare Windows 7 installations the software is not able to identify the decimal separator.

What to do: Reset of the Windows country settings
System control -> Region und language -> Date, time and number format -> Other settings...-> all tabs (Digits, currency, time, date) use the button "reset". You will get no changes, only the settings in Windows will be reset.

  • New: User database for circular pipes
    This database you can use for data (diameter, wall thickness, roughness) of your "own" pipes. If you want calculate such a pipe you can select it from the database and calculate the pressure drop.
  • New compilation for optimal function with Windows 7
  • New functions:
    Calculation of resistance coefficients of special parts:
    * Y-Pipe (branch flowing together)
    * T-Pipe (branch flowing together)
    * T-Pipe with partition wall (branch flowing together)
    * T-Pipe with band (branch flowing together)
    * Multiple branches flowing together symmetrical
  • Calculation of pipes in turbulent range:
     In addition to Brandtl-Colebrook and Blasius/Nikuradse/Karman/Moody you can use the formula from Churchill also.

File errors
  • File error after saving and copying of tables if grouped rows (as example "3. Element of pipe") are not expanded completely.
  • File error after moving tab-sheets by drag and drop (as example table "pipe 5" was moved between "table 1" and "table 2").

Caused by these bugs files will not saved correctly after the use of these functions. If you open the damaged files you will get an error message.
