File / Size	Version / Date	News & Bugs
Update will follow			Check valve, Y-pattern globe lift Wrong calculation in the range 300 - <400 mm Non existing information in window "Orifice design" The design calculation of the orifice is valid for liquids only. Therefore in this window are no input fields for temperature and pressure. If you calculate gases in this window you will get estimated values only.
drop722.zip 5,3 MB	7.22 05.01.2013		Advanced functions in the chart (line format, - color etc.)
	7.22 05.01.2013		Opening of some project files by mouse double click: error message "file damaged..." Menu Calculate/Normal-m3 to Working-m3: If you input the volume flow as Nm3/min or Nm3/s you will get wrong results.
	7.21 01.07.2012		Error if you save project files If your project has more than one table and you move tables by drag and drop, it's not possible to save the project file in this order. You can save the project after removing of the table(s) to the original order. Important note: To use this revised file you need an installed version of SF Pressure Drop 7.2. It's not possible to use it with older versions!
drop720.zip 4,7 MB	7.20 04.03.2012		Properties of CO2 in the range 216 K to 1100 K and 0 to 8000 bar Advanced function within the print preview and page layout (save/open page layout and further use in other projects) Correction of some small bugs Important note: The download file drop720.zip contains the complete software with installation program. Please install the software normally with the included setup file. A previous installation of SF Pressure Drop 7.0 is not necessary. To switch to the registered version you need a new password. Passwords from earlier versions are not working. Registered users or SF Pressure Drop 7.x can order the password by e-mail (info@software-factory.de) without cost.
drop715.zip 5,4 MB	7.15 30.03.2011		Wrong conversion of Nm3/min and Nm3/s if you have select Norm volume flow. Inserted pictures within the diagram were not saved.
	7.14 21.11.2010		Upgrade table print function You can now export and save the calculation table as pdf-file also.
	7.14 21.11.2010		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".
	08.11.2010 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.
	7.12 12.09.2010		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. Small improvements / correction of small bugs
	7.01 21.03.201		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.
