AioFlo software handles pipe sizing, pressure drop, and flow rate calculations for liquids and gases. It integrates built-in fittings, data tables for pipe size and roughness, laminar and turbulent flow capability, and multiple units of measurement. Also, it permits you to use either mass or volume flow.
AioFlo makes use of the Hooper and Darby methods to calculate resistance coefficients (K-values) for both laminar and turbulent flow regimes. Additionally, friction factors are automatically calculated using the Churchill equation for all flow regimes. The program also takes changes in elevation from inlet to outlet into account, and expresses the pressure drop for liquids in terms of head of flowing fluid for pump sizing.
With data tables for pipe size and roughness, AioFlo's units handling is unparalleled. You can set the units for any individual property independently, or choose from predefined sets like US Customary, SI Units, and Metric Units. You can even create your own sets of mixed units. Viscosities can be specified in dynamic or kinematic units, while flow rates can be specified and calculated in mass or volumetric terms.
When it comes to saving your calculations, AioFlo has you covered. You can save your results to disk, as well as print them to neat single page reports. And if you don't have enough data to perform a detailed hydraulic calculation, AioFlo even includes the facility to perform preliminary sizing and capacity calculations based on typical velocities.
The AioFlo interface is currently available in four languages: English, French, German, and Spanish. Furthermore, the AioFlo program is totally self-contained and has no dependency on any frameworks, run-time libraries, or DLLs. So if you're in need of a reliable and powerful pipe sizing and flow rate calculator, give AioFlo a try today!
