Build Your Own PUMP-FLO Electronic Catalogs With New
P-Library Software
LACEY, Washington- December 20, 2011-PUMP-FLO™ Solutions
(An Engineered Software Business), and PUMP-FLO software are known
worldwide for our characteristic and industry standard pump curves.
Today PUMP-FLO Solutions is announcing the new software product, P-Library, which allows anyone
to develop pump curves for any centrifugal pump. The program
creates a file that can be used in the PUMP-FLO selection and
PIPE-FLO system design software.
What this means for system designers or pump specifiers it that
a pump that might not be available through the downloadable
PUMP-FLO catalogs can be graphed using a spreadsheet or digitizing
tablet and saved as a digital pump catalog file.
PIPE-FLO Professional software users will find this program to
be particularly time saving because building a pump catalog in
P-Library is faster, allows for multiple impeller diameters to be
included and is saved in a PMP file format. PMP files can be
installed into PIPE-FLO and used in different system files rather
than having to build a pump curve for every new piping system
designed in the PIPE-FLO and Flow of Fluids software.
Pump Manufacturers who use PUMP-FLO can use P-Library for pump
catalog database management. Pump manufacturers can use the
software to generate a catalog of data-driven performance curves.
The catalog can then be used for internal record keeping,
generating factory certified curves for sales packages, distributed
to end-users for use with the PUMP-FLO desktop selection software,
andit can even be posted on PUMP-FLO.com.
P-Library comes with an introductory training course, one year
of software support, upgrades, and a detailed user guide that gets
you up and running quickly.
P-Library is the muscle behind the PUMP-FLO curves; it
creates data-driven curves using a cubic spline
regression as opposed to polynomial regression. To learn
why and how P-Library's graphing methods are the most accurate, the
article
Pump Curve Accuracy, published in Pumps & Systems
Magazine December 2011 Issue describes how the software generates
pump curves.
The PUMP-FLO software allows users to search across a pump
catalog to generate a dynamic pump curve based on a system design
point search. Additional search criteria include fluid properties,
motor sizing, NPSH calculations, pump limits, and system operating
points. Once a dynamic pump curve is generated, users have the
ability to trim impeller diameters, adjust operating speeds, and
dynamically generate electronic curves & data sheet reports.
The PUMP-FLO selection engine is developed by Engineered Software,
Inc. and is fully integrated into the PIPE-FLO Professional program
used to design, simulate, analyze and optimize fluid piping
systems. (www.eng-software.com)
P-Library Features
- Create files compatible with PIPE-FLO, Flow of Fluids and
PUMP-FLO software
- Quickly and easily copy and paste performance data in and out
of the software via a table interface or enter using a digitizing
tablet
- Store additional data such as pump performance limits, physical
characteristics and identifiers with each pump curve record
