Perform Calculations
• Calculate either Control valve size, Flow rate or Pressure drop
• Calculate the cavitation index
• Calculate the noise level
• Supply typical valve data
• Supply or calculate the fluid properties at flow conditions
• Supply pipe sizes
• Use English or SI engineering units in any mixture
• Use mass or volume flow units
• Import process data
• Print a calculation sheet
• Save the data
