Calculation data originates mainly from the Process Data module, but also from the Instrument Index module. You can open the relevant dialog for the specified instrument type (control valve, flowmeter, relief valve, or thermowell), enter all the parameters required for calculation, and initiate the calculation. After performing the calculation, the relevant data may then be incorporated into generated reports and specifications.
The Calculation module allows you to quickly perform calculations for Cv, noise, orifice diameter, required discharge area, and other parameters for control valves, flowmeters, relief valves, and thermowells.
The Calculation module employs the major international standards (ISA, ANSI, API, ISO, and IEC 60534-2-1 (1998)), to perform complex calculations quickly and effortlessly.
-
The software does not support calculations for materials for which the state is solid/powder, nor for 2-phase flow.
-
If you need to add or modify process data, you can do this in the Calculation module (for details, see Edit Instrument Process Data).
