INSTRUCALC - Instrument Engineering Calculations

Control Valves – Flow Elements – Relief Devices – Fluid Properties – Pipe Pressure Loss –
Liquid Waterhammer

Size more than 50 different instruments with this easy-to-use and accurate sizing program.

InstruCalc 6.2.0 calculates the sizes of control valves, flow elements, and relief devices; produces
data sheets for calculated items; and prepares instrument summaries and uses data sheets as a
database for generating reports. The Control valve and Flow element modules now will calculate,
display and print graphs of your calculations.

InstruCalc 6.2.0 allows YOU to select any set of engineering units, including your own customized
set. Units can be mixed, matched and changed in the middle of a calculation.

InstruCalc 6.2.0 consists of more the 74 routines divided into five main sections.

InstruCalc 6.2.0 calculates process data at flow conditions for 54 fluids in either mixtures or single
components and 66 gases in either mixtures or single components. Files can be updated with
additional users' fluids and gases.

InstruCalc 6.2.0 calculates the orifice size, flowrate or differential range, which enables the user
to select the flowrate with optimum accuracy. It provides the recommended size and corrects the
orifice size accordingly. Process data can be converted individually or jointly with a simple "click
of the mouse."

InstruCalc 6.2.0 is the only sizing programs you need to consider!

What's new in InstruCalc version 6.2.0?

• Graphs for Control Valves and Flow Elements calculations have been added. The
programs will calculate, display and print graphs of the calculations. Graphs available for
Control Valves are: valve Cv and flow; valve pressure drop and flow; linear trim; and,
equal percent trim. Flow Element graphs include: flow and differential.
• Added more Restriction devices – ISO Venture, ASME Long Radius Nozzle and
concentric orifice plate (thick and thin) for gas and liquid services using Miller's
Handbook, 3rd edition, 1996.
• Added material yield strengths file. This was added to calculated Orifice Plate thickness
automatically. The thickness is calculated for each orifice based on the pressure and
temperature of the selected plate material. Also based on Miller's Handbook, 3rd edition,
1996.
• ISO orifice plate calculations have been updated to ISO 5167, 2003.
• Added to the Relief Valve programs, sudden entrance and exit to the calculations.
