Control-Soft Enterprises - FE-Sizer for Windows, Version 3.0

1.	Download above release update installation file.
2.	Backup your existing files by creating a new folder in your installation directory called fesizer.xxxx where .xxxx represents backup version number, i.e., fesizer.3420 is Release 3.42.0. Move the following files from the installation directory into this file: FESIZER32.exe, readme.txt
3.	If previous maintenance updates have been installed, uninstall them using their original maintenance release update setup/install utility and select "remove" or use the Windows Add/Remove Programs utility. Note: Be careful not to remove the full version installation. It contains important files necessary to the operation of the FE-Sizer application.
4.	Run the downloaded release update setup/install file and select whether you accept the license agreement by selecting the "I accept..." or "I do not accept..." item.
5.	Point the install/setup installation directory to the current installation directory on your computer or server.
6.	Follow installation instructions.
7.	IMPORTANT STEP: Be sure to delete the "fesizer.cfg" file found in the FE-Sizer program directory prior to starting up the program to force a reset of all units conversion factors.

Release 3.45.6 - Jul 11, 2011
1.	Fixed units for liquid volumetric flow @ flowing conditions. Units setting was corrupted in Release 3.45.0. This release fixes the problem. This error has a potential impact to accuracy of calculation only when using the described flow units.
2.	For volumetric flows for liquids, changed l/h to exact conversion between m3/h and l/h instead of correlating to liters of water at 39 degF/4 degC.
Release 3.45.5 - Jun 27, 2011
1.	Fixed units presentation for orifice bore and meter differentials to display properly when temperature units are mixed between process temperature and dp reference temperatures for both orifice meter bores and differential pressures. Cosmetic fix only. Did not impact accuracy.
2.	Fixed bore reference temperature to display correctly (68 degF / 20 degC) only. Was displaying dp reference temperatures for certain conditions. Cosmetic fix only. Did not impact accuracy of calculation.
Release 3.45.4 Fixes & Changes - June 20, 2011
1.	Reprogrammed the Meter Type and Meter Style to print with Lo Loss Flow Tubes. Old routine of setting text string for these variables was no longer functioning for the calculation print routine.
Release 3.45.3 Fixes & Changes - Jun 02, 2011
1.	Corrected code logic to correctly calculate uncertainty for orifice plates where beta > 0.75. Program was cutting off at betas > 0.75 and providing uncertainty only for pipe, etc.
Release 3.45.2 Fixes & Changes - May 01, 2011
1.	Added test for noise < 30 dB for minimum detectable noise. If noise is less than 30 dB, set noise = 30 dB.
2.	Eliminate error in displaying molecular weight for gas-volume-density-base calculations.
Release 3.45.1 Fixes & Changes - Apr 20, 2011
1.	Added MW to critical drop equations for gas/vapor base and standard/normal volumetric flows. Program was not functioning on this equation without MW.
2.	Added error trap for Beta > 0.9 for critical drop ofifices. Beta should be < 0.5 for thick and square-edged orifice plates and < 0.25 for ASME flow nozzles and ISO torroidal flow nozzles.
3.	Added warnings to thick plate orifices for critical drop equations when beta exceeds recommended design allowances, i.e., beta < 0.5 for thick plate and square-edged orifices and beta < 0.25 for ASME flow nozzles and ISO torroidal flow nozzles.
4.	Fixed text for downstream pressure for critical drop calculation screen when calculating flow rate to read "Downstream Pressure, Pf2 <." Screen was reading "Permanent dP Loss =" which was incorrect for this sizing method.
Release 3.45.0 Fixes & Changes - Apr 06, 2011
1.	Fixed unit conversion for 1 m3/m and 1 m3/h to convert to 999.972 liters/min and 999.972 liters/hr respectively.
2.	Another glitch related to Release 3.44.2, Fix item 1. Had errant Patm term that failed the logic check erroneously. Released as 3.44.5 - Mar 23, 2011
3.	Fixed another glitch left over from Release 3.44.2. Program would give erroneous Error 22 message for indeterminate results due to sonic flow conditions. It was giving this error for liquids as well due to error in logic trapping this error condition. Additionally, the units for dP were not properly converted from in WC in determining the downstream pressure conditions. Released as 3.44.4 - Jan 09, 2011.
4.	Fixed the Error 1007 problem in Release 3.44.2 which prevented opening any existing database files created with prior versions. Released as 3.44.3 - Jan 05, 2011.
5.	Added Error No. 22 to trap indeterminate conditions when the calculated downstream pressures are < 0 psia which is not possible. Released as 3.44.3 - Jan 05, 2011.
6.	Reformated some of the pulldowns in the dialog screens to display all units without a slider bar, etc. Released as 3.44.3 - Jan 05, 2011.
7.	Fixed orifice plate discharge coefficient standard - 4th bullet - to display ASME-MFC-3Ma (2007) which is the latest instead of ASME-MFC-3M (2004). Printout always printed correct standard. Released as 3.44.3 - Jan 05, 2011.
8.	Fixed program output for calculation print outs for pressure drop restrictions for gases/vapors with the property set to densities to not print Mw = 0. Mw should not print for this fluid. Released as 3.44.1 - Nov 07, 2010.
