3.37.1 Fixes & Changes |
| |
|
| 1. |
Corrected dp loss
calculation for lo loss flow tubes. Equation was
bypassed in a prior release update and was
displaying 100% permanent pressure loss. The beta
and bore calculation were unaffected. Issued as
Release 3.36.3. |
| 2. |
Corrected the
discharge standard callout to be R.W. Miller (3rd
Edition) for critical drop orifices. Issued as
Release 3.36.2. |
| 3. |
Fixed the
saturated liquid factor to print properly.
Sometimes printout would crash FE-Sizer and other
times would print, but would not print the vapor
density used in the saturated liquid factor calc.
Calculated the saturated liquid factor correctly,
however. Issued as Release 3.36.1. |
| 4. |
Added description
to Reynolds Number calculated for ASME Throat Tap
nozzles to include at Normal Flow on calculation
sheet. Prior versions did not adequately define
the flow which calculated Reynolds Number
represented. Also redfined Reynolds Numbers for
critical drop and Restrictive Pressure Drop
applications to be calculated at Flow - only
single point flow given for these applications. |
| 5. |
Fixed flow
conversions from mass to volumentric flows for
Steam applications. For steam mass flow to volume
conversion at Base volumetric flows, the flows
are zero'd out. There is no Z @ base for steam
since it is water and standard or normal
conditions of 60 deg F (15.55 deg C) and 14.696
psia (1.01325 bar-ab). |
| 6. |
Updated and/or
verified revisions from ASME MFC 3Ma-2007 are
incorporated and updated discharge coefficient to
refer to ASME MFC-3Ma-2007 when this discarge
coefficient is selected. |
| 7. |
Added more functionality to
allow conversion of flows between steam and
volumetric gases & vapors at flowing
condtions. Also detects when changing fluid
equation from a liquid to a gas or vapor or vice
versa and asks user if erasing current fluid data
is desired. |
| 8. |
Issued as Release 3.37.1:
Fixed liquid critical drop calculations. Program
was not returning proper results due to error in
calculating the critical drop as P1 - Pvap. |
| 9. |
Issued as Release 3.37.1:
Fixed critical drop calculations and restriction
drop calculations when changing orifice type from
square or thick edged orifice plate to a
contoured flow element, i.e., venturi for
critical drop and nozzles for restrictive drop.
Program reverted back to square or thick edged
orifice design if sizing mode was changed from
bore to flow, etc. |
| 10. |
Issued as Release 3.37.1:
Corrected the fix to item 1 to correct dp loss
calculation to include all versions of the
software. Previous correction set to fix only the
"fabricator" custom version. |
