Installation Instructions
| 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.3354 is Release 3.35.4. 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. |
Update Details
| Release 3.43.2 Fixes & Changes - Feb 4, 2010 | |
| 1. | Improved the Reynolds number estimation at Beta = 0.43 to increase accuracy of calculated results for ASME Throat Tap flow nozzles.. |
| Release 3.43.1 Fixes & Changes - Jan 2, 2010 | |
| 1. | Corrected error in the computation for the Y expansion factor for gases and vapors. The software error occurred in Release 3.43.0 and affected no other releases.. |
| Release 3.43.0 Fixes & Changes - Dec 21, 2010 | |
| 1. | Added discharge coefficients for Eccentric, Quadrant, and Conic style orifice plates in accordance with ISO/TR 15377 Technical Report for "Measurement of fluid flow by means of pressure-differential devices - Guidelines for the specification of orifice plates, nozzles and Venturi tubes beyond the scope of ISO 5167. Released as 3.43.0 - Nov 16, 2009. |
| 2. | Segregated warning messages for compliance issues between R.W. Miller's, "Flow Measurement Engineering Handbook," 3rd Edition and ISO/TR 15377 Technical Report.. |
| 3. | Corrected custom meter sizing to include Wedge Meters and to display the various parameters for custom calculated wedge meters correctly. Though custom wedge meters were incorporated into Release 3.41.0, it was dropped due to problematic display problems. This has now been fixed and is incorporated fully into this release. Released as 3.42.4 - Nov 08, 2009. |
| 4. | Corrected error in the pressure restrictive and critical drop orifice calculations for liquid flows. Software was not calculating the cavitational dP correctly and was including cavitation correction and incipient cavitation noise together giving extremely high noise values for some calculations. Released as 3.42.3 - Oct 30,2009. |
| 5. | Corrected dP calculation for critical drop noise. dP was incorrectly calculated which resulted in a much lower noise value at the orifice outlet. Released as 3.42.2 - Oct 25,2009. |
| 6. | Corrected first coefficient for eccentric orifice (flange taps) 180 deg taps for D > 4 in from 0.6018 to 0.6016. This error added approximately 0.033% to the value for uncertainty for this style orifice plate. Released as 3.42.2 - Oct 25,2009. |
| 7. | Fixed discharge coefficient for corner tap style AGA Report 3 Reader-Harris Equation and ASME MFC 3M (2007) and ISO-5167 (2003). Logic error. This caused the program to choose ASME MFC 3M (1989) and ISO 5167 (1991) in lieu of the Reader Harris equations resulting in approximately 0.2% added uncertainty to calculated results. Released as 3.42.1- Sep 7, 2009. |
