Engineered Software, Inc.’s PIPE-FLO® Professional is the world’s leading fluid flow analysis and design modeling software tool. Within the PIPE-FLO® platform, users can experience a variety of modules that solve specific challenges.

These versatile tools provide value across multiple disciplines, industries and during all stages in the lifetime of a fluid piping system. They provide a common basis for operators, process and design engineers and management to understand, communicate and document their fluid piping systems and processes. Equally applicable to process, support and distribution systems in commercial, industrial and public facilities, PIPE-FLO® products are an invaluable tool for the design, commissioning, operation and modification of fluid piping systems.

PIPE-FLO® is designed to optimize and troubleshoot new or existing fluid piping systems. With a rich set of features and tools, PIPE-FLO® offers a variety of ways to view and analyze your fluid systems. Now you can reduce design time and avoid costly errors by eliminating the need for complex spreadsheets.
