Release 3.38.2
1. Fixed discarge coefficient standard setting for flow nozzles. Program
logic did not
allow proper setting for discharge coefficient for ASME standard flow
nozzles and
ISA flow nozzles. This caused the program to not calculate the
discharge coefficient
and not solve for a proper value for beta, etc.
Release 3.38.1
1. Fixed the Fluid Properties to display all fluids. Program error was
causing the fluid
properties selection dialog to miss the first 22 components.

FE-Sizer for Windows, Version 3.0 - Release 3.32
Flow Meter Sizing Software for Control and Instrumentation Professionals.
Introduction
------------
FE-Sizer is a valuable engineering tool for sizing and selecting head-type
flow meters in closed conduits. It is flexible, easy-to-use, and complete
with appropriate menus and lists. The software includes meter selection,
material tables and pipe data tables.
A table of standard drain and vent hole diameters are available where the
user selects the hole diameter to calculate the drain/vent hole correction
factor, FDH. These factors aid the user in selecting the proper meter
application. Extensive built-in warnings flag potential application and
data entry errors.
The program equations, methods and procedures comply with the following
standards governing the sizing and specification of head-type orifice
meter
devices:
ASME MFC-3M (Both 1989 and 2004 Editions) * Measurements of
Fluid Flow in Pipes Using Orifice, Nozzle and Venturi
ANSI/API 2530-AGA Re****t No. 3 (Both 1985 and 1992 Editions) *
Orifice Metering of Natural Gas and Other Related Hydrocarbon Fluids -
Part 3 Natural Gas Applications
ISO-5167 (1991) * Measurement of fluid flow by means of pressure
differential devices inserted in circular cross-section conduits
running
full
Part 1: Orifice Plates, Nozzles and Venturi Tubes
ISO-5167 (2003) * Measurement of fluid flow by means of pressure
differential devices inserted in circular cross-section conduits
running
full
Part 1 - General principles and requirements
Part 2 - Orifice Plates
Part 3 - Nozzles and Venturi nozzles
Part 4 - Venturi tubes
Sizing methods use the iterative procedure described in R. W. Miller's,
Flow
Measurement Engineering Handbook, Third Edition, McGraw-Hill
Publi****ng Company. The discharge coefficient correlations for concentric
bore orifice plates include the following standards:
Miller/Stolz equations - ASME MFC-3M (1989) and ISO-5167 (1991)
Reader- Harris/Gallagher (1998) - ISO 5167 (2003)
Reader- Harris/Gallagher - AGA Re****t No. 3 (1992)
Buckingham - AGA Re****t No. 3 (1985)
For all other meter types the discharge coefficient correlations are from
the ASME standard and R. W. Miller's handbook.
Meter Types
-----------
FE-Sizer allows the user to select from the following orifice meter types:
Orifice Plates: Concentric, segmental, eccentric, integral, honed
small-
bore pipe, quadrant, and conic style orifice plates.
Flow Nozzles: ASME long radius, ASME throat tap, ISA nozzle, and
Venturi nozzle with ISA inlet.
Venturi tubes: Machined inlet, rough cast inlet, and rough sheet metal
fabricated construction with either 7-degree or 15-degree outlet
cones.
Universal Venturi Tubes.
Lo-Loss Tubes.
Wedge Meters - both generic types and ABB proprietary.
In addition, the user may enter custom calibrated discharge coefficients
for
calculating bores, flows, and differential pressures of custom or
calibrated
meter run applications.
Sizing Methods
--------------
FE-Sizer calculates the required orifice bore, flow, or differential
pressure for the following fluid types:
Ideal and non-ideal gases - volumetric flow.
Va****s - mass flow.
Viscous and non-viscous liquids - volumetric flow.
Viscous and non-viscous liquids - mass flow.
Gas and va**** sizing equations may be either Pressure-Volume-
Temperature (PVT) or Density form.
Liquid flow sizing equations may be Specific Gravity or Density form.
FE-Sizer includes "critical-drop" flow and bore formulas for sizing
restrictive flow devices for gas, va**** and liquid fluids.
Factors
-------
FE-Sizer includes special sizing factors im****tant for flow meter
corrections. Factors included in FE-Sizer are:
Manometer correction.
Drain and vent hole correction.
Water va**** correction.
Two phase flows - saturated liquid
(0.0%-10.0% va**** mass to total mass content).
Two phase flows - saturated va****
(90.00% - 100% va**** mass to total mass content).
These factors correct the calculated bore, flow or differential pressure
for
specific applications.
Units System
------------
FE-Sizer includes a completely selectable units system through pulldown
selection lists that allows the user to change units "on the fly" for any
calculated or input variable.
Record Keeping
--------------
FE-Sizer allows user to print calculation sheets, data sheets, calibration
charts, or meter system uncertainty calculations from an easy-to-use menu
system. FE-Sizer saves data records in a retrievable electronic format so
future updates to the orifice sizing calculations and data sheets can be
made simply and easily. Data records are retrieved using a built-in
tag/data
listing of the stored information.
Program Features
----------------
Project database and management utilities for segregation of
calculations by projects.
Batch print of calculations and data sheets for projects.
ASCII delimited project file im****t and ex****t to interface FE-Sizer
with existing project databases.
Batch calculation mode for automatic sizing of flow elements from fluid
data im****ted from an external database.
ASME steam and water property data correlations using the equations
defined by 1967 IPC Formulation for Industrial Use.
Built-in fluid properties database which includes fluid property
correlations for liquid and gases for approximately 100 fluids.

that improve the performance of FE-Sizer. Some of the features include:
True 32-bit Windows operating system application compatible with
Windows 95/98 & ME
