History
We have sold PipeFlow® software programs on the web since 1997. Our open approach allows potential customers to download and install our Pipe Flow software programs for a free trial, after which then can choose to return to our web site to purchase a software license code. It's really easy and users in countries worldwide make payment and get their software fully licensed in less than 2 minutes.
Our premier Pipe Flow Expert program allows users to design, model, and solve complex pipe systems, to calculate the flow rates and pressure drops in the pipes throughout their system. Pipe Flow Expert was first released in 2006 and became an instant success with engineers that needed a powerful but easy-to-use software program to model open loop and closed loop pipe systems with mutiple tanks, multiple pumps, and multiple components.
Users in over 100 countries worldwide choose Pipe Flow software for its:
- EASE-OF-USE: Our user interfaces are simple and intuitive to use.
- UNBEATABLE VALUE-FOR-MONEY: We provide "amazing software" at incredible prices.
- UNRIVALLED SUPPORT: In the words of our users, our support is "simply superb".
- ROBUST CALCULATION ENGINE: Users worldwide trust PipeFlow software.
