Where Fluid System Modeling Still Costs Your Team Time

PIPE-FLO Connect gives engineering teams a faster, more collaborative way to build and use fluid system models. Calculation rigor is intact. Years of engineering work carry forward.
Common challenge
Manual model building
Building a model from a P&ID, AFT diagram, or PDF takes 10 to 40 hours of manual, pipe-by-pipe entry.
Files passed by email
Teams pass files through email, creating delays, version confusion, and review bottlenecks.
Desktop dependencies
Desktop applications require local installation, license administration, and VPN access for remote teams.
Hard-to-read schematics
Complex piping schematics are difficult for operations and non-engineering stakeholders to interpret.
Per-seat licensing
Per-seat software licensing limits access for junior engineers, reviewers, and cross-functional stakeholders.
How PIPE-FLO Connect responds
AI Image-to-Model Import
Builds model components from your P&ID, diagram, or PDF in minutes, not hours. Your engineers review and refine instead of re-entering every pipe.
One live model
Engineers access the same live model. A single active editor preserves model integrity.
Browser-based delivery
Removes local installation and VPN requirements and adds role-based access controls, SSO, audit logging, and cloud infrastructure.
Interactive 3D visualization
Makes system layout, design intent, and potential changes clear to every stakeholder.
Priced by pipe count
Pipe count, not seat count, prices PIPE-FLO Connect. Every engineer gets access. User count is decoupled from cost.

Turn Existing Documentation Into a Working Model

Upload a P&ID, AFT diagram, or PDF schematic. PIPE-FLO Connect uses AI to identify system topology and build model elements, converting existing documentation into a working fluid system model faster than manual entry. Engineering review and judgment stay with the engineer of record.

Describe the Change. Let AI Handle the Mechanics.

Describe a model change in plain language. PIPE-FLO Connect executes it using predefined engineering tools. The engineer of record retains accountability, review, and judgment.

Give Every Reviewer Access to the Current Model

Designers, reviewers, operators, and stakeholders work from the same live model. A single active editor preserves integrity. No emailed files.

Review System Layout in 3D

Explore full pipe networks in interactive 3D for spatial design review and stakeholder communication with teams that work outside fluid system models.

Enterprise Access Without Desktop Dependencies

Runs in a web browser. No local installation. No VPN. SSO, role-based access controls, audit logging, and multi-zone redundancy, supporting 400+ concurrent users in a single tenant.

Give Every Engineer Access Without Per-Seat Licensing

Pipe count, not seat count, prices PIPE-FLO Connect. Teams bring in every engineer, reviewer, and stakeholder a project requires.

What Happens to Your Existing PIPE-FLO Models?

Existing PIPE-FLO Desktop models import directly into PIPE-FLO Connect, so your team carries forward its engineering work without rebuilding from scratch.

Select and Validate Pumps Inside Your Model

PIPE-FLO Connect integrates PUMP-FLO catalog data directly into the modeling environment. Engineers select and import pump curves from 150+ OEM pump and equipment manufacturers, then evaluate options against real system conditions without leaving the model.

The Engineering Methods Behind Every Model

PIPE-FLO Connect brings a proven calculation engine to a modern cloud platform. The engineering methods, fluid-property data, and calculation capabilities behind PIPE-FLO remain central to Connect.

Darcy-Weisbach and Crane TP410

Pressure drop using Darcy-Weisbach methods, with K-factor and equivalent-length fitting losses based on Crane TP410 practices.

Full Network Solver

Solve conservation of mass and energy simultaneously across tanks, pipes, pumps, valves, heat exchangers, and nodes.

Fluid Properties Library

More than 6,000 verified fluid properties, including density, viscosity, vapor pressure, and heat capacity.

ASME Pipe Standards

ASME B36.10 and B36.19 dimensions for steel and stainless-steel piping, with support for custom specifications.

Heat Exchanger Modeling

Model heat sources, heat sinks, and HX-2 Pipe devices with fluid-zone temperature propagation.

Compressible Gas Analysis

Isentropic, adiabatic, and mass addition/loss methods, with Mach-number pipe sizing and mixed-flow support.

Engineering Reporting

PDF reports with pipe-by-pipe results, system performance summaries, and tabular engineering data.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Teams can import existing PIPE-FLO Desktop models directly into PIPE-FLO Connect, carrying forward accumulated engineering work without rebuilding models from scratch.
Engineers upload a P&ID, AFT diagram, or PDF schematic. PIPE-FLO Connect uses AI to extract the system topology and build model components. The platform can build each pipe in approximately five seconds, compared with approximately 1.5 minutes through manual entry, helping teams build models faster.

PIPE-FLO Connect uses AI to reduce repetitive model-building and model-editing tasks. Engineers remain responsible for reviewing the model, validating assumptions, and applying professional engineering judgment.

Multiple users can access the same live model. A single active editor helps protect model integrity, while reviewers and collaborators can work from the current version rather than exchanging model files.
PIPE-FLO Connect is a browser-based, cloud-native platform. It includes SSO, role-based access controls, audit logging, and multi-zone redundancy.

PIPE-FLO Connect is priced by pipe count rather than by individual seats. This allows organizations to provide user access across the engineering team without per-user licensing caps. Ready to see PIPE-FLO on your models? Request a Demo.

PIPE-FLO Connect provides native access to PUMP-FLO catalog data from more than 150 OEM pump and equipment manufacturers. Engineers can select and import pump curves and evaluate pump performance against actual system conditions inside the modeling environment.
PIPE-FLO Connect supports fluid system analysis including Darcy-Weisbach pressure-drop calculations, Crane TP410 fitting-loss methods, full network mass-and-energy solving, heat exchanger modeling, compressible gas analysis, steady-state flow analysis, transient analysis, and thermal dynamics. The platform is supported by a library of more than 6,000 verified fluid properties.
