At the Valve World Expo in November/December 2016 in Düsseldorf, FIRST presented a new version of CONVAL® 10.0.
Following an intensive development and test phase, CONVAL® 10 offers, in addition to updating the calculations to the latest standards and the implementation of further standards and procedures, extensive functional extensions in many of the available modules.
The sizing and calculation of downstream resistor structures are completely new and offer various designs as well as recalculation modes. New flow meters such as cone- or wedge meters, a calculation of the thickness for orifices, multi-hole restriction orifice plates or pressure loss calculations for two-phase flow complement the range of functions.
Thermo wells can also be calculated according to DIN 43772. The thermodynamics package currently supports the RefProp substances from the NIST.
On the IT side, CONVAL® can update its databases online without an administrator support and creates PDFs without a PDF printer driver.
