On 16 December 2009, Engineered Software Inc. announced the official release and shipment of the new 2009 edition of Crane’s Technical Paper No. 410 (TP-410). After much anticipation, and nearly 500 pre-orders, the technical guide developed and published by Crane will be distributed via www.flowoffluids.com (an Engineered Software Inc. business) and starts shipping as of 16 December 2009. Originally developed in 1942, the TP-410 is the standard technical resource explaining the flow of fluid through valves, pipes and fittings, aiding engineers, designers and students in the appropriate selection of equipment for piping systems. The TP-410 has been updated several times, but the 2009 edition marks the introduction of a companion website containing a suite of web-based tools that solve equations found within the paper. With significant improvements to images and graphs, other new entries include chapters on pumps, control valves and flowmeters, as well as an updated bibliography and technical references.
