AutoFLOW

Because AutoFLOW is spec driven, it meets all your project’s piping specs automatically so you don’t have to. Its intuitive, smart design simplifies the production of Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams and Process Flow Diagrams. Packed with extensive functionality and complete ANSI/ISA symbology, AutoFLOW makes it easy to create intelligent flow sheets as well as:

• Valve bills of material
• Equipment lists
• Instrument lists
• Line number lists

To increase flexibility, the AutoFLOW allows the user to override the current spec settings and add special components or change the parameters for these components. The System Overrides include:

• Welded Valves: places welded valves instead of flanged
• Shop or Field: lets you change the shipping destination of valves
• System Toggles: AutoFLOW includes system toggles so users can select to enable or disable some of the program’s functionality. These toggles allow users to customize the software based on their company’s standard practices. The System Toggles include:
• Valve Flanges: lets you control the appearance of flanges by allowing to choose to add valves showing flanges or not showing flanges
• Material ON/OFF: lets you create piping designs without using pipe specifications
