Develop Your Very Own Process Analyser
Jan 04 2011
Featuring 3-D computer aided design (CAD) output, live flow evaluation, and integrated flow data, the updated MPC Configurator from Swagelok® (USA) makes it easy to develop complete process analyzer and sample-handing systems. The program provides engineers with an interactive tool to build and assemble ANSI/ISA 76.00.02-compliant miniature modular designs prior to the purchase process. The software is available for download from www.swagelok.com or as a CD installation from an authorized Swagelok sales and service center.
“With the MPC configurator, engineers can have a ‘try before you buy’ experience for their system design,” said Doug Nordstrom, market manager, analytical instrumentation, Swagelok Company. “Our tool lets you pick your component, platform layout, and even fluid type to produce a live flow model so you can see graphical representation of flow through a system.”
The configurator features integrated flow data such as flow coefficient (Cv), volumetric flow rate, and volume for a wide variety of fluids. Then, users can simulate valve actuation to see how the flow reacts. Flow streams are color-coded for easy evaluation. Component selection features Swagelok MPC components and the ability to use custom components when creating a system.
From the configurator, engineers can create several types of reports to support their design. The software generates 2-D design schematics (P&ID view exportable through AutoCAD® 2010), a 3-D real view (exportable to SolidWorks®), and/or a bill of materials (BOM) for purchasing. A project report feature also provides a BOM and assembly diagrams package. All outputs can be saved to the user’s local machine.
