I just ordered Verizon’s fiber-optic service here at work (Fios). We currently have a frame-relay service (aka – Partial T1) now that runs at 384k. This new service will run at 15000k downstream (downloading) and 2000k upstream (uploading stuff directly to our machines) -that 39 times faster boys and girls. Amazing. And less than $100…

Another quickie, this one posed by a customer – Why am I getting negative numbers for my flow on part of my loop system? That is normal in a loop or grid. The negative sign indicates that the flow is in the reverse order of the direction the pipe has been input into the program.…

I got a request form a customer today asking: "If I am using AutoCAD 2014 can one of the estimators put 2012 in his machine so he can open and preview cad drawings sent to him? If not, is there a CAD viewer program available for cheap somewhere?" Yep! There are actually three options- all…

This one is a bit esoteric for most of you but it is critical to our European customers. HydraCALC will not load the job properly nor print it out if the Decimal and Digit grouping Symbols are not as we expect to find them here in North America. We realize this is an inconvenience and…

And another thing… Even been filling out an Info Sheet in HydraCALC and get to the part where it is asking for Flow Required and Pressure Required? Wish there was a quicker way to fill those in? There is! When at that page in the Info Sheet, pick the View pulldown and pick Calc Summary.…

If you hit the F1 thru F12 keys in HydraCALC while in the Diameter column, it will place the nominal diameter assigned to that key into the Dia. slot! That way to can keep typing along, using only the keyboard and no need to reach for the mouse… F1 = 1 …
