News & Bugs in SF Pressure Drop 8.x

File / Size	Version / Date	News & Bugs
drop805.zip 2.1 MB	8.05 03.04.2016		Wrong cell format in row 21 - 25 of the Excel table If you use dot as decimal separator you will get wrong cell formats (the calculated data are ok).
drop804.zip 2,1 MB	8.04 14.03.2016		Bug in conversion to psig in software and drop_empty.xlsm Check valve, Y-pattern globe lift Wrong calculation in the range 300 - <400 mm
	8.03 29.03.2015		Bug in the calculation of the curve (Pressure drop = f (Rate of flow)) if you input the volume flow unequal m3/h. Small corrections.
	8.02 19.10.2014		Bug in the calculation of branch flowing elements if you input the volume flow unequal m3/h.. The software converts the volume flow of the branching pipe wrongly (you can see it in the calculation table). In the most cases you will get an error message "The volume flow of the branching pipe must be smaller...".
	8.01 01.10.2014		Error if you copy rougness data from database "Roughness of pipes" to main window. The copied data is shown in den main window but will not be considered in the pressure drop calculation. If you input the roughness data by hand the caclulation is ok. Bug in the calculation of branch flowing elements if you input the flow as mass flow.. If you input the flow instead as volume flow as mass flow you will get negative, unrealistic pressure drop results. Small corrections.
