About FluidFlow

Engineering Confidence Since 1984

FluidFlow is developed by Flite Software Ltd, a specialist hydraulic engineering software company established in 1984. For over 40 years, we have built the tools that engineers rely on to design, analyse, and optimise pipe systems across every major industry.

Our software is trusted by over 1,000 companies worldwide — from mining operations in Australia to chemical plants in Europe, oil refineries in the Middle East, and aerospace facilities in North America.

What We Do

FluidFlow is a modular pipe system design and analysis platform that handles liquid, gas, two-phase, slurry, and non-Newtonian flows from a single application. Engineers use FluidFlow to:

Product Features

Size and select pumps, control valves, relief valves, and orifice plates
Calculate pressure drops, flow distribution, and system operating points
Model heat transfer and insulation requirements
Design settling and non-settling slurry transport systems
Generate professional reports and documentation

Our database includes 1,283 fluids, 14 pipe material types, and validated correlations built from decades of engineering research.

Proven Accuracy

Calculation reliability is not a feature — it is the foundation. FluidFlow results are tested and verified against published design examples and real-world systems. Every release ships with a library of Quality Assurance test models so engineers can validate results independently.

We support industry standards including API RP 520, ISO 4126-1, and ISO 5167, and implement equations of state (Peng-Robinson, Lee-Kesler, BWRHS) for rigorous gas and two-phase calculations.

Our Customers

FluidFlow is trusted by engineers across 20+ industries worldwide — from Fortune 500 companies to specialized engineering firms.

Oil & Gas

The oil & gas industry accounts for over $3 trillion in annual global infrastructure investment — FluidFlow helps engineers eliminate costly design errors and rework by accurately modeling pipelines and process systems before a single pipe is laid.

Mining & Metals

With pump energy costs representing up to 40% of a mine’s total electricity bill, FluidFlow enables mining engineers to optimize pump selection and fluid system design, cutting energy waste and reducing operational costs significantly.

Chemical Processing

Chemical plant failures cost the industry an estimated $20 billion annually — FluidFlow helps chemical engineers simulate complex multi-fluid networks with precision, reducing the risk of costly and dangerous design flaws.

Pharmaceutical

FDA compliance failures can cost pharmaceutical companies $10M+ per incident — FluidFlow supports engineers in designing and validating GMP-compliant process piping systems that meet the industry’s strictest standards.

Fire Protection

NFPA standards require hydraulic calculations for every fire suppression system — FluidFlow enables fire protection engineers to meet compliance requirements faster and with confidence, reducing design time by up to 50%.

Aerospace & Defence

With zero tolerance for system failure, aerospace engineers rely on FluidFlow to model hydraulic, fuel, and thermal fluid systems to exacting standards — supporting projects where a single miscalculation can cost millions.

Utilities & Water Treatment

Water utilities lose an estimated 30% of treated water to leaks and inefficiencies — FluidFlow helps engineers identify and eliminate these losses through precise network modeling and pressure analysis.

Pulp & Paper

Energy costs in pulp and paper can account for up to 30% of production costs — FluidFlow helps plant engineers optimize steam, chemical, and slurry systems to reduce waste and improve throughput.

Shipbuilding

With ship construction projects averaging $35M–$200M, naval engineers use FluidFlow to design and verify all onboard piping systems with confidence, reducing costly design revisions during build.

Space Exploration

In an industry where launch costs can exceed $10,000 per kilogram, space engineering teams use FluidFlow to design ultra-reliable propellant and pressurization systems with no margin for error.
