AutoSize Equipment

Learn how to use AutoSize to quickly size pipes and key equipment, including control valves, boosters (pumps/fans/compressors), flow elements (orifices, nozzles, venturis), and relief valves. The video shows pipe auto-sizing by economic velocity, design velocity, or design pressure gradient, with options to apply the exact calculated diameter or choose the nearest standard size (and highlights keeping the pipe sizing database up to date). It also covers equipment auto-sizing based on flow or pressure targets—control valves to ISA 75.01.01-2007, flow elements using ISO 5167/long-radius nozzle equations, and relief valves per API RP 520 and ISO 4126-1—while noting auto-size is typically turned off when rating a specific non-pipe component’s performance from the database.
