ISO 5167 · Web App · No installation

The ISO 5167 calculator your team can actually share.

Size and verify orifice plates, Venturi tubes, and flow nozzles per ISO 5167. Runs in the browser. Nothing to install. Results update as you type. Shared workspace, not spreadsheets in inboxes.

No account needed to try. No credit card.

FlowCalc orifice plate calculation showing operating conditions, solve-for toggle, and live results

How it works

From blank form to signed-off calculation in minutes.

1

Enter operating conditions

Fluid type, pressure, temperature, pipe diameter. Select the tap configuration and what you want to solve for.

2

Get the result instantly

Flow rate, bore size, or differential pressure — whichever you chose. Validity flags tell you if you're inside ISO 5167 limits.

3

Export and hand off

Generate a PDF calculation report with all inputs, results, and pipe length tables. Attach it to the project dossier.

Four decades of proven calculations, rebuilt for the web.

FlowCalc traces back to Turbo ORF in the 1980s and FlowCalc32, used by engineers at refineries, steel mills, and paper mills in 40+ countries. The web app is a full rewrite: same verified equations, modern tool.

How engineering teams actually work

The calculation is the easy part. Getting it to your team, your dossier, and your next laptop is what takes time.

No installation, no IT ticket

Runs in any modern browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, or iPad. No admin rights needed. No waiting for IT approval.

The calculation belongs to the project, not a laptop

Everyone on the team opens the same record. No fourth revision of a spreadsheet from someone's inbox. No wondering if the file you have is the one that was submitted.

No license keys, no reinstalls

IT replaced your laptop? Sign in and keep working. Your calculations and your license live in the cloud, not on a machine.

Always up to date

Updates happen server-side. Nobody is stuck on an old version, and the whole team always runs the same engine.

Replace the spreadsheet and the vendor tool.

Most orifice calculations today live in one of two places. Both have problems.

The spreadsheet

Formula errors hide in cells nobody opens. Versions multiply in inboxes. The person who built it left two years ago, and nobody dares touch column AG.

The free vendor tool

Exists to sell you that vendor's meters. Installed on one machine, if IT allows it. No shared records, no audit trail, and the assumptions are theirs, not yours.

FlowCalc

ISO 5167 calculations that belong to the project, not a person's laptop. Validity flags built in. PDF report ready for the project dossier.

The full ISO 5167 toolbox

FlowCalc covers orifice plates, Venturi tubes, ISA 1932 nozzles, and long-radius nozzles. Gas, liquid, saturated steam, superheated steam, and water. IAPWS-IF97 steam properties are built in.

Type a value, change a unit, switch fluid type. The result updates immediately. Solve for flow rate, orifice bore, or differential pressure.

Built for engineers who size flow elements

Process engineers

Size orifice plates and Venturi tubes during FEED or detailed design. Iterate quickly on bore, tap type, and fluid conditions without touching a spreadsheet.

Instrument engineers

Verify that an installed meter still meets its original design conditions. Check pipe installation lengths. Flag out-of-range Reynolds numbers before commissioning.

Engineering contractors

Keep calculation records inside the project, not in someone's inbox. Shareable links, PDF reports, and a consistent calculation engine across the team.

What it includes

Everything in one place, shared with the team, updated automatically.

All primary device types

Corner tap, flange tap, and D & D/2 tap orifice plates. ISA 1932 and long-radius nozzles. Venturi tubes. Restriction orifice sizing.

All fluid types

Gas, liquid, water, saturated steam, and superheated steam. Density and viscosity computed automatically for steam and water via IAPWS-IF97.

Solve for anything

Solve for flow rate, orifice bore, or differential pressure. Auto-recalculates when you change any input. Handles choked flow and cavitation.

Pipe installation lengths

Upstream and downstream straight pipe length requirements from ISO 5167-2 Table 3 and ISO 5167-3 Table 1. Both 0% and 0.5% additional uncertainty.

PDF calculation report

Generate a complete, printable report with all inputs, results, validity flags, and pipe length tables. Ready to attach to a project dossier.

Team workspace

Invite colleagues to your organisation. Everyone sees the same calculations, with the same inputs. The calculation record is the handoff.
