What is the B31.3 Piping Checklist?
The PRG B31.3 Piping Checklist is a program that uses basic process and geometry information to develop a checklist and guidance tips for the engineer to follow to ensure compliance with the ASME B31.3 piping code. Several reports are written to assist the analyst in developing comprehensive pipe stress evaluations without unnecessary calculations.
What Are The Main Features?
- Simple, basic input
- Analysis checklist for specific system
- Code compliance assurance and code references
- Corrosion modeling
- Definition of system complexity
- Effects of components such as expansion joints, reinforcing pads and rotating equipment
- Effects of uncertainty in flexiblities and stress intensification factors (SIFs)
- Environment effects including rain
- Evaluation of supports
- Evaluation of dynamic loads such as slug loads and waterhammer
- Expert system that cross references ASME B31.3 for your specific system
- Improved safety in piping system designs
- Rich text format reports
- Risk analysis

- FE/Pipe clients who are current on their Software Maintenance Service (SMS) as of 15 February 2012, will receive permanent access to FE661. FE661 will be re-branded as 661PRO.
- AxiPRO will only be available as a part of FE/Pipe.
- 661PRO will only be available as a part of FE/Pipe.
- The purchase price for FE/Pipe will increase, but the annual maintenance fees remain the same.
NozzlePRO v8.5
- NozzlePRO will include MatPRO, Fitness for Service and NH Reporting as permanent modules / specialized templates within the program (not as separate installations).
- NozzlePRO clients who have active maintenance plans (SMS) will receive access to FE107 & FESIF.

- Both the purchase price and the annual maintenance for NozzlePRO will increase. NozzlePRO clients have the option of renewing maintenance at their current rate between now and 31 March 2012. Maximum allowed maintenance extension is through 31 December 2013.
BOS Fluids v4.5
- BOS Fluids is being re-written by Dynaflow Research Group and Paulin Research Group. As soon as the new release is available, BOS Fluids clients will be contacted with options for continuing support and/or upgrading to the newest version.
- BOS Fluids is no longer sold bundled with FE/Pipe. It is only available as a separate / stand-alone product.
We hope that the consolidation of our software products and features will make our product line less confusing and more efficient for our clients.
