What is ISO-5167?

ISO-5167

ISO-5167 is a handy software tool made for the oil and gas industry. It's super easy to use on Windows, and it helps you design orifice plates and find out the pressure drop in a flow, or even the other way around!

Simple Installation and Interface

You might notice that the installation process for ISO-5167 feels a bit old-fashioned. The interface looks like something from Windows 95, but don't let that fool you! It's really simple to navigate, which makes it user-friendly.

Calculating Made Easy

When you're ready to calculate, you can start by giving your project a title. Then, choose the type of orifice—like gas or liquid—or if it's a restriction orifice. You can select fluids like natural gas, air, oxygen (for gases), and crude oil or water (for liquids). There's also methanol and different types of glycols!

Select Your Calculation Type

You get to pick how you want to calculate things too! Whether it's figuring out the orifice size, flow rate, or pressure drop, just tap your choices. You can choose options like flange mode, corner type, and materials such as carbon steel or stainless steel.

Instant Results at Your Fingertips

The cool part? Once you hit that button after entering all your info, results pop up instantly! And if you need to tweak something? No worries—you can easily go back and recalculate.

Print & Save Your Work

ISO-5167 lets you print your results and save them as files. Plus, you can switch between customary units and metric ones without any hassle. While it doesn’t have many extra features to boast about, it gets the job done!

No Major Issues Found

I didn’t run into any problems while testing ISO-5167. The app didn’t freeze up on me or throw any error messages. It responds quickly to commands and works fine on newer operating systems—just keep in mind it's been a while since it got an update. Overall, despite its plain look, ISO-5167 is perfect for anyone needing help with gas or oil calculations!
