The Cla-Val Company has launched Cla-Tools, a complimentary software suite that allows users to analyze their current or future planned valve systems.
With 13 custom software programs and growing, users can analyze everything from control, and modeling of stations to sizing and selection of the right valve, and there are built-in performance tools to ensure valve stations can handle the conditions they are subjected to over time. For example, Cla-CAV helps analyze pilot-operated control valves for the potential of cavitation and cavitation damage at the full range of flows and pressures enabling design engineers to determine if and when to add a cavitation trim. Cla-Station is a pressure-reducing valve station and hydraulic modeling tool showing performance based on flow and pressure parameter inputs.
The software uses color-coded graphs, tables, and charts for easy analysis. Built-in calculators allow users to input their data and run different scenarios to determine if and what they need to adjust. For example, Cla-Power has a power consumption calculator that allows for all electrical products at a site, or in a vault, to be added with their daily
