Why FlowCosta

Traditional flow sizing is done using spreadsheets, outdated desktop tools or expensive licensed software that requires IT support to install and maintain. FlowCosta changes this — it is web-native, always up to date with the latest standards, and accessible from any browser on any device.

With FlowCosta, an engineer can complete a full DP flow element sizing — including uncertainty budget, straight length report and Flow vs DP graph — in minutes rather than hours. Every calculation is traceable, every project is stored securely, and every report is ready to attach to your engineering deliverable package.
