Port Flow Analyzer v3.0 for Windows
95/98/Me/XP/2000/NT
Computer Program to electronically,
Record, Save, Graph, Report and Analyze Flow Bench
Data. Works with Swirl Meter and Tumble Adapter.
The Port Flow Analyzer is a computer program designed to
"streamline" the recording, calculating, reporting and graphing of
cylinder head flow bench data. It will make your flow testing
faster, easier, more accurate, and more
professional.
 |
You will use the
latest technology. Power improvements at the "cutting edge"
of racing come from minor improvement in details. For cylinder
heads, these details not only include flow, but port velocity, swirl
and tumble motion. The Port Flow Analyzer (Pro version) has options
for port velocity mapping with a Pitot tube,
swirl and tumble measurement (using our Swirl meter with our
Tumble
adapter), port stability,
etc. |
 |
You don't have to change your test
methods.
Whether you currently use Lift in inches
or L/D increments, special sequences of Lift or L/D increments,
non-standard Test Pressures, barometer, temperature, port velocity
in pressure (" water) or velocity (ft/sec) etc., the Port Flow
Analyzer can be set up for most any test
procedure. |
 |
You save time entering data. The Port Flow Analyzer has many options which
copy data that are likely to repeat from 1 head or test to another
or from 1 port to another. Your data sheet may be mostly complete
before you even start. This partially completed data sheet is also a
handy guide, directing you as to what Lift, Flow Range and Test
Pressure to set. |
 |
You'll never
use a calculator again. When sufficient data are available for a Valve
Lift (or L/D point), CFM is calculated and graphed, with appropriate
corrections made for leakage and test pressure variations (and
temperature difference and bench calibration if needed)
|
 |
You minimize
mistakes. The high resolution CFM graph lets you double check points
which look "out of line" while running the test. Math errors are a
thing of the past. |
 |
You’ll make a professional impression. The Port Flow Analyzer groups from
1 to 8 cylinders together as a head. You can record numerous details
about head components (springs, valves, locks, etc.),
bore/intake/exhaust adapters, customer name, etc. When you have
completed your testing, detailed and informative reports and colour
graphs are only keystrokes away. You, your employees and your
customers will appreciate their clear, detailed and professional
appearance. |
 |
You will see why some heads make more power than
others. Reports
are available on the screen, from a printer or as an ASCII disk
file. Reports can consist of Raw or Calculated results, for one
cylinder, all cylinders or averaged over the entire head. Calculated
results consist of: CFM corrected to most any test pressure, Valve
Area, CFM per Square Inch, Flow Coefficient, Valve Velocity, Port
Velocity, Swirl, Port Mapping, Stability and %
Exhaust/Intake. |
 |
You can compare various
head/cam/engine combinations for the desired type of
performance. The Port Flow
Analyzer (Pro version) can combine cylinder head flow data with
basic engine and cam specs to make Performance Estimates. These
reports include: Intake and Exhaust Flow Areas (combining flow
curves with valve lift curves), Lobe Area, Total % Exhaust/Intake,
Idle Vacuum, Potential Peak Tq and HP Levels and RPMs, Air Flow
Requirements and Volumetric Efficiency, Recommended Intake Runner
Lengths, Diameters, Port Volumes, and much more.
|
 |
You can graph and compare flow data from several different
heads. Graphs can be of CFM or most
any calculated result (CFM, swirl, flow coef., etc.) vs Lift or L/D
for intake, exhaust, or intake & exhaust. Comparison Graphs
allow you to graph data from several different ports or heads for
comparisons. Comparison reports are also
available.
|
 |
You can "database" your heads for fast
retrieval and comparisons. The Port Flow Analyzer (Pro version) lets you
record many items about the heads you are flowing, including Head #,
customer and operator name, about 60 head component details,
comments, etc. The program remembers the maximum intake and exhaust
flow for all heads tested. You can search through all your tests for
these items. For example, you could look for all tests for Customer
"Johnson" that had the letters "FM" in the Int Valve Seal part #
that were run between January 1998 to March 2000. Or look for all
heads that had the word "Dart" in the test comments that flowed more
than 250 CFM on the Intake at 28". For shops who run many flow
tests, this is a great way to stay organized.
|
 |
You will stay up to date. The Port Flow Analyzer is already
compatible with the Engine Analyzer Pro v2.1 D (or later) for
Windows. Like all our software, it can be customized for your
specific needs. Please call for a quote.
|
You can upgrade to the Pro Version’s Additional
Features:
The Pro version lets you
record:
 |
Additional flow data like CFM variation (identifying
"unstable" ports), Swirl and Swirl variation, Tumble and Tumble
variation, Port velocities from Pitot tube readings, Barometer,
Temperature (even if its not needed for corrections),
Humidity.
|
 |
More Head specs like Intake and Exhaust stem diameter, throat
diameter, port shape, seat angle, port volume and more. |
 |
Over 60 head details like valve spring specs and part #s,
valve specs and part #s, seat cutter descriptions, lock
descriptions, retainer descriptions, and much more. |
 |
Combine your flow data with simple cam and engine specs for
more detailed analysis and engine performance estimates. |
 |
Customize printed reports and especially graphs. You can
include comments for each head graphed and tables of the actual data
graphed. |
 |
Write ASCII files. |
 |
Filter (find) past tests based on certain criteria, like Max
Int CFM, Customer name, dates, etc. |
 |
"History Log", keeps a running log of tests you have recently
started new, run, graphed or
reported. |
 |
Much
more. |
You Get a Quality Product:
The Port Flow
Analyzer comes with a 160 page manual, on screen help, and FREE phone tech
support during and after business hours. What You Need:
IBM or
compatible computer with Windows 95, 98, Me, XP, 2000 or NT.
What You Get: Program CD with 170 page manual in PDF format on the
CD. Several example test files preloaded in the Example library for you to
start with.
Other Port Flow Analyzer Options
You can purchase a foot or hand switch to activate
recording rather than pressing a key board key or clicking with the
mouse.
Pitot Tubes are used to measure and "map out" air
velocity in the intake and exhaust ports.
