Function: Conversion of equivalent lengths of fittings into K-factors/Kv values for calculations using variable viscosity (see SpriCAD manual)


For calculations using variable viscosity, the fittings and components must be included in the calculation along with their K-factors/Kv values (power-law model).

Existing equivalent lengths of the components can be converted at the click of a button.
