Emerson Process Management has released an updated version of its Fisher Specification Manager software, enhancing ease of use and adding flexibility to the widely-utilised valve selection tool. Designed for engineers who select and specify control valves, the software features a clear, sequential process to tasks such as building ISA specification sheets, predicting valve operating noise levels and exporting dimensional data for Fisher and Baumann control valves.
Enhancements to the software include the addition of a port diameter attribute to the trim details grid as well as updated product data and literature. The newly revised Fisher IEC valve sizing engine now includes inlet temperature for liquid sizing, while faster download and installation of software changes are now possible thanks to a new quick update feature within the Help menu. A ‘What’s New’ menu option allows one-click access to the latest software changes.
