Bentley PlantFLOW 6.1

Bentley PlantFLOW is a hydraulic modeling application from Bentley Systems designed for analyzing fluid flow and pressure behavior in process and utility piping networks. Engineers use it to design, size, and troubleshoot plant systems by predicting flow distribution, pressure losses, and equipment performance across pipes, pumps, control valves, and other components. The software supports steady-state analysis of common industrial services—such as water, air, and steam—and helps verify line sizes, balance parallel paths, assess pump operating points and NPSH, and evaluate valve control characteristics. Scenario management enables rapid what-if studies for different operating conditions, supporting debottlenecking and energy-efficiency efforts. PlantFLOW delivers clear tabular and graphical results and works alongside Bentley’s plant design portfolio to streamline the handoff between design and analysis.

Bentley PlantFLOW is developed by Bentley. The most popular version of this product among our users is 6.1. The name of the program executable file is plantflo.exe.
