Profile: Barnes Associates specializes in designing engineering software for design applications including piping, combustion, HVAC, mechanical, thermal process, and refractory systems. Our specialized engineering knowledge, scientific data, complicated equations and formulas are transformed into easy-to-use programs. Inclusion of numerous pre-programmed values eliminates the need to consult outside references for many physical properties, thus freeing from tedious and non-productive work. In addition to providing solutions for new projects, the programs provide data to help analyze and improve existing systems based on present day computer technology, to save energy & utility costs. Worldwide firms using these programs include leaders in aluminum, automotive, chemical, electronic, machinery, petroleum, paper & steel, as well as piping contractors, consulting engineers, universities, public works and energy engineers. Development of these computer programs has evolved into professional and practical solutions for many plant engineering equipment design problems.
