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. SuperFlow’s FlowCom (tm) or our Black Box II electronics can automate the entire data recording process.

If you use our Automatic Valve Opener and a motor controller (like a SuperFlow 1020 bench), you can start the test, then sit back and watch as the Port Flow Analyzer runs the entire test.  It will find the tip of the valve and zero itself out, step through all lifts, stabilize a predetermined amount of time, record data and advance to the next lift.  When done, it will return the valve to its seated position, check to see if any slippage has occurred and turn off the bench.  You've got to see this in operation as it is really slick!  And its really accurate and repeatable.  for more info.

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. SuperFlow FlowCom (tm) or our Electronic Interface even eliminate data recording errors.

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, cus-tomer name, etc. When you have completed your testing, detailed and informative reports and color 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 Perfor-mance 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 2004 to March 2005. 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. Like all our software, it can be customized for your specific needs. Please call for a quote.

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.  The Switch Input for the SuperFlow FlowCom (tm) does NOT work if you are using a motor controller (which is very common).  The Port Flow Analyzer v3.5 software allows you plug a switch into a temperature channel to signal data recording should start.  Therefore, you CAN use a switch with the Port Flow Analyzer v3.5 software even if you DO have a motor controller.  

Similar switches are available for our Black Box II.

  

Pitot Tubes are used to measure and "map out" air velocity in the intake and exhaust ports.

 

Major options also include the Swirl Meter and Tumble Fixture, Automatic Valve Opener, and our Black Box II data logger which have their own separate pages on this site.
