# Pipe Scaling

FluidFlow contains a database of scaling factors for each type of pipe material which can be used when modelling existing systems. There are four options to choose from: None, Low, Medium & Heavy. You may choose not to use the database scaling factors and enter your own specific values based on available system knowledge. Figure 1 provides an overview of the database of pipe scaling categories which can be accessed by selecting: Database | Pipe Scaling. Figure 1: Pipe Scaling Database.
