Pirform 2025.3 Ring Circuits

This article describes an upcoming release of Pirform, version 2025.3. This version is a pre-release version available now, and the full release will be available close to Easter 2025.

Return of the ring

We have brought back the previous method of handling of ring final circuits to Pirform's intelligence.

In versions from 2025.3 onwards you can tell Pirform that the circuit is a ring final circuit simply by entering the word "ring" in the circuit designation. Pirform intelligence will use the relevant guidance to determine whether the circuit is correctly sized.
