Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents. Includes cash and cash equivalents associated with the entity's continuing operations. Excludes cash and cash equivalents associated with the disposal group (and discontinued operation).

- Definition
Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents. Includes cash and cash equivalents associated with the entity's continuing operations. Excludes cash and cash equivalents associated with the disposal group (and discontinued operation).

| Basis of Presentation [Abstract] | |
| Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation In the opinion of the management of Flow International Corporation (the “Company”), the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (“financial statements”) are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures usually found in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011. The preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Company’s financial statements. Operating results for the three and six months ended October 31, 2011 may not be indicative of future results. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying value of the Company’s current assets and liabilities approximate fair values due to the short-term maturity of these assets and liabilities. Nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis that are included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets consist of long-lived assets, including cost-method investments and long-term subordinated notes issued to OMAX Corporation ("OMAX"). Certain of the Company's nonfinancial assets are measured at fair value when impairment indicators exist. Due to significant unobservable inputs, the fair value measures used to evaluate impairment and to calculate a prevailing market interest rate are Level 3 inputs. The carrying amount of these nonfinancial assets measured on a nonrecurring basis approximates fair value unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements. |

| Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements [Abstract] | |
| Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (“or ASU 2011-05”). The new guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. Instead, an entity will be required to present either a continuous statement of net income and other comprehensive income or two separate but consecutive statements. The new guidance will be effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2013. Adoption of the new guidance will not change the components that are reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income, it will only revise the manner in which comprehensive income is presented in the financial statements. In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement. The FASB issued the new guidance to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. This ASU clarifies existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements, amends certain fair value measurement principles and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. This new guidance will be effective for the Company beginning in the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year. Other than requiring additional disclosures, the Company does not anticipate the adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact on the financial statements. |

The Company has a $25.0 million Credit Facility that matures March 2, 2014. The agreement requires the Company to maintain the following financial covenants:
A violation of any of the covenants above would result in an event of default and accelerate the repayment of all unpaid principal and interest and the termination of any letters of credit. The Company was in compliance with all its financial covenants as of October 31, 2011. All of the Company's domestic assets and certain interests in some foreign subsidiaries are pledged as collateral under the three-year Credit Facility Agreement. In addition, the terms of the Credit Facility Agreement limit the Company's ability to pay dividends. Interest on the Credit Facility is based on the bank’s prime rate or LIBOR rate plus a percentage spread between 0.00% and 2.25% depending on whether it uses the bank’s prime rate or LIBOR rate and based on the Company’s current leverage ratio. The Company also pays an annual letter of credit fee ranging from 1.25% to 2.25% of the amount available to be drawn under each outstanding stand-by letter of credit. The annual letter of credit fee is payable quarterly in arrears and varies depending on the Company's leverage ratio. As of October 31, 2011, the Company had $20.8 million available under its Credit Facility, net of $2.4 million in outstanding borrowings and $1.8 million in outstanding letters of credit. Revolving Credit Facilities in Taiwan The Company has two unsecured commitments in Taiwan of $1.3 million and $1.7 million bearing interest at 2.4% and 3.0% per annum, respectively.

| Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Warranty Obligations The Company believes that its warranty accrual as of October 31, 2011, which is included in the Other Accrued Liabilities line item in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, is sufficient to cover expected warranty costs. The following table presents the fiscal year 2012 year-to-date activity for the Company’s warranty obligations:
Legal Proceedings At any time, the Company may be involved in legal proceedings arising in the normal course of conducting business. The Company's policy is to routinely assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes related to legal matters, as well as ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of the reserves required, if any, for these contingencies is based on historical experience and after analysis of each known issue. The Company records reserves related to legal matters for which it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the range of such loss can be estimated. With respect to other matters, management has concluded that a loss is only reasonably possible or remote and, therefore, no liability is recorded. Management discloses the facts regarding material matters assessed as reasonably possible and potential exposure, if determinable. Costs incurred defending claims are expensed as incurred. Other than those described below, the Company does not believe that the resolution of any such matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In litigation arising out of a June 2002 incident at a Crucible Metals' (“Crucible”) facility, the Company's excess insurance carrier is contesting its obligation to provide coverage for property damage. The suits over insurance coverage, Flow Autoclave Systems, Inc., Flow Pressure Systems, ABB Pressure Systems, Avure Technologies AB and Avure Technologies, Inc. v. Lumbermens Mutual Casualty and Kemper Insurance Co., and Lumbermens Mutual Casualty Company v. Flow International Corporation, Flow Autoclave Systems, Inc., Flow Pressure Systems, ABB Pressure Systems, Avure Technologies AB and Avure Technologies, Inc., were originally filed in Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Onondaga, Index No. 2005-2126 in 2005, and sought a declaratory judgment of the rights of the parties under the insurance policy issued by the carrier. The carrier, Lumbermens Mutual Casualty Company, has settled the claims relating to this incident for a total of approximately $3.4 million and is now seeking a declaratory judgment that it was not obligated to pay the claim, Lumberment Mutual Casualty Company v. Flow International Corporation, Flow Autoclave Systems, Inc., Flow Pressure Systems, ABB Pressure Systems, Avure Technologies AB, Avure Technologies, Inc., Travelers Property Casualty Company of America and Zurich American Insurance Company as subrogees of Crucible Materials Corporation, and Crucible Materials Corporation, filed in United States District Court for the Northern District of New York on August 13, 2008, case number 08-CV-865. The Company intends to vigorously contest the carrier's claim; however, the ultimate outcome or likelihood of this specific claim cannot be determined at this time and an unfavorable outcome ranging from $0 to $3.4 million is reasonably possible. Other Claims or Assessments In fiscal year 2009, the Company was notified by the purchaser of its Avure business (reported as a discontinued operation for the year ended April 30, 2006), that the Swedish Tax Authority was conducting an audit which included periods when the Company had owned the business. In the sale agreements, the Company made commitments to indemnify the purchaser for certain claims, including tax matters relating to the periods when it owned the business. The Swedish tax authority concluded its audit and issued a final report in November 2009 initially asserting that Avure owes 19.5 million Swedish Krona in additional taxes, penalties and fines. In April 2010, the Company filed an appeal to contest the Swedish Tax Authority's assertion. Since the filing of the Company's appeal, there has been further correspondence with the Swedish tax authorities as the Company continues to contest the findings. A charge was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 related to the periods when the Company owned Avure. This charge was accounted for as an adjustment to the loss on the disposal of the Avure business and is reported as a charge to discontinued operations in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of October 31, 2011, the Company has accrued $1.3 million related to the Avure matter. The balance of the accrued liability will fluctuate period over period with changes in foreign currency rates until such time as the matter is ultimately resolved. |

| Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) per Share | Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) per Share Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing income (loss) from continuing operations by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing income (loss) from continuing operations by the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares include the dilutive effects of outstanding stock options and non-vested stock units except where their inclusion would be antidilutive. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted income (loss) from continuing operations per share for the respective three and six months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010:
There were 2.4 million and 2.3 million potentially dilutive common shares from employee stock options and restricted stock units which were excluded from the diluted weighted average per share calculation for the respective three and six months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, as their effect would be antidilutive. |

| Income Taxes [Abstract] | |
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes For the three and six months ended October 31, 2011, the Company recorded income tax expense of $2.1 million and $2.2 million compared to income tax expense of $0.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively in the same period last year. For the three and six months ended October 31, 2010, the relationship between income tax expense and income before taxes was not customary as the Company recorded the impact of a $1.9 million repatriation treated as a dividend for income tax purposes and the tax impact of losses from subsidiaries for which a full valuation allowance is maintained. The Company anticipates generating sufficient future taxable income to realize the benefits of its U.S. and certain of its foreign deferred tax assets while continuing to provide a full valuation allowance against its net operating losses and other net deferred tax assets in certain other foreign tax jurisdictions. The Company's valuation allowance, which was $9.3 million at October 31, 2011 and $9.7 million April 30, 2011, is mainly attributable to foreign net operating losses. Most of the foreign losses can be carried forward indefinitely, with certain amounts expiring between fiscal years 2014 and 2017. As of October 31, 2011, the Company has not made a provision for U.S. or additional foreign withholding taxes for the excess of the financial reporting carrying value over the tax basis of investments in foreign subsidiaries with the exception of its subsidiaries in Taiwan, Japan, and Switzerland for which it provides deferred taxes. |
