The dependence of collective nuclear flow on multiplicity and beam energy for Ca + Ca, Nb + Nb, and Au + Au collisions has been measured with the Plastic Ball detector at the Bevalac. Event by event the data are analyzed with the transverse-momentum method and a new quantitative measure of the flow effect is extracted. It is expected that comparison of the present systematic results with model calculations will lead to a more precise determination of the nuclear-matter equation of state.
