The HVAC Pipe Sizer Plus application is a combination of three (3) of our individual pipe sizing applications including:
1. HVAC Pipe Sizer - Liquid
2. HVAC Pipe Sizer - Steam
3. HVAC Pipe Sizer - Gas Plus
This app is a universal app that works on both the iPhone and iPad and adjusts its screen size accordingly.
The "HVAC Pipe Sizer - Gas" module allows you to quickly size a simple low (less than or equal to 1.5 psi) and high (greater than 1.5 psi) pressure gas piping system by inputting a number of piping and gas properties.
The "HVAC Pipe Sizer - Steam" module allows you to size a steam pipe run, and it also includes a bonus steam table calculator.
The "HVAC Pipe Sizer - Liquid" module allows you to size a pipe run with many different types of liquids (or fluids), pipe material and fitting types.
This app also includes the HVAC Equipment Locator. Click here for details: http://bit.ly/1yTq539
This application includes all of the great features of the individual pipe sizer apps such as the use of slider controls that allow you to quickly increment or decrement the input values and immediately observe the calculated results. It also allows you to specify different types of liquids, gases, pipe material types, fitting quantities, min and max ranges, and step values. Also, you can display a wide variety of English and Metric units.
The "HVAC Pipe Sizer Plus" application was designed by Carmel Software Corporation, a leader in HVAC design software since 1995. In fact, Autodesk (the makers of AutoCAD) acquired our load calculation software and incorporated it into their leading 3D modeling software called Revit. In addition, we developed a number of customized apps for ASHRAE, DNV GL, and other organizations.
We also offer the following additional apps for the iPhone and iPad:
1. HVAC Residential Load Calcs for iPhone and iPad
2. HVAC Quick Load Plus
3. HVAC Quick Load
4. HVAC Toolkit
5. HVAC Pipe Sizer – Gas Low Pressure
6. HVAC Pipe Sizer - Gas High Pressure
7. HVAC Pipe Sizer – Liquid
8. HVAC Pipe Sizer – Steam
9. Steam Tables
10. Psychrometric Plus
11. Psychrometric LT
12. HVAC Pipe Sizer Plus
13. HVAC Pipe Sizer Gas Plus
14. HVAC Toolkit Ultimate
15. HVAC Equipment Locator
16. HVAC ResLoad-J
17. HVAC Psych HD

What's New in HVAC Pipe Sizer Plus
4.5
April 3, 2023
1. Optimized for iOS 16 and iPhone 14
2. Updated help
I work in HVAC design, and this app works well with other tools used to size piping. It does require background knowledge in order to decide on the selection parameters, but once you get that background this saves a lot of time by consolidating a bunch of pipe sizing resources.
I would make two changes:
For liquid pipe sizing, it is often the case that two limiting parameters (friction & diameter) are used at the same time. The functionality that should be available is to set the app to select the size based on a maximum friction value AND a maximum velocity.
For liquid type, it is common for hydronic systems to use a propylene glycol solution. This is currently not an option in your liquids menu but would help in making pipe selections. I would suggest a liquid type “propylene glycol solution” and simply add a “percentage concentration” of propylene glycol to the liquid parameters within this type.
