User reviews

Only seems useful for 1 appliance

This app only seems useful for 1 appliance, it doesn’t seem of any use at all when needing to size a normal domestic set up with a gas fire, cooker & boiler (for example.). I know how to input the data but there’s no tutorials and weirdly the input sections and summary are written in black ink with a black background or white ink style with a white background making it very difficult to read

Does exactly what it says on the can. Ideal quick calculator without getting bogged down with complicated charts.
Another reviewer commented that you’d have to know exactly what you’re doing to use this app.......I should hope so, you want non gas registered people installing your gas supply pipe work?????

Basic pipe calculator

Basic straight length calculator where it is up to the user to calculate effective pipe length and make their own allowance for bends and fittings.

The user will need to do a carcass drawing and note pressure drop and check index runs do not exceed 1mb drop on nat gas.

Tends to allow pressure drop of up to 0.5mb on each length and would be useful if it calculated down to .15 drop as if you various branches on larger pipe work.

This needs to be used by someone that knows exactly what they are doing.

Have used others where the carcass could be input inc branches and end loads and then changes made automatically resize whole project.
