Great pressure loss app

With a bit of fiddling, can get some pretty accurate pressure loss calls.
Would love to see an app were you draw out a piping scheme with your finger and put in pipe lengths and typical piping types like grooved connections or welded etc. similar to TACO's desktop software.

Pretty good piping program

I have been amazed to find this program on the iPhone. While it's not a full blown piping program it never the less gives accurate results for the times I've used it. Just input the basic info such as pipe diameter number and types of fittings, fluid type and it will tell you flow. Or you can use it to find diameter required for a flow. The only issues I have with it are: pressure drop is always given in ft instead of psi. Also it would be really nice if it had a table of pipe sizes to aid data entry. Give me these simple changes and I'll give you 5 stars.

Useful

Nice little app for the office when I don't feel like booting up my laptop. I wish there were more nominal pipe sizes in the database though. Maybe the next version?

Big bugssss

If you set the max limit and increment for data in the pipe inputs window and you come back in the user input windows, the slider control bars indicate different limits.
I'm not able to reset the limits values and the conclusion!!! I can not use this tool. I'm comfused !!

I like the update.

The update looks good. I like the ability to increment values by a certain amount as you move the slider control.

Great app.

I like the simple interface for designing hydronic systems. The calcs appear very accurate after doing some comparisons with my engineering books.

Wrong calcs!!!

I don't need this app, I bought it to see how actually they built this hvac app, and I have to say it's poor work. This souls be very simple calcs and formulas. I tested the app with copper L pipe, fixed pipe diameter, flow and length, and keep changing fittings which should change the total head loss. Surprise!!!! It's doesn't.
So they got the internal formulas or functions wrong. I will not trust this app calcs to size any system. For people who actually worked on this. Please pay some more attention when you build and sell apps. It's just not about releasing an app, it's something people will pay for and expect to get some trusted result.
