## What is HVAC Sizer?

HVAC Sizer sizes ductwork and piping as fast as you can type a flow. Enter the airflow, GPM or lb/h, and the right size appears instantly, checked against your friction and velocity limits.

Built by a mechanical engineer for engineers, designers and contractors who size duct and pipe every day and want an answer in seconds, not a spreadsheet.

DUCTWORK
• Round, rectangular and flat oval
• One-tap presets for LP supply, MP supply and return/exhaust, each with its own friction and velocity limits
• Rectangular and flat oval options within your maximum aspect ratio, with the least-sheet-metal size marked
• Lock a depth or minor axis, up to 288 inches, for tight ceiling space; the app solves the other dimension
• Darcy-Weisbach friction with the Colebrook equation, corrected for altitude and air temperature
• Equivalent diameter, velocity and friction for every option

PIPING
• Hydronic: water, ethylene glycol or propylene glycol from 0 to 100%, at any fluid temperature, with viscosity, specific gravity and freezing point shown
• Domestic water: cold and hot, friction in psi per 100 ft
• Steam: saturated steam at any pressure from vacuum to 600 psig, with limits that switch automatically between low and high pressure
• Steel Sch 40/80, copper K/L/M, PEX, PVC, CPVC and HDPE, with true inside diameters
• Separate velocity limits for 2 inches and under and over 2 inches

CONDENSATE
• Two-phase returns sized on flash steam, with flash fraction, flash steam and liquid shown
• Gravity liquid lines sized with Manning's equation for your slope and maximum depth of flow

SEE THE MARGIN, NOT JUST THE SIZE
Every result shows how close it is to each limit, colored green, amber or red. Nearby sizes are listed, so you can step up or down with one tap. The app tells you whether friction or velocity governs.

BATCH SIZING
• Add any result to a running schedule with a tag such as S-1 or P-12; tags count up automatically
• Keep separate schedules for each project
• Tap a row to add notes, or reopen it in its sizer to re-size
• Export a CSV, or copy the schedule and paste it straight into Excel

YOUR STANDARDS, SAVED
Every default can be changed and is saved on your device: friction and velocity limits, materials, glycol mix, fluid temperatures, aspect ratio, steam pressure split, condensate slope and more. Switch between IP and SI units at any time.

MADE FOR SPEED
• Number pad on every field, with Done to dismiss it; tapping a field selects its value so you can just type
• Works on iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo, folded or unfolded, with side-by-side inputs and results on larger screens
• Light and dark mode
• No account, no ads, no internet connection needed

Results are engineering estimates based on standard methods and published fluid properties. Always verify final designs against applicable codes, standards and manufacturer data.
