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 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 Refrigerant PT™ is the pressure–temperature reference built for working HVAC/R technicians and engineers. PT charts, superheat and subcooling calculations, and refrigerant data for 55 refrigerants — fast, accurate, and fully offline. No account, no ads, no internet required at the job site. PRESSURE–TEMPERATURE CHARTS Scroll or jump to any temperature and read saturation pressure instantly. Zeotropic blends show bubble (liquid) and dew (vapor) pressures side by side on the same line, so you charge and troubleshoot with the correct value — not an average. Temperature glide is right where you need it. SUPERHEAT & SUBCOOLING CALCULATOR Enter your gauge pressure and line temperature to get measured superheat or subcooling in seconds. For fixed-orifice systems, enter indoor wet-bulb and outdoor dry-bulb to get target superheat and a clear charge verdict. TXV/EEV systems check subcooling against the manufacturer's target. A reverse saturation lookup converts any pressure to its bubble and dew temperatures. REFRIGERANT DATA Every refrigerant includes classification, safety rating, cylinder color code, critical temperature and pressure, liquid and vapor density, specific heat, heat of vaporization, ozone depletion potential, GWP, common applications, and recommended lubricant. YOUR UNITS, YOUR STANDARDS Fahrenheit or Celsius. Seven pressure units: psig, psia, kPa, inHg, atm, bara, barg — matched to your gauges and local code. 55 REFRIGERANTS R-11, R-12, R-13, R-22, R-23, R-32, R-123, R-124, R-134a, R-290, R-401A, R-401B, R-402A, R-402B, R-403B, R-404A, R-407A, R-407C, R-407F, R-408A, R-409A, R-410A, R-414B, R-416A, R-417A, R-417C, R-422A, R-422B, R-422C, R-422D, R-427A, R-430A, R-431A, R-436A, R-438A, R-448A, R-449A, R-452A, R-452B, R-454B, R-454C, R-455A, R-500, R-502, R-503, R-507, R-508B, R-513A, R-514A, R-600a, R-717, R-744, R-1233zd, R-1234yf, R-1234ze From legacy CFCs and HCFCs for service work to today's low-GWP A2L refrigerants (R-32, R-454B, R-1234yf) and naturals (R-290 propane, R-717 ammonia, R-744 CO₂) — the refrigerants on your truck are in here.
