DALC vs Trimble® FabShop Mobile Pro

This simple to use but effective application is provided by the Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors’ National Association (SMACNA). This tool allows engineers, architects, designers, and contractors to easily and accurately estimate the leakage of air from ductwork. It also allows a quick and easy way to determine the pass/fail mark for properly specified Duct Air Leakage Tests (DALT). Users can combine multiple sections of ductwork that vary by size and shape to calculate a total allowable leakage. The application uses the method outlined in SMACNA’s HVAC Air Duct Leakage Manual, and provides suggested leakage classes from SMACNA’s latest edition of the manual. The method used is compliant with ASHRAE 90.1, IECC, IGCC Version 2, IMC and the UMC.

With the same comprehensive HVAC duct fitting library as Trimble FabShop, this app allows you enter fitting dimensions and preview in 3D while on the jobsite, reducing the re-work associated with mismanaged or miscalculated hand written notes. Benefits: • Faster transfer of field fitting requests to your shop • Greater accuracy of fitting detail collected in the field • Increase project profit by reducing incorrect fitting waste • Field verify fittings by sending them from the shop to the mobile app Features: • Comprehensive library of fittings from residential to the largest industrial applications • Standard company defaults and fittings from your Trimble FabShop CAM software to your tablet • Consistent intuitive input screens from Trimble FabShop to Trimble® Field Fitting Input • See the dimensional data entered in a 3-D rotational preview taking all the guesswork out of what you expect to receive • Easily see all entered fittings through graphical icons, piece numbers and dimensional data • Notes section allows you to add instructions for the shop and field to assist in the fabrication and installation process • Supports Automatic input methods to speed up fitting entry • Supports shop data configurations from multiple sources. Import configurations from multiple shops or have different configurations for different project types? Not a problem with Trimble FabShop Mobile Pro! NOTE: While this app is free, importing the fitting job into Trimble FabShop does require a FabShop subscription license or a valid software support agreement.
