SlurryBase
Read full descriptionHide full description
SlurryBase is an offline logbook for Material Records and indicative slurry pipeline calculations. Review model applicability, assumptions, citations, warnings, and input basis. The automatic settling policy uses equivalent fluid below critical LDV, a disclosed transition blend through the safety band, and GIW 4-component where its source-audited input policy applies. Outside that policy, uncorrected equivalent fluid remains a screening fallback. Durand and a simplified two-regime settling estimate are comparison/manual options; the full DHLLDV framework is not implemented. Compare Calculation Cases and export PDF/CSV datasheets with their evidence context. Engineering records stay on your device and calculations work offline; purchases, restore, update checks, and external links require connectivity. Verify results against project standards and obtain expert review before design. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Taco Tools at none against SlurryBase's 2. SlurryBase's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
