iMapIt Pro vs HydroCalc Plus

Use your iPhone / iPad's GPS to map, measure or simply record places important to you. Your device will be a GPS receiver and will collect geographic coordinates wherever you are. GPS needs satellite’s visibility. Thus, the more open your space, the better the accuracy of measurements. * Geographic coordinates collection formats: . Points - Mark specific places with a point, such as the place you most like to go to, or the starting point of a race, or even the point where you saw a rare bird; . Lines or paths - A sequence of points forming a line to mark a trail where you have walked, or the path you have taken on a run, or the path to your new house, either the location of a new fence you want to build. All mapped lines are measured for you in metric and imperial units; . Areas or polygons - A sequence of points, forming a closed region, to mark land that you are interested in buying, or show the map of your land, or measure the outline of your new house, or delimit the region where you want to build a pool. All mapped areas are calculated for you in metric, imperial and Thai units; * How to collect coordinates: . Manually: You position yourself and tap the MapIt button to collect a coordinate; . Automatically by Time: A coordinate is collected at each defined time interval; . Automatically by Distance: A coordinate is collected at each interval of a pre-defined distance; . Automatically by Direction: A coordinate is collected each time you change the direction of your displacement at an angle greater than a defined limit; * Presentation within iMapIt: Points, lines and polygons can be represented by different types of pins, colors, strokes and fills. * Export your surveys: . In these formats: DXF, KML, GPX or CSV; . Using these projections: UTM or Gauss Krüger, or directly the collected geographical coordinates; . Sending via: eMail, or directly from your device via iTunes (cable), or even more professionally, transferring to a Web server previously prepared to receive them; * Editing functions of surveys performed: . Feature duplication; . Union of existing features; . Division of a feature in two; . Deletion of unwanted coordinates; . Automatic cleaning of unnecessary points; . Move a feature to a new project; Disclaimer on the accuracy of the surveys: All points, paths or areas are surveyed using the GPS accuracy of your device. This is not a professional precision GPS equipment. So your surveys may vary when compared to the actual dimensions.

The COMPLETE version of HydroCalc, with what the free app doesn't have: the FITTINGS SELECTOR. Pick elbows, valves, tees and reducers piece by piece and the app computes minor losses for you — in the calculator, the inverse calculator and the system curve. No K-value tables, no transcription errors. ALL INCLUDED: pump power, system curve, pipe database and Darcy-Weisbach with real fluids come with the app. One purchase, no in-app purchases. Professional hydraulic engineering tool for calculating pressure losses in piping systems. Essential for engineers, plumbers, and contractors designing water distribution networks. Key Features: Calculate friction head losses using industry-standard Hazen-Williams equation Support for both US (ft, gpm, psi) and SI (m, lps, bar) units Extensive pipe material library with pre-defined roughness coefficients (C-factors) Complete fittings and valves database including elbows, tees, valves, contractions, and expansions Inverse calculations to determine optimal pipe diameter, flow rate, or length for target head loss Real-time results showing velocity, friction loss, minor losses, and total system head loss What Sets Plus Apart: Unlike basic calculators, HydroCalc Plus accounts for both major losses (pipe friction) and minor losses (fittings and valves). The app includes a comprehensive database of K-factors for various components, allowing accurate total system pressure loss calculations. Perfect For: Water supply system design Irrigation network planning HVAC piping calculations Fire protection systems Industrial fluid transport Educational purposes in hydraulic engineering Technical Capabilities: The app considers all critical factors affecting pressure loss: flow velocity, pipe diameter, internal roughness, pipe length, and fitting configurations. Materials include PVC, polyethylene, steel, cast iron, concrete, and more with accurate C-factors ranging from 120-150. Inverse Calculation Mode: Unique feature allowing backward calculations - determine required pipe size for allowable head loss, maximum flow capacity, or optimal pipe length for your system constraints. Simple, intuitive interface with instant results. No internet connection required. Professional-grade calculations in your pocket. Note: the advanced modules are available in English and Spanish.
