HydroCalc Plus vs HVAC Toolkit Lite

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 Pro Apart: Unlike basic calculators, HydroCalc Pro 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: Premium modules are available in English and Spanish.

The HVAC ToolKit Lite is an easy-to-use app that has been created to assist HVAC engineers in checking their designs and making quick calculations and estimations. The app includes helpful calculation tools for calculating friction losses in ducting, pipe sizing, parking ventilation, staircase pressurization, and estimating heat loads, pump head, fan ESP, among others, where the user is able to enter the required inputs and is given the calculated output. Each tool also includes instructions and abbreviated formulas that have been used to calculate the results. The app can be set to metric or imperial units and/or to the English or Arabic language. Users are expected to have some knowledge and understanding of HVAC engineering in order to use the tools properly. Users are also expected to check that the results are within an acceptable range for their respective projects.
