DuctPro is the professional HVAC duct sizing calculator built for field technicians and MEP engineers. Get engineering-grade results in seconds — offline, no subscription. RESULTS IN 3 TAPS Enter airflow, select duct type, get the size. Round, rectangular, flat oval, and flexible ducts. Size by friction rate or air velocity. A color-coded performance badge tells you instantly if your duct is optimal, too fast, too slow, or at risk. ENGINEERING-GRADE ENGINE Calculations use the Darcy-Weisbach friction equation with Colebrook-White solver — the industry-standard method for duct design. Nine material types with published roughness values: galvanized steel (spiral & rectangular), flexible duct (metallic & non-metallic), fiberglass duct board, fibrous glass liner, PVC, aluminum, and concrete. FITTINGS & PRESSURE DROP Calculate total system pressure drop including straight run and all fittings. Ten fitting types with industry-standard loss coefficients: 90° and 45° elbows (round and rectangular), mitered elbow, tee branch and straight-through, concentric reduction, enlargement, and butterfly damper. PRO MODE Unlock full 2D lookup tables for rectangular elbows and concentric reductions, plus A/B ratio selector for flat oval ducts. Bilinear interpolation for accurate results at any H/W or area-ratio geometry. ORGANIZE YOUR WORK Save calculations with a custom name and notes. Group them into color-coded projects. Export individual calculations as text or PDF, and full projects as CSV. Search your entire history in one tap. IMPERIAL & METRIC Switch between I-P and SI units at any time.
