This is the easiest duct sizing calculator you’ll ever use. PT Ductulator is a simple, modern duct sizing tool for HVAC technicians, designers, and students. No spinning wheels, no cluttered screens—just clean inputs and instant, easy-to-read results. Whether you’re on a rooftop, in an attic, or at the design desk, Ductulator helps you make fast, confident decisions about duct size, airflow, and comfort. Why it feels so easy - Straightforward layout – Type in what you know, see what you need. No hunting through menus. - Big, readable numbers – Designed for real job sites, not just a desk. - Instant feedback – Adjust a value and see airflow, friction, and velocity update right away. What you can do with it - Size round and rectangular ducts -Enter airflow and your target friction or velocity and get recommended duct sizes in seconds. - Compare duct options - See how changing size affects velocity and friction so you can avoid noise, hot spots, and high static. - Get equivalent round sizes - Convert rectangular duct dimensions to an equivalent round size to compare and explain choices. - Work anywhere All calculations run offline on your device. Perfect for basements, rooftops, and new construction sites. Built for HVAC pros Use Ductulator to: - Double-check proposed duct sizes before installation - Verify existing systems during service calls - Teach apprentices how size, airflow, and friction relate - Have clearer conversations with homeowners, builders, and inspectors If you work with ductwork, this is the ductulator you’ll actually want to use—fast, simple, and always in your pocket.
