PipeSizer
Read full descriptionHide full description
PipeSizer helps piping and process engineers screen pipe diameters quickly using flow rate, pipe material, schedule, liner, and traceable velocity ranges. Enter your design conditions and PipeSizer ranks candidate nominal pipe sizes by calculated velocity. The result highlights the best candidate, effective internal diameter, velocity status, and nearby alternatives so you can compare options without rebuilding a spreadsheet. KEY FEATURES • Rank candidate pipe diameters from your flow rate • Compare velocity against traceable recommended ranges • Support for clean water, process fluids, slurry, and utility lines • Carbon steel, stainless steel, HDPE, and common schedules or DR values • Optional liner allowance • SI and Imperial units • Save and reopen sizing results • Share results using the iOS share sheet • Send selected pipe data to Pump Mate • English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese • Fully functional offline PipeSizer is free and designed for fast engineering screening in the office or field. ENGINEERING NOTICE PipeSizer is a screening aid. Verify final selections against project criteria, applicable codes, manufacturer data, and a qualified engineering review.
Easy Duct
This app calculates air duct sizes for HVAC design. It solves for missing values like airflow or head loss, allowing users to set multiple limits simultaneously. Results are presented with buildable size steps and detailed engineering data, functioning fully offline.
- Airflow, head loss, velocity, or duct size calculation
- Simultaneous head loss and velocity limit checking
- Buildable size steps for fabrication
- Offline functionality
- IP and SI unit conversion
- Multiple friction models and engineering data

Easy Duct is an air duct sizing calculator built by an HVAC engineer for real design work. Enter what you know and get a buildable duct size in seconds, on site or at your desk. Easy Duct solves for whatever is missing: airflow, head loss, velocity or duct size. Set a maximum head loss and a maximum velocity together, and the duct is sized to whichever limit is reached first. The governing limit is always named, so you know exactly why you got that size. SIZE THE WAY YOU DESIGN - Head loss and velocity limits checked at the same time - Rectangular and round duct, with aspect ratio shown for every size - Buildable size steps (½, 1 or 2 in) so results match what gets fabricated - EN 1506 standard sizes for metric round duct - Pick any duct size and see its spare capacity live SAFETY FACTOR AND ADD TO FLOW - Apply a flow safety factor that is built into the design flow - Adding a branch or outlet? Type the extra airflow and it goes straight onto the total CROSS-CHECK: TWO SCENARIOS, ONE DUCT Size a single duct against two sets of conditions, such as normal and peak operation. Link Scenario B to Scenario A by percentage, added value, equal or absolute, and see side-by-side results with the scenario that governs named up front. UNITS YOUR WAY - Switch between IP and SI with one tap - Tap any unit to change it, field by field: a mm duct with L/s or cfm airflow is fine ENGINEERING YOU CAN CHECK - Darcy-Weisbach with your choice of friction model: Colebrook, Haaland or Altshul - Duct wall roughness by material - Air density and viscosity from temperature and altitude - Full results: design flow, velocity, head loss, equivalent diameter, required round size, cross-section, Reynolds number, friction factor and velocity pressure SIMPLE AND FAST - Minimal interface with results that fold away until you need them - Works fully offline - Also available on Windows and Android Easy Duct is for HVAC and mechanical engineers, designers, estimators and students who size ductwork every day and want a quick, reliable answer.
