Rapid HVAC Pipe Sizing 1.04
A quick, simple to use HVAC (or otheruses)pipe sizing tool which does the engineering work for you.RapidHVAC Pipe Sizing can determine pipe sizes for a varietyofmaterials with copper pipe, steel pipe and plastic pipestandardsfor the United States, (ASME), Europe (EN) and Australia(AS) allincluded within the calculations, for selection asdesired.Standard water fluid properties are included nativelywithin thecalculations, so you don't need to go searching fordensities andviscosities, just tell Rapid HVAC Pipe Sizing whattemperature thewater is and you are set!This is the quickest and easiest to use pipe sizing calculatoronGoogle Play. Just punch the water flow rate (in L/s, CFM, US GPMorUK GPM) into the numpad and choose between your sizing criteria.Youcan swap between 3 different temperature settings and 3differentmaterials on the fly with a single button press. Tap anyof theunits displayed and you can change them instantly, settingyourvelocity (m/s, FPS or FPM), diameter (mm or inches), pressuredrop(Pa/m or psi/ft) and temperature (celsius or fahrenheit) unitstosuit your preferences. The friction factor used in calculatingthepressure drop is determined through an iterative solution oftheColebrook equation as recommended by ASHRAE, so it is themostaccurate method you can use. Water density and pressurearecalculated internally through a standard water propertiestablebased on the temperatures you set, so you don't need to messaroundpulling these together yourself like in other pressuredropcalculators.When it comes to pipe standards, often the nominal diameterisquite different to the actual real inside diameter of the pipe.SoRapid HVAC Pipe Sizing is preloaded with the actualinternaldiameters that American, European and Australian standardsrequire.It uses these inside its calculations, but tells you theresultingnominal diameter so you can get the right size copperpipe, steelpipe or plastic pipe.Rapid HVAC Pipe Sizing isn't just for HVAC engineers though.Thepipe sizing methods are also equally applicable to hydraulicpipe,fire pipe and other water flow applications. Due to its easeofuse, it is great for pipe installers looking to check theircopperpipe, steel pipe or plastic pipe sizes. BuildingServicesconsultants use it for rapid sizing of pipes in their HVACandhydraulic pipe designs. HVAC contractors use it to sizetheirpiping to suit the project specific sizing criteria.Architects useit to check how much riser space needs to beallocated to HVAC andhydraulic trades.Pipe materials included:United States Copper pipe type K, L and M (per ASTM B88)Australian Copper piping type A and B (per AS 1432)European Copper piping (per EN 1057) - Table X andYequivalentsUnited States Steel pipe Standard and Extra Strong types(perANSI/ASME B36.10) – with in-app upgradeEuropean Steel pipe L2, Medium and Heavy types (per EN 10255) –within-app upgradeAustralian Steel pipe Medium and Heavy types (per AS1074) butnotethat US steel standards are commonly used in Australia as well–with in-app upgradeUnited States plastic pipe PEX (per ASTM F876) – within-appupgradeFunctions included:Size HVAC or other water pipe to suit a particular water flowrate,maximum velocity and pressure dropSelection criteria can be varied to suit your project, with3different options selectable on the flyDensity and viscosity used in pressure drop calculationcalculatedautomatically based on the selected temperature (3settings tochoose between)Customise the temperature settings to suit your project –within-app upgradeSelect from 7 different copper pipe standards to match yourlocalconditionsSelect from 7 different steel piping standards and one plasticpipestandard to suit your project requirements – within-appupgradeAll units used can be changed to suit your local requirements(waterflow, velocity, pressure drop, temperature, diameter)
