HVAC Pipe Sizer - Gas Plus vs Natural Gas Pipe Size Usage & Stats
The "HVAC Pipe Sizer - Gas Plus" application allows you to quickly size a simple low (less than or equal to 1.5 psi) and/or high (greater than 1.5 psi) pressure gas piping system by inputting a number of piping and gas properties. This application combines the functionality of our popular "HVAC Pipe Sizer - Gas Low" and "HVAC Pipe Sizer - Gas High" applications.
This app is now a universal app meaning that it works on both the iPhone and iPad and adjusts its screen size accordingly.
For low pressure gas piping, you can specify the total gas flow in ft3/hr (m3/hr) and one of either pressure drop (in. wg or Pa), pipe internal diameter (inches) or gas velocity (ft/s) parameters. The results include both the exact and nominal pipe diameters and the calculated velocity and total pipe equivalent length. If you are analyzing an existing pipe system, there is an option to input the existing pipe internal diameter and one of either pressure drop or gas velocity parameters to derive the calculated gas flow and other remaining properties.
For high pressure gas piping, you can specify the total gas flow in ft3/hr (m3/hr), the upstream pressure (psig or kPa), and one of either downstream pressure (psig or kPa), pipe internal diameter (inches) or gas velocity (ft/s) parameters. The results include both the exact and nominal pipe diameters and the calculated velocity and total pipe equivalent length. If you are analyzing an existing pipe system, there is an option to input the existing pipe internal diameter, the upstream pressure, and one of either downstream pressure or gas velocity parameters to derive the calculated gas flow and other remaining properties.
You can specify additional parameters such as the type of gas, various properties of the gas, the pipe material type, the total length of pipe, quantities for up to 11 different types of pipe fittings, and much more. You can also choose to display values in either english or metric units.
This application includes built-in pipe fitting equivalent length and nominal pipe sizing tables for a wide variety of pipe material types and diameters.
This application uses slider controls that allow you to quickly increment or decrement the input values and immediately observe the calculated results. You can also manually input exact values.
This app now includes the HVAC Equipment Locator. Click here for details: http://bit.ly/1yTq539
The "HVAC Pipe Sizer - Gas Plus" application was designed by Carmel Software Corporation, a leader in HVAC design software since 1995. In fact, Autodesk (the makers of AutoCAD) acquired our load calculation software and incorporated it into their leading 3D modeling software called Revit. In addition, we developed a number of customized apps for ASHRAE, DNV GL, and other organizations.
We also offer the following additional apps for the iPhone and iPad:

#### Pipe sizing and pressure drop calculation for natural gas installations made easy
Estimate required pipe diameter for natural gas piping / installations in an instant. Calculate pressure drop for the selected pipe section.
#### Obtain required pipe diameter instantly
The application provides a quick and simple way to obtain required pipe diameter when designing natural gas piping systems.
Only some basic user input is required (heat output and pipe length) and the result is instantaneous and accurate.
#### Wide range of conditions
The application allows to perform calculations at a wide range of conditions, as gas lower heating value, temperature, pressure and location altitude can be set individually in order to get accurate results.
#### Calculate pressure drop easily
After a quick estimate of the recommended standard or nominal pipe size, the user can choose their own diameter, customize pipe material and define fittings and valves to calculate volume flow rate, velocity and pressure drop. The app will notify the user if their chosen diameter is too small.
#### Metric and Imperial units
Natural Gas Pipe Size app can perform calculations using metric or imperial units.
#### Features
- Provides required pipe diameter for a pipe section in an instant;
- Recommended diameter is displayed as a standard DN or nominal NPS;
- Gas working pressure and temperature can be specified;
- Wide range of working conditions (heat output, pressure and temperature);
- Suitable for individual (home) as well as larger, industrial applications;
- Different predefined materials can be selected;
- Fittings and valves can be selected from the list;
- Displays natural gas volume flow rate and pressure drop for selected pipe section;
- Suggests whether the selected pipe diameter might be too small;
- Metric and imperial units;
- No data connection required to perform calculations;
- No ads, no in-app purchases;
#### Note
The application displays results for a pipe section. Calculations for multiple pipe sections should be performed separately.

#### Some reviews
Natural Gas Pipe Size: pipe sizing & pressure drop calculation for natural gas installations
Very helpful natural gas pipe sizing....
I really like this version for sizing natural gas lines. Imperial units are certainly appreciated. Just be sure to reset the fittings section for each section of pipe you checking.

Ich benutze diese App sehr viel und immer mit Erfolg.
Habe die Angaben oft nachgerechnet und sie stimmten immer.
