HVAC Buddy Duct Calc

Fast, Powerful duct analysis!

For less than the cost of a cardboard wheel ductulator always have a fast, accurate way to analyze ducts for design (by Airflow) or existing installations (by Size).

Airflow Tab
• Calc decimal & rounded sizes for any aspect ratio
• Solve for Volume, Aspect Ratio, Friction, or Velocity

Size Tab
• Calc Friction and Velocity given duct size

Settings Tab:
• Enter various units - Airflow (cfm, m3/s, l/s, m3/hr) Friction (in/100', Pa/30m), Duct Sizing (in, cm), Velocity (ft/min, m/s)
• Define standard air - Altitude (ft, meter), Temperature (Fahrenheit, Celsius), Relative Humidity (pct)
• Displays calculated Kinematic Viscosity (ft2/s) and Specific Volume (ft3/lb)

Material Types:
• PVC
• Aluminum
• Galvanized Steel
• Spiral Steel
• Smooth Liner
• Fiber Liner
• Flex Duct

Duct Shapes:
• Round
• Rectangular
• Oval

Duct Sizing
• Round to Even Units
• Round to Odd Units

Calculations are based on friction loss equations recommended in the ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals 2009.
