Calculation Accuracy has two options:
- Closest Output: Head Loss or Velocity Values for Calculated ducts is the nearest values to user input values with minimum difference.
- Strict Calculations: Head Loss or Velocity Values for Calculated ducts is always below user input values.
- Duct Aspect Ratio: enter desired duct aspect ratio ranging form 1 to 6.
- Duct Height: Specify the desired duct Height, the corresponding duct width will be calculated automatically, notice that duct aspect will be unchecked and changed to "Free" size.
- Duct Width: Specify the desired duct Width, the corresponding air velocity and linear pressure loss will be calculated automatically.

DUCTULATOR
Sizing air ducts is essential task for HVAC Engineers, it requires quick tool to aid HVAC designer to determine air duct dimensions while drafting AC layouts.
DUCTULATOR Software, uses two methods to size air ducts based on velocity or static regain method, taking into account the air properties at given temperature and elevation height.
With advancement in built environment, building designs are getting more complex with more systems to be installed to serve these buildings, and coordination between these services get more difficult and sometime it is a nightmare, the largest elements in usually are ducts, deciding air ducts sizes are subject to several factor such as space restriction, clear height restriction set by authorities, noise, available static pressure, ..., etc, while maintaining acceptable Duct aspect ratio.
DUCTULATOR Software has a very useful option of locking Duct aspect ratio while calculating duct size, another handy feature to lock the software window always on top so it can be easily accessible while drafting AC layouts.
DUCTULATOR is developed in visual basic, will provide quick and dynamic duct calculation.
