Available Tools

Duct Sizer

Solves velocity, flow rate, or pressure drop for round and rectangular ducts using the Darcy-Weisbach equation — the industry-standard method for duct pressure-loss calculations. The Ductalator tab generates a full sizing matrix with heat-map highlighting so you can scan for the best fit at a glance.

  • Darcy-Weisbach pressure loss with industry-standard friction factor
  • Round and rectangular duct support
  • Pressure drop in in. w.c. / 100 ft
  • Solution grid with heat-map & CSV/image export
Psychrometric Chart

Enter any two air-state properties to solve the complete psychrometric state at any elevation or pressure. Save multiple states, connect them with process lines, and read the full chart including RH curves and the enthalpy oblique axis.

  • Industry-standard saturation-pressure and humidity equations
  • Supports all eight psychrometric properties as inputs
  • Multi-state process-line tracking
  • CSV and chart-image export
Pipe Network Failure Analysis

Draw a pipe network directly on a snapped grid, assign supply and load nodes, mark outage locations, and preview the worst-case base case plus individual failure scenarios one simulation point at a time.

  • Grid-based network editor with import/export compatibility
  • N+1 failure analysis with a worst-case envelope base case
  • Single-point failure scenarios with overlay preview
  • Responsive browser workspace with horizontal and vertical scrolling
Weather Data

Pull hourly NOAA station observations and export cleaned weather CSV data for a selected station and year range using NOAA source files.

  • Hourly NOAA export with current data coverage
  • Station picker covering major US airport weather stations
  • CSV schema reference table built into the page
  • Single-file CSV export workflow with up to 20 years of data
