Gas pipe size calculation

[Adam1312]

Hi all!

I am looking to see if anyone uses a good gas pipe size calculation app!

I have been been plumbing and installing gas for over 12 years so obviously I know how to work it out long hand, I just want to see if any of these apps are worth the money to save myself time over the year!

Thanks

I always work it out longhand.

But then not many apps do commercial gas sizing!

Thanks for the reply!

I'm the same I do it longhand but just thought they might be one out there!

I like the GBgas.co.uk app works well once you get your head round the rubbishinstructions. I like longhand but sometimes if I'm just trying to show a customer why their gas is undersized it's a useful tool

Always the long way round !
Mear calculator !

Never been wrong in 28 years with those.
Some think they're old hat but I swear by em.

Pump sizes ( index circuit calcs).
Gas pipe sizes ( pressure drop )
Gallons per hour
Heat loss
Boiler size
All of it !
You need to use them along side a good brain and experience !
