The beta release of DUCTSIZE 6.00 for Windows is now available! The HVAC industry standard for ductsizing calculations software since 1984 is now available for Windows. Call (800) 648-9523 for complete upgrade and purchase information. DUCTSIZE 6.00 FOR WINDOWS IS ALSO AVAILABLE HERE IN BETA EVALUATION FORM AND FREE FOR DOWNLOADING. This is a true 32 bit program and works only on Windows '95, Windows '98 and Windows NT. There is no version for Windows 3.1.

We encourage you to evaluate this beta version of DUCTSIZE 6.00 for Windows and invite you to send us comments about our new program. While the beta version copy is a functional version of the program with all calculation features turned on, it does have project size limitations. Existing users of DOS DUCTSIZE versions will be able to update to the news Windows DUCTSIZE for an update fee. Full manuals will be available only with the final shipping version. Call us at (409) 846-2340 for more information on DUCTSIZE for Windows.

DUCTSIZE quickly calculates optimal duct sizes using either the static regain, equal friction, or constant velocity method. The calculated duct sizes can be printed on a round, rectangular, and flat oval basis. Noise levels and required attenuation are printed for each runout duct. A library of fan data for noise calculations is built into the program. Additionally, a bill of materials with both labor and material costs can be printed. DUCTSIZE allows an unlimited number of duct sections, and is suitable for both constant volume and VAV systems as diversity is accounted for. Input data is entered using convenient "fill in the blank" screens. Optionally, input data can be taken directly from a duct drawing file created in AutoCAD by the Softdesk HVAC drawing system. DUCTSIZE also has an option for specifying duct height and width constraints to control sizes. This feature is also useful for analyzing problems in existing systems where the duct sizes are already specified.

DUCTSIZE is based on the design procedures given in the 1993 ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals and the 1981 SMACNA HVAC Systems Duct Design manual. The program can calculate using either the static regain, equal friction, or constant velocity methods. The user's manual gives detailed information on the exact equations used, and explains how to manually verify program results.

Powerful new Windows Features include:

Calculates optimal air conditioning duct sizes
Computes round, rectangular, and flat oval duct sizes
Three sizing methods available: Static Regain, Equal Friction, & Constant Velocity
Includes a built-in library of fan data for noise calculations
Project Explorer provides a tree-style graphical representation of all trunks and runouts in the project
Fitting Selector displays drawings of over 120 ASHRAE duct fittings
Both supply and return duct systems can be entered in the same project. Return-side duct system losses are automatically accounted for when calculating the supply-side duct system.
A virtually unlimited number of separate duct systems can be entered in a single project.
The number of trunks and runouts is virtually unlimited
Trunks and runouts are each given a user-defined name instead of just a number. Trunk and runout names can be changed at any time.
Works with the AutoCAD/SoftDesk duct drawing program to create fully sized, three dimensional duct drawings.
Determines noise levels and required attenuation
Includes customizable button toolbar and menu to fit your work style
Instantly evaluate your project for input errors
Fully customizable comprehensive color reports can be printed, previewed on screen and saved to disk.
Reports can optionally be generated as an HTML file that can be viewed with a web browser.
Works easily with DUCTSIZE version 5.0 project files
Uses ASHRAE and SMACNA procedures
Internet enabled
Uses either English or Metric units.
