Version 6.00.05 provides a comprehensive library of these coefficients, derived from decades of laboratory testing and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling. By using this validated data, designers can move away from "rule of thumb" estimations and toward high-fidelity system simulations. Key Features of Version 6.00.05
Performing a calculation with the DFDB is a straightforward process: : Export the loss coefficient summaries to validate
: Supports both I-P (Imperial) and SI (Metric) units for global project compatibility. Mobile and Field Integration For quick calculations in the field, offers the Duct Fitting Database Lite app
The interface allows users to enter flow rates and fitting dimensions to instantly obtain velocity, velocity pressure, and pressure loss. For any engineer serious about commissioning a system
