Insulation thickness calculator app

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010


Armacell has relaunched its technical calculation program and, for the first time, also provides the ArmWin tool for use on smartphones and tablets.

The program can be used to carry out all the common technical
calculations for refrigeration/air conditioning and heating/plumbing
applications – and now directly whilst working on site.
 
The
ArmWin program calculates the insulation thicknesses required to protect
building equipment and industrial installations against heat losses,
freezing or condensation. The tool is developed according to the ISO
12241 standard that defines the rules for the calculation of
heat-transfer-related properties of building equipment and industrial
installations, predominantly under steady-state conditions.
 
ArmWin can
also be used to determine:
 surface temperature; heat flow; temperature
changes in flowing and stationary media; freezing times for water
pipes; and economical insulation thicknesses, ie those with the shortest
pay back periods.

The ArmWin calculation tool is now also
available as a free to download app for the first time. The new online,
offline and app versions all now require fewer inputs from the user than
with earlier versions, with more drop down menu options and new
features including the possibility of entering the specific project data
in question and saving calculations to PDF.

In addition ArmWin provides
various interactive functions; the calculations can be mailed directly,
the program links directly to the relevant product information on the
Armacell website and the key calculation terms are listed in a new
glossary section. The ArmWin app has been developed for iOS, BlackBerry
and Android operating systems and can be downloaded from the App Store,
BlackBerry World and Google Play.
