Cost effective program for hydraulic calculations

[Lostino]

Hello All

I am working on a project where I have to do the hydraulic calculations for 4 buildings.

I need to purchase a program to do the calculations. What is the most cost effective yet still user friendly and gives accurate results? I dont need it to be integrated with autocad.

Thank you

Calculator, pencil and hydraulic calc sheets - $5 at most.

Or, the Simple Hydraulic Calculator (free) -

I used to use Fire by Elite Software and really liked it, I think it's around $500.00 -

Sprink calc is good, but it takes some time to learn it. as noted in past threads, if you have never done calcs before, you may be delving into an area where an experienced nicet tech would be better suited for running the calcs which also includes pipe layout, spec of materials....
