By utilizing version 6.00.05, designers can minimize errors in pressure drop estimations, leading to better-sized equipment, lower energy consumption, and more reliable HVAC system performance. Share public link
: Ability to save multiple fittings into a project file for easy navigation and storage. Dual Units : Supports both I-P (Imperial) SI (Metric) ashrae duct fitting database version. 6.00.05
The fundamental pressure loss calculation is governed by the equation:
Navigate through the catalog of more than 200 fittings, or use the search function to locate a specific fitting by its ASHRAE number or description.
Field engineers can use the to perform quick pressure loss checks on‑site. The app supports select supply, common, and return/exhaust fittings in both I‑P and SI units, enabling rapid validation of as‑built conditions against design assumptions. Learn more By utilizing version 6
While the interface is utilitarian, the value of the data—specifically the updates regarding stacked fitting interference—justifies the cost for serious HVAC designers. If you are tired of guessing on pressure drops or fighting with client specifications during commissioning, this software is your best defense.
bridges the gap between legacy duct design and modern energy codes. It corrects past errors, adds new fittings, and improves workflow through better exports and API access. Whether you are designing a hospital's ventilation system, a data center's cooling network, or teaching undergraduate fluid mechanics, Version 6.00.05 is a must-have tool.
Prior to dedicated software databases, engineers manually cross-referenced charts within printed volumes of the ASHRAE Handbook—Fundamentals . Version 6.00.05 offers major advantages over those manual workflows: Field engineers can use the to perform quick

: Version 6.00.05 resolved data transfer errors from previous versions (such as the ED5-2 Cscap C sub s text table) and fixed equations in the ER2-2 fitting.
A notable discussion on the Autodesk forums highlights the industry’s reliance on this integration. While Revit 2019 was found to be integrated with an older version (5.00.00) of the DFDB, users were actively requesting an update to version 6.00.05. This gap underscores a common industry challenge: keeping BIM software synchronized with the latest engineering databases. Revit MEP uses the ASHRAE database to automatically lookup coefficients for determining pressure losses through duct fittings. A discrepancy between the version in Revit and the current industry standard can lead to inconsistencies in project calculations.
) was increased for several common fittings (SR4-3, ER4-3, CR3-17, and CR9-3). Equation Corrections:
