ACCA Ductulator (Duct Slide Rule)

About This Book

An ACCA Ductulator (officially known as the ACCA Duct Calculation Slide Rule) is a circular slide-rule tool used by heating and cooling technicians to properly size air ducts. Based on ACCA Manual D standards, it allows users to match airflow, friction, and velocity in order to determine the correct round or rectangular duct dimensions.

Core Uses

  • Size Different Materials: Compatible with sheet metal, lined metal, duct board, and flexible ducts.
  • Convert Shapes: Translates round duct measurements into equivalent rectangular duct sizes.
  • Calculate Airflow: Establishes the relationship between cubic feet per minute (CFM), air velocity, and friction rate.
  • Adjust for Conditions: Accounts for variations in temperature and altitude.
