PPI announces major updates to Plastic Pipe Design Calculator
The Plastics Pipe Institute (PPI) announced a major update to its Building & Construction Division’s Plastic Pipe Design Calculator, a free software tool for the design of plastic pressure pipe and tubing systems using CPVC, HDPE, PEX, PE-RT, PP-R and PP-RCT.
The calculator is intended to be used for applications such as plumbing, water service, fire protection, hydronic piping (liquids), radiant heating and cooling, snow and ice melting, geothermal ground loops, district heating, chilled water, and turf conditioning. PPI is the major trade association representing the plastic pipe industry.
