pfcalc Alternatives

pfcalc is described as 'Stands for pipe friction calculator and is a CLI program that computes pressure drop in piping systems using the Darcy-Weisbach equation. The program is capable of computing minor and major pressure losses for flow in pipes and ducts' and is an app. There are six alternatives to pfcalc for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Web-based, Mac and SaaS apps. The best pfcalc alternative is PIPE-FLO. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try SimuPipe or Fluid Network Studio. Other great apps like pfcalc are fluids, WaterCAD and EPANET.
