GasCalc is a calculation tool for qualified plumbers and gasfitters in Australia and New Zealand. It is designed to assist with calculations required by industry standards, manufacturer data, and established best practices.
Development and Purpose
As a plumber and gasfitter, I developed GasCalc to address the need for accurate and accessible calculations while on the job. It began as a personal project to improve my own workflow. Believing it could be of value to others in the trade, I have made it available as a professional tool.
Foundation in Official Sources
All calculators and formulas within GasCalc are derived from information in official and trusted sources:
- Australian and New Zealand Standards (AS/NZS)
- Local Regulations
- Leading Manufacturer's Data
- Established Industry Best Practices
Explanatory text is paraphrased for clarity and brevity. For full context and exact wording, a reference to the source standard and clause is always provided, allowing for quick cross-referencing with your official documents.
A Tool, Not a Replacement
GasCalc is a supplementary tool and is not a substitute for professional judgment or official documentation.
How It Works: The application performs fixed mathematical calculations based on pre-programmed formulas. It does not use machine learning, predictive analysis, or adaptive algorithms. Its function is equivalent to a specialised calculator.
Guiding Principle: The tool is intended to drive users toward the official standards as the primary source of truth, not to replace them.
