Engineering Calculators

This category holds the tools that answer one focused question: how much adhesive for the hole, which screw for the load, what pavement thickness, what volume or balance. These are not large design packages but calculators — and that is exactly their strength.

In daily engineering work most calculations are of this kind, and today they are done in a private spreadsheet nobody has ever reviewed, or in someone’s head on site. A purpose-built calculator that follows a standard and produces a report solves both problems.

When choosing from this category, check three things: which standard it calculates to, whether it shows the formula and the clause or only a number, and whether the output is something you can attach to a submission.
