What is Pipe Saddle Layout Calculator?
Pipe Saddle Layout Calculator is an iPhone app designed for fitters, welders, fabricators, or anyone who needs to join two metal cylinders at any angle. The app provides accurate cut points for piping intersections, eliminating the need for books, calculators, compasses, or expensive CAD programs. The app is easy to use and works with any size pipe, any angle of intersection, and any wall thickness of pipe. It produces an on-the-fly ordinate table of offsets and full-size pattern templates for any size and any angle intersection.
1. Pipe Saddle Layout Calculator is a iPhone app that provides the fitter with the points to make an accurate cut (fish mouth, cope, etc) for piping (cylinder to cylinder) intersections.
2. Pipe Saddle Layout Calculator provides the offset layout dimensions for that perfect pipe joint.
3. Are you still carrying that blue book around? Pipe Saddle Layout Calculator is the modern piping blue book.
4. Confused about how to layout cut lines for joining two pieces of pipe? If you are a pipe fabricator, welder, or fitter who needs to make perfect saddle cuts, then this app is for you.
5. User enters: main pipe, branch pipe, wall thickness (this app considers wall thickness, you don't want to leave too much metal, or take too much off) and branch angle.
6. This calculator works with any size pipe, any angle of intersection, and any wall thickness of pipe.
7. Pipe Saddle Layout Calculator is easy.
8. Forget books, calculators, compasses, ancient saddle layout procedures, laptops, expensive CAD programs, mathematics or internet access to figure out how to make that perfect saddle joint.
9. For example, a 2" pipe needs fewer control points than a 48".
10. Now you can print out your pipe pattern templates for any size and any angle intersection.
11. The beauty of this app is that it also produces full size pattern templates, so you don't have to measure and layout all of the work points.
