Pipe Craftsmen

Pipe Craftsmen is the pipefitter's toolbox: the numbers you work to, one tap from your pocket, in the tape's own language.

THE CALCULATOR

Feet, inches and fractions natively - 5'-6" + 3'-9" reads back 9'-3". Metric keys, angle mode with decimal and DMS entry, store/recall shared across every keypad in the app, session history, and your starred measurements one tap from the display. Search every fitting dimension and pipe wall with the built-in Fitting Finder and drop the figure straight into your sum.

THE FITTINGS REFERENCE

Every dimension of every fitting, from the published standards:

- Butt weld (ASME B16.9): all sixteen types

- Socket weld (ASME B16.11): classes 3000/6000/9000, measured to the socket bottom, your pull-back applied

- Threaded (ASME B16.11): all ten types including street elbows, plugs and bushings - the make-on subtracts, because a thread makes the pipe longer

- Flanges (ASME B16.5): all six kinds, classes 150-2500, raised-face rule built in

Every page draws its fitting in section with the selected takeoff dimensioned on the steel. Set your root gap, pull-back and make-on once; every takeoff follows.

THE TOOLS

- Pipe Offset: solve the triangle from any two facts, then get the fitting each end needs, the pipe between, and its weight

- Equal Spread: parallel lines turning together - the advance that keeps the spread equal through the corner

- Rolled Offset: roll, set and advance into one travel, with the bend angle and roll angle told apart

- Miter Joints: cut angle, cutback, and the blank drawn flat on the bench, marked for cutting

- Fitting Cutdown: a 90 cut to any angle, with the three arcs to mark

- Rolled Olet: set a roll angle with a tape measure

- Pipe Information: bore, wall, circumference, and the weights you rig by - empty, full of water, per foot

BUILT FOR THE TRADE

Answers read the way a tape does. The drawings are to the steel's own proportions. Every shipped dimension is audited against the standards' tables. Arrange the menus your way, star what you use, and it all persists.
