Piping Base Elbow Layout Calc User Reviews

Can't set page size to A4. Error emailing calculations.

Can't set page size to A4. To be fair this is noted in help but is a basic requirement if the purpose of the program is print templates.

Error when attempting to email calculations. No response or support from developer. As far as I can tell emailing calculations is the only way to print templates. Not being able to print templates makes the program useless

Doesn’t work

Used this to layout an 8” dummy leg on 10” 90° Elbow and it was way out once cut. Better off using the book

Good concept, lacking features.

Considering this is used in aiding template development I feel you should include the ability to generate the template as well, waste of 7$ for anyone interested.

Great App!

I’m a Journeyman Pipefitter and a construction supervisor. I forgot my Red Book and my foreman didn’t have his 1001 Ordinance book. We downloaded this app and had a template built in 15 minutes. Saved us about 2 hours on a Saturday. Paid for itself 10x over with the first use.
I recommend this app for experienced tradesmen who are already familiar with template development. If you haven’t done this work before, take the time to watch a YouTube video or two.
Again, great app!

Does not compute

This app is terrible. Ordinates given do no even make a symmetrical wrap around. All attempts at making a template using this app failed. Went back to my 1000 ordinates book and also found a much better app that worked great. Please do not waste your money as you will just be disappointed as I am.

I saw the app online, got my phone, paid , printed, and was cutting pipe within 1/2 hr. All I had to do was knock off the slag. Tack!!

Awesome app

Was doing a shop base ell. I already had a template. I tested this app against my existing template and the PDF drawing was spot on. Looking forward to using this app on a base support where I don't actually have a template.

Waste of Money

I bought this App to help me lay out a 30" base support on a 42" elbow. None of my fabrication books had a lay out for a 30" support on that large of an elbow. When I saw this App and how it claimed to be able to calculate support lay outs for ANY size I thought it would be a great time saving tool. So I bought it. Just $5.

Wasted. The only part of the support that touches is at the 0 and 180 degree marks. The was enough room on top and bottom to put my hand through. Not a result of user error either. I've been a pipe fitter for over ten years and I know how to read and lay out a base support. This App simply doesn't do what it claims it can do. Maybe it works on smaller pipe, but you really don't need a special calculator for that.
