Lay out insulation cladding the way the shop does it: from the insulation's real outside diameter, not the pipe's. InsuLayout Pro is a layout tool for industrial insulators and tinners. Pick the pipe size, the wall and the material; it gives you the flat pattern, the ordinates and the file for the table. SIZED BY BORE, NOT PIPE OD Insulation is ordered as bore × wall. Rigid materials (calcium silicate, cellular glass, perlite) step up one size; soft materials match the pipe; traced lines go oversize. InsuLayout Pro takes the actual outside diameter from the ASTM C585 table and lays the pattern out on that: the difference is over an inch of stretchout on a plain 8" line, and about four on a traced one. Every result shows where the number came from and warns when it had to estimate. FITTINGS, FREE • Gored elbows at any angle from 1° to 180°, 3 to 7 gores, the lap on the side • Tees, and laterals at any angle from 15° to 90°, equal or reducing • Concentric and eccentric reducers, true developments, in one piece or two • Conical end caps and bevels • Valve, flange and plain box covers, rectangular or round FOR EACH PIPE FITTING, FREE • Flat pattern on screen, with the lap and mirror • Ordinate table in shop fractions (to 1/16") or millimetres, with Copy All • Bench Layout Guide: step-by-step marking-out with this job's own numbers • Gore Build Guide for elbows, with a 3D view that follows along • SVG of the pattern SHOP UNLOCK, A ONE-TIME PURCHASE • DXF: one closed cut outline, ordinate lines, drawing units set • Plasma G-code in inches or millimetres, with safe-Z (set kerf compensation in your CAM or controller) • Sheet nesting onto 4×8 or 4×10 sheets or 36" / 48" coil, with kerf, rotation, overflow and scrap yield, and whole-sheet cut files • 3D fitting proof built from the same development as the cut pattern • Material takeoff: cladding area, pieces of metal, bands and screws • Full-size paper templates, tiled 1:1 as a PDF Files go to the share sheet: email them to the shop, AirDrop them, or save them to Files. SHOP PRO, A ONE-TIME PURCHASE • QuantaClad AI scan: photograph an isometric, a P&ID, a pipe stencil or an insulation label, check every value it read, and the app builds the job. 30 scans a month; needs a free account and a connection • Vessel and tank heads (orange-peel gores and cap) and vessel shells • Straight runs, rolling offsets and the slope finder • Double layer, the hole in the main and insulation mitre cuts • Job packs: every fitting and run under one job name, as a PDF • Call-out mode: the phone reads the numbers out loud while you mark Shop Unlock and Shop Pro are separate. Each is bought once and stays unlocked. REFERENCE, FREE • Sizing chart (imperial NPS) with the C585 insulation OD, circumference and stretchout • Materials and jacketing: temperature limits, thermal conductivity by mean temperature, and the ASTM designations that apply (C533, C534, C547, C552, C591, C610, C1728, C1729, C1767) • Condensation check for cold lines, by the ISO 12241 method • TIAC Best Practices references, cited by section • Your site spec: lap, band and screw spacing, set once WORKS WHERE YOU WORK Layout, patterns and files work with no signal. Only the QuantaClad AI scan needs a connection: the photo goes to QuantaClad AI on Cloudflare, is read once and is not kept. Nothing else needs an account; sign in only if you want to. Imperial and metric. TinnerAI, the built-in helper, runs on the phone and is rule-based. It does not connect to any AI service. We never upload your saved jobs. They stay on your phone. Built by a journeyman insulator. Sizes NPS 1/2" to 36" and DN15 to DN900 (C585 bore table to 22"; larger sizes are laid out geometrically and flagged). ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Shop Unlock | $17.99 | one-time | | Shop Pro | $10.99 | one-time | ## Is InsuLayout Pro safe?

In Settings, one tap shares InsuLayout with your crew: a short note with the iPhone and Android links, so it works whatever phone they carry. - New: Rate InsuLayout. Opens the App Store page so you can leave a rating or a review. After you finish a couple of layouts, the App Store may also ask you once. ### 1.0.9 — 2026-11-07 - New: Transitions. Square-to-round, rectangle-to-round (round centred or offset) and rectangle-to-rectangle jackets, laid out by triangulation with every true length, the spaces between the points, the seam and the girth. One, two or four pieces with your laps. - DXF and G-code cut files, a full-size print, and a Show me how lesson with the voice. - Transitions are part of Shop Pro. Their DXF, G-code and full-size print need Shop Unlock. ### 1.0.8 — 2026-11-05 - Show me how: every pattern now has an animated, step-by-step lesson built from your own job's numbers. Elbows, tees, laterals, reducers, gores, heads, vessel shells, boxes, runs, mitres and the hole in the main. - Watch it draw itself, follow one step at a time with the voice reading each step, or practise: type in the marks you made and the app checks each one to 1/16". ### 1.0.7 — 2026-11-04 - Job pack: every piece on a nested sheet is listed under that sheet now, and no line runs off the page. - A run cut from one piece reads "1 section", and a run whose last two pieces are cut equal says so. ### 1.0.6 — 2026-11-03 - Scan an isometric, then add a close-up of its material list: every size, pipe length and fitting comes from the list, worked out row by row. Gaskets, bolts and supports are left out. - A line that changes size comes back as one entry per size, each with its own run and fittings. ## More apps by t Nowlin - [Quanta Intelligence](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/quanta-intelligence/id6817625710) - [Glean](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/glean/id6817966177) All apps by t Nowlin: https://appshunter.io/developer/6817625712 ## Related topics [industrial insulation](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/industrial-insulation) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
