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” 90Β° 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.

FAQ

What is Piping Base Elbow Layout Calc used for?

Piping Base Elbow Layout Calc is used to calculate precise layout dimensions for making accurate cuts on pipe intersections, specifically for joining a cylinder to an elbow. It generates full-size pattern templates to simplify the fabrication process.

What information do I need to input into Piping Base Elbow Layout Calc?

You need to input the main pipe's outside diameter, the base support diameter, the wall thickness of the pipe, and the elbow or bend radius. The app then uses these inputs to calculate the necessary dimensions.

Can Piping Base Elbow Layout Calc print templates?

Yes, the app produces full-size pattern templates that can be printed for various standard paper sizes, including 8.5 x 11, 11 x 17, and 24 x 36 inches. This allows users to create any size pipe coping pattern.

Does Piping Base Elbow Layout Calc support both imperial and metric units?

Yes, the calculator is versatile and supports both US-based imperial and metric units. The output can be displayed in feet, feet and inches, decimal, or fractions up to 1/32".

How accurate are the cut lines generated by Piping Base Elbow Layout Calc?

Users can control the accuracy of the cut lines by setting the desired number of control points. The app allows for an infinite amount of control points, offering greater precision than traditional methods that typically provide only 8 or 16 points.

What configurations can Piping Base Elbow Layout Calc calculate?

The calculator provides dimensions for three different configurations: CENTER (base support), TOP (dummy leg), and BOTTOM (dummy leg), ensuring flexibility for various fitting needs.

Is Piping Base Elbow Layout Calc available on Android devices?

Based on the provided data, Piping Base Elbow Layout Calc is an iPhone app and is supported on iPhone and iPod devices. There is no information indicating Android compatibility.

How often is Piping Base Elbow Layout Calc updated?

The latest version of Piping Base Elbow Layout Calc is 4.0.6, which was last updated on November 8, 2020. This indicates a past update, but the frequency of future updates is not specified.
