DPC Tools vs Pipe Offset

Tools to determine Pipe Buoyancy, External Load Design, Flow, Pricing, Rep locator, and Truckload calculator that are utilized to design and build projects using PVC pipe. All applications have an option to print the results once determined. Buoyancy Calculator The Buoyancy Calculator allows the user to determine the buoyancy force of PVC pipe during construction as well as once the pipe is installed and in use. The user chooses the pipe from drop down lists, inputs the Specific Gravity of the fluid around the pipe, the Unit Weight of the backfill material, the Concrete or Flowable Fill unit weight, and the amount of water in the pipe. Output allows the contractor to know the maximum height of each lift of Flowable fill or Concrete placed before floatation occurs, the minimum soil cover in feet with pipe empty to prevent floatation, and the Buoyancy force per foot length of pipe when empty or full of water. External Load Design This application allows the user to estimate the percent of ring deflection in buried flexible pipe utilizing the Modified Iowa Equation. This equation has been used since the late 1950’s to accurately calculate expected maximum deflections. The application follows the latest methods outlined in AWWA M23 and allows the user to choose each of the input variables based upon specific known conditions and also offers the option of selecting inputs from recommended values. Flow Calculator This calculator provides Friction loss (psi), Velocity (ft/second), and Fuel costs in dollars per hour for comparable pipe products under comparable flow conditions. It may be used to compare different diameters or different pipe products to allow the user to choose the best pipe to be used for the design as well as for life cycle costs used in value engineering of projects. Pricing The Pricing calculator allows the user to choose the PVC pipe use whether Agricultural or Utility pipe and input the Block price. The output is in dollars per foot of pipe. Find A Representative The application allows the user to choose the PVC pipe use whether for Agricultural of Utility and then choose the Nation that the pipe representative works in from a drop down list. Once a Postal Code in entered the output shows a picture and contact information for the Diamond Plastics Corporation sales representative in that area. Truckload Calculator The application allows the user to choose the nearest Diamond Plastics Corporation PVC pipe manufacturing facility from a drop down list. The user can then choose from Water, Sewer, or Ag products, the pipe type and input the quantity desired. The output will indicate the percentage of a truckload that the chosen pipe and quantity will occupy for shipment.

Solve the offset. Read the cut off the drawing. Own it once. Pipe Offset turns rise, roll, and your fitting angle into the one number you actually cut to — the end-of-pipe cut length — and draws it on a labeled isometric that redraws live as you type. There's no calculate button, no login, and no subscription. It works in airplane mode on the jobsite, forever. BUILT FOR THE CUT, NOT JUST THE TRAVEL Most offset apps stop at center-to-center travel. Pipe Offset keeps going: it subtracts each fitting's takeout and folds in thread makeup or Victaulic groove engagement, so the number on screen is where you actually cut the stick. • Simple and rolling offsets — enter rise, roll, and a continuous fitting-angle field (45 / 30 / 22.5 / 11.25 / 60 are one-tap seeds, never the only path) • Welded, threaded NPT, and Victaulic-grooved fitting systems — with user-overridable takeout / makeup, so an un-tabled combo is never a dead end • Every pipe size and schedule — no 42-inch cap • Fractions in the fitter's own notation, inches and mm ACCURACY YOU CAN VERIFY BEFORE YOU PAY The cheap apps are provably wrong — an 8-inch rolling-offset error is real out there. The complete single-offset instrument — correct trig, takeout-to-cut, and the labeled iso — is FREE, so you can cut a real stick and check our math before spending a cent. WHAT'S FREE, WHAT'S NOT Free, forever: the full single-offset solve (simple + rolling), the continuous angle field, all pipe sizes and fitting systems, the per-solve takeout override, the live labeled isometric, and the end-of-pipe cut. One-time unlock ($19.99): parallel / equal-spread banks (N pipes, spacing, staggered cuts), obstruction mode (type a clearance, get the minimum offset that clears it), save & recall named jobs, and export — labeled iso PNG, cut-sheet PDF, and a re-importable JSON round-trip. That's it. No subscription. No account. Restore Purchases is built in for a new phone or a reinstall. Priced like the $54 wheel on your truck — bought once, not rented by the year. Always confirm against your own layout and cut list. Pipe Offset supports your layout decisions; it is not a substitute for code, spec, or a qualified fitter's judgment.
