Cones Calculator Pro vs MapYourOTDR

Cone Calculator is a professional engineering and fabrication tool for developing accurate flat pattern layouts for different types of cones and conical components. Designed for fabrication engineers, fitters, mechanical engineers, workshop professionals, and industrial manufacturers, the app simplifies complex cone development calculations and provides practical dimensions for plate marking, cutting, and fabrication. It is useful for pressure vessel fabrication, process equipment, piping, heat exchangers, storage tanks, ducting, and general sheet metal fabrication. Supported Cone Layouts • Full Cone Development • Half Cone Development • Truncated Cone Development • Multi-Level Truncated Cone • Eccentric Cone Development • Multi-Level Eccentric Cone • Tori Cone / Knuckle Cone • Tori Cone with Knuckle at Large End • Tori Cone with Knuckles at Both Ends Full, Half & Truncated Cone Generate flat pattern developments for concentric conical shapes. Calculate the required development dimensions, radius, angles, and cord lengths for plate layout and fabrication. Multi-Level Truncated Cone Develop large truncated cones in multiple sections when the complete cone cannot be manufactured from a single plate or when available sheet or plate size is limited. This provides practical development information for fabrication and assembly of large conical components. Eccentric Cone Generate flat pattern layouts for eccentric cone transitions using the supported development method. The calculator provides development information and marking dimensions for the top and bottom profiles, making it useful for offset and eccentric fabrication applications. Multi-Level Eccentric Cone Develop large eccentric cones in multiple sections for applications where a single-piece development is impractical because of component size, plate dimensions, or fabrication requirements. Tori / Knuckle Cone Calculate flat pattern development for conical components incorporating knuckle geometry. Supported configurations include: • Knuckle at Large End • Knuckle at Both Ends • Straight Face Dimensions Features • Accurate cone flat pattern development • Full cone layout • Half cone layout • Truncated cone development • Multi-level cone development • Eccentric cone development • Multi-level eccentric cone development • Tori / knuckle cone development • Development radius calculation • Development angles • Cord length calculations • Fabrication-ready marking dimensions • Metric and Imperial unit support • Automatic unit conversion • Simple and professional interface • Fast calculations • No internet connection required • No distracting advertisements Applications Cone Calculator is useful for: • Pressure Vessel Fabrication • Process Equipment Fabrication • Heat Exchanger Manufacturing • Storage Tank Fabrication • Piping Fabrication • Sheet Metal Fabrication • Ducting and Transition Fabrication • Industrial Equipment Manufacturing • General Fabrication • Workshop Layout and Marking Designed For • Fabrication Engineers • Mechanical Engineers • Design Engineers • Production Engineers • Fabrication Fitters • Workshop Supervisors • Fabrication Contractors • Piping Professionals • Process Equipment Manufacturers • Engineering Students Cone Calculator helps reduce manual geometry calculations, save fabrication time, minimize layout errors, and improve accuracy when transferring developed dimensions onto plate or sheet metal. Whether you are developing a simple full cone, truncated cone, eccentric cone, large multi-level cone, or knuckle cone, Cone Calculator provides a convenient engineering tool for practical fabrication and layout development. For fabrication-ready results, using appropriate mean dimensions during layout development is recommended where applicable.

MapYourOTDR turns your iPhone or iPad into a full OTDR trace analyzer — read, interpret, and report on optical-fiber test data without the instrument's desktop software, and entirely offline. Open a Telcordia SR-4731 (.sor) file from any OTDR and get an interactive trace you can pinch-zoom, pan, and measure. Drop two markers to read the distance, loss, and attenuation across any span — the way you would on the instrument itself. WHAT IT DOES - Decode and plot .sor traces with full acquisition parameters - Automatic event classification — connectors, splices, gainers, ghosts, fiber end - A/B two-marker measurement: distance, 2-point loss, and dB/km - Link health score with a clear pass/fail verdict - ORL, section attenuation, uniformity, and a full loss-budget breakdown - Baseline comparison — overlay a commissioning trace and see exactly what changed - Bidirectional true splice loss — pair both directions and average out the backscatter bias (ITU-T G.650.3 method), with gainers resolved - Dual-wavelength macrobend detection — compare 1310 vs 1550 nm and flag bends that lose more at the longer wavelength - On-device PDF test reports, branded with your company and name - CSV export of the event table LEARN 23 illustrated, vendor-neutral topics covering dead zones, dynamic range, reflectance, ghosts, gainers, bidirectional testing, PON and splitter testing, multimode limits, OTDR variants, calibration, fiber types, and a field troubleshooting workflow. TOOLS Field calculators for distance, dead zone, reach from dynamic range, loss budget, optical-vs-route length, splitter loss, and averaging gain. SIMULATE Generate synthetic traces with seeded faults — connectors, splices, gainers, macrobends, ghost echoes — to practise reading them. PRIVACY No account, no tracking, no ads. Every trace is parsed, analyzed, and turned into a report on your device. Nothing is uploaded. Free to use: trace viewer, basic analysis, demo traces, the core simulator, and 7 LEARN topics. A one-time Pro unlock adds the full analysis engine, all 23 topics, every simulator fault, configurable thresholds, and PDF/CSV export. Built for fiber-optic field technicians and network engineers. Grounded in public standards — Telcordia SR-4731, ITU-T G.650.x / G.652 / G.657, IEC 61746, TIA-568.
