Branch Pipe Layout App build to Get Flat Pattern Layout or Fabrication Layout for Plain Pipe or Shell, Pipe to Pipe Intersection at 90 Deg with Equal Diameter, Pipe to Pipe Intersection at 90 Deg. with unequal Diameter with offset distance, Pipe or Nozzle to Cone Intersection at 90 Deg or Pipe or Nozzle to Cone Intersection with Parallel Axis. It is recommended to Put Mean Value for Lay outing. This app is also used to Layout Branch pipe to Pipe, Pipe Branch Cutting, Pipe tee Branch, Pipe Y Formation and it based on Pipe branch Cutting formula. Layout is Gives Flat Plate Width and Length Size and 24 Parts Value for Lay outing Flat Pattern of Branch Pipe. This App Included Following Flat Pattern or Fabrication Layout Options : 1. Pipe or Shell Layout. β In this Function Pipe or Shell Flat Pattern is calculated. It has option for No of Parts and No. of Levels to get Pipe layout. In this Input is required as Diameter and Height of Pipe or Shell. Layout is Gives Flat Plate Width and Length Size. 2.Pipe or Cylinder Truncated at an Angle at Top Side. - In this Pipe or Cylinder is truncated at an angle. We have to give Input value as Pipe Diameter, Large Side Height and Small Side Height. 3.Pipe or Cylinder Truncated at an Angle at Top and Bottom Side - In this Pipe or Cylinder is truncated at an angle at Both Top and Bottom Side. We have to give Input value as Pipe Diameter, Pipe Center height , Pipe Top Side Angle, Pipe Bottom Side Angle. 4.Pipe or Cylinder Truncated at Top With Some Radius - In this Pipe or Cylinder is truncated at Some Radius at Top of the Pipe or Cylinder. We have to give Input value as Pipe Diameter, Pipe Center height, Pipe Top Side Radius. 5.Pipe to Pipe OR Cylinder to Cylinder Intersection at 90 Deg. with Equal Diameter β In This Branch is formed by intersection of two cylinder or pipes. Branch Pipe or Cylinder is at 90 deg. having equal Diameter of Branch and Main Pipe. We have to give Input value as Main or Branch Pipe Diameter, Nozzle or Pipe or Cylinder Center Distance from axis. 6.Pipe to Pipe OR Cylinder to Cylinder Intersection at 90 Deg. with unequal Diameter and offset Distance β In This Branch is formed by intersection of two cylinder or pipes. Branch Pipe or Cylinder is at 90 Deg. having unequal Diameter of Branch and Main Pipe or having some offset Distance. We have to give Input value as Main Pipe Diameter, Branch Pipe Diameter, Pipe or nozzle or Cylinder Center Distance from axis and Offset Distance of branch Pipe. 7.Pipe to Cone OR Cone to Cylinder OR Cone to Nozzle Intersection at 90 Deg. β In this Pipe or Nozzle or Cylinder interaction with Cone is formed at 90 Deg. We have to give Input value as Cone Large Side Diameter, Cone Small Side Diameter, Cone Height, Pipe or Nozzle Diameter, Pipe or Nozzle height from Cone Base, Pipe or Branch Center Distance from center Axis. 8.Pipe to Cone OR Cone to Cylinder OR Cone to Nozzle Intersection with Parallel axis β In this Pipe or Nozzle or Cylinder interaction with Cone is formed at Parallel Axis. We have to give Input value as Cone Large Side Diameter, Cone Small Side Diameter, Cone Height, Pipe or Nozzle Diameter, Pipe or Nozzle height from Cone Base, Pipe or Branch Center Distance from center Axis. Branch Pipe Layout App is widely used Tool for Fabrication of Piping Spools, Pressure Vessels, Pipelines and other Process equipment where Pipe Branched Connection re used. It is helpful for Piping Engineer, Fabrication Engineers, Pipe Fitters, fabrication Fitters, Production Engineers, Quality Engineers, Costing and Estimating Engineers, Auto Cad Engineers, Design Engineers in Field of Fabrication of Process equipmentβs.
Pipefitter's Mate

Pipefitter's Mate β seven pipe layout calculators for the field. Offline. No ads. No accounts. Enter the dimensions and the numbers are already there. Cut list, ordinates and spool weight update as you type, and every result shows the method behind it, so you can check it before you cut. THE SEVEN TOOLS Simple offset RUN and OFFSET in. TRAVEL, PIPE CUT, SETBACK, CUT ANGLE, INSIDE ARC and OUTSIDE ARC out. Rolling (compound) offset Set and roll across two planes. True offset, travel and pipe cut, with the derivation shown. Lateral branch Fishmouth ordinates for a branch meeting a header at any angle from 30 to 90 degrees. Saddle branch Ordinates for a square 90 degree branch. The lateral tool reproduces this exactly at 90. Trunnion / dummy leg Ordinates for a support landing on the back of an elbow, checked against published cutback data. Equal-spread offsets Stagger a bank of two to four parallel lines so the spacing stays even through the offset. Flange two-holing Bolt hole layout straddling the centerline, to ASME B16.5. ELBOW ANGLES Presets for 45, 22.5, 11.25, 30 and 60 degrees plus custom, with the run derived for you. PIPE DATA, BUILT IN NPS 1/2" through 40". Schedules STD, XS, XXS, SCH 40 and SCH 80. Long and short radius elbows. Wall thickness to ASME B36.10M, elbow geometry to B16.9, flanges to B16.5. Where a schedule is not standard for a given size, the app says so rather than guessing. CUT LIST AND WELD GAP When the pipe cut exceeds stock length, the app works out the sticks and generates a cut list, deducting your root gap per joint across elbow welds and field welds. Set stock length to match your region: 6 m, 20 ft, 24 ft, 40 ft or custom. SPOOL WEIGHT Pipe, both elbows and the weld beads, totalled β so you know what you are lifting before it is on the strop. DRAWINGS A CAD-style diagram for every tool, with dimension callouts and weld markers. Pinch to zoom and pan. Legible in light and dark. TRADE INDEX A built-in reference covering fabrication, geometry, measurement and pipe sizing terms. ALSO Save and load named spools. Switch between millimeters and inches with one tap. Screen-stays-on mode for when your hands are full. Bigger type and glove-sized targets throughout. PROJECT WORKFLOW Enter feet, inches and fractions with a dedicated keypad, or use decimal millimeters. Choose display precision without rounding the underlying calculation. Open diagrams fullscreen to inspect large layouts. Organize saved calculations by project, line and spool. Add drawing numbers, revisions, operator details and notes, then include them in fabrication PDFs. Search your library and make copies without overwriting the original. Export and restore local JSON backups through the system file picker. BRANCH TEMPLATES Create tiled saddle and lateral templates for A4, A3 or Letter paper, with overlap, alignment marks and a 100 mm calibration square. Print at actual size and measure both axes before use. Templates omit kerf, bevel, wall thickness and weld shrinkage; always check against the workpiece. Technical notes explain the calculation assumptions and application limits. Bundled standards data has no recorded source edition and is not a substitute for current project standards. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Calculations work without a network connection and stay on your device. Network access is used only to check the App Store for a newer version. No accounts, no data collection, no ads, no tracking. Pipefitter's Mate is a tool to assist. Always verify against project specifications before fabrication.
