Piping Offset Calculator provides precise dimensions and cut lengths for different types of piping offset spool configurations, pipe sizes, and bend angles. Piping Offset Calculator is designed to be used by draftsman, designers, engineers, and construction personnel. Piping Offsets have never been easier to calculate. The offset calculator is very intuitive and flexible: the graphical menu is provided to easily select the type of offset you wish to compute. User supplies any three sides and/or angles combination(s). The user is presented with the solved graphical representation of the offset. The complete graphics include multiple solution views which provide clear, graphical, design and fabrication data. All bend angles, tangents, cut lengths, rise, run, hypotenuse, miter angles, roll angles, inside and outside arc lengths of mitered ells, etc are presented. User can select 1/4" through 48" pipe sizes, preset bend or ell radius, or the user can also choose a fixed user input numerical radius for those unusual bend radius requirements. Even though the offset calculator automatically calculates trimmed elbows (per user request), now includes a separate tool to calculate trimmed elbow dimensions. To learn more about this useful tool, browse www.jplanaux.com or go to you tube and search "Piping Offset Calculator".

Looking to ditch those pressure chart recorders or run a digital chart recorder side by side for testing various types of pipelines? Download the Hydro App to see live pressure, min/max, and set alarms to monitor the test window pressure. This includes an alarm to instantly bleed off or add pressure to the pipe for those temperature swings. Tap the graph feature and see a live trending graph on your Apple phone or tablet. All this while the data is being stored on the gauge in memory for a permanent record using the Hydro Test Management software or simply send a .pdf file with reading and graph. The app works with all Vaetrix ETG or HTG products regardless if they have just pressure or pressure/temperature. View and email files in the field for easy distribution, therefore saving time and money before you even leave the job. Data includes a date/time stamp for validity and all readings are traceable back to NIST if the gauge is within calibration. This takes the guess work out of whether the test was completed for the correct amount of time and designated test pressure, therefore satisfying the inspector or auditing body.
