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.
