Branch Pipe Layout

This tool generates precise flat patterns for various pipe and branch connections, including pipe-to-pipe, pipe-to-cone, and truncated cylinders. It simplifies complex fabrication layouts for engineers and fabricators.

Highlights
  • Flat pattern layouts for pipe intersections
  • Pipe to pipe connections (equal/unequal diameter, offset)
  • Pipe or nozzle to cone intersections
  • Standard shell or pipe layouts
  • Truncated pipes/cylinders (angled, radius)
  • Customizable segment divisions

The Branch Pipe Layout App is a specialized tool designed for fabricators, piping engineers, and designers involved in developing flat patterns for branch connections in piping systems. It simplifies the process of generating accurate fabrication layouts for intersections between pipes, nozzles, and cones. Key Features and Capabilities: This app helps you create flat pattern layouts for: - Pipe to Pipe Intersections at 90° with equal or unequal diameters, with or without offset. - Pipe or Nozzle to Cone Intersections at 90° or with parallel axes. - Standard Shell or Pipe Layouts with customizable height and diameter inputs. - Pipes or Cylinders Truncated at an Angle (top, bottom, or both sides). - Pipes or Cylinders Truncated with a Radius at the top. The app provides the unfolded (flat) dimensions of the intersecting parts—such as flat plate width and length—and allows layouts to be divided into 12, 24, 36, 48, 96 parts, or a custom number of segments based on user input. Layout Types Included: - Pipe/Shell Layout: Calculates flat layout for cylindrical shells using diameter and height inputs. Supports user-defined part and level divisions. - Pipe/Cylinder Truncated at Top: Flat pattern for cylinders cut at an angle at the top. Inputs: diameter, large side height, and small side height. - Pipe/Cylinder Truncated Top & Bottom: Layout for pipes cut at an angle on both ends. Inputs include diameter, center height, and both top and bottom side angles. - Pipe/Cylinder Truncated with Radius at Top: For pipes cut with a curved top profile. Inputs: diameter, center height, and radius. - Pipe-to-Pipe Intersection (Equal Diameter, 90°): Layout for equal diameter pipes intersecting at a right angle. Input includes diameters and center distance. - Pipe-to-Pipe Intersection (Unequal Diameter, Offset, 90°): For intersections with different pipe diameters and offset centerlines. Inputs: diameters, center distance, and offset. - Pipe/Nozzle to Cone Intersection (90°): Calculates layout for intersections between cones and pipes/nozzles at right angles. Inputs: cone large/small diameters, cone height, pipe diameter, height from base, and center distance. Pipe/Nozzle to Cone with Parallel Axis: For offset connections between cones and nozzles/pipes with parallel axes. Requires similar inputs as above. Additional Recommendations: For optimal accuracy, it is recommended to use the mean diameter when performing layout calculations. Who Can Benefit: This app is an essential tool for professionals involved in the fabrication of piping spools, pressure vessels, pipelines, and other process equipment. It is particularly useful for: - Piping Engineers - Fabrication & Production Engineers - Pipe Fitters and Layout Fitters - Quality & Costing Engineers - Design & AutoCAD Engineers - Estimators and Draftsmen In app purchase included : Life time Privacy policy : https://privacypolicy50.wordpress.com/privacy-policy-subscription/ Terms and condition :https://privacypolicy50.wordpress.com/terms-and-condition/

Free to use Everyday tools stay free. No account, ads or tracking. CutRight Pro: $14.99 one-time unlock (U.S. price). Optional 24-hour free trial. No subscription or automatic charge. Free conduit and electrical tools • 90° stubs and back-to-back 90s • Basic conduit offsets, laid out to a start or finish point with shrink • Bender reference charts • Voltage drop; amps from watts, kW, kVA and horsepower; Ohm's law • Bend protractor that opens at your bend's angle, with an optional beep; flashlight • A picture of each bend and a live drawing of your conduit • Bender specs (radius, developed length, setback, gain) and an offset angle check • Conduit sizes and weights, trig and gain, parallel resistance, BTU and kWh • Level and plumb on pipe or conduit: lean direction, green within 0.3°, end-for-end calibration Free pipe and measurement tools • Simple pipe offsets, slope and elbow calculations • Pipe sizes, schedules and dimensions • Feet, inches, fractions and unit conversions • Tape Math: add, subtract, multiply and divide measurements; equal-spacing marks • Calculation history CutRight Pro — conduit bending • Rolling and parallel offsets, kicks and kicked 90s • Compound 90 around square, rectangular, round and 45°-turned square columns • Match an existing offset: along the conduit, flat (using the bend radius when available) or by its angle measured with the protractor • Parallel-kick knockout spacing at a box • 3-point and 4-point saddles; segment and concentric bends • Whole-stick layout: a 90 at either end, offsets, saddles, cumulative shrink and cut mark; marks from either end; overlapping bends refused • Estimated warnings when bend marks may be too close CutRight Pro — wire and power • Wire size and maximum run calculations • Transformer current • Power factor correction (kVAR) • Conduit fill for EMT, IMC, rigid, PVC and flex, from manufacturers' published sizes CutRight Pro — pipe and fabrication • Rolling pipe offsets and fitting cut lengths • Mitered bends and branch-saddle layouts • Full-size PDF miter and branch-saddle wrap templates with a 1-inch print check square • Weld metal and thermal expansion calculations Bender charts and jobsite features • Bender charts: Greenlee, Klein and IDEAL hand benders; Gardner Bender EMT hand benders; Greenlee 1800 mechanical; Current Tools 77 electric (multi-shoe) and 753 mechanical; Greenlee 881, 882 and 884/885 hydraulic stubs • Pin the benders you use most and switch from any bend screen • Maker's springback dial readings for supported electric and mechanical 90s • Choose a supported bender or enter your own deduct and radius; remembers your last numbers on bend screens • Field View shows large marks and keeps the screen awake while open • Bend instructions for hook direction and roll; show the math behind each result • Calculations work offline Start free. Upgrade when you need more. The optional 24-hour Pro trial starts when you choose to start it. After it ends, Pro tools lock unless you buy the one-time unlock; free tools remain free. Nothing is charged automatically. CutRight helps with calculations, not full electrical code compliance. No NEC ampacity or conduit-fill tables are reproduced; conduit fill is worked out from manufacturers' published sizes. Verify measurements, your bender's markings, equipment instructions and applicable codes before installation. Bender chart values come from maker references; geometric calculations and trade approximations are labeled in the app. Manufacturer names identify included charts only. CutRight is not affiliated with Greenlee, Klein Tools, IDEAL, Gardner Bender or Current Tools.
