The Ultimate Of Offsets Made Easy For Pipefitters And Welders

This book was created to ease the mind and to simplify the use of offsets and angles to where the beginner as well as the novice pipefitter and welder will understand how easy it is to layout and understand how to calculate offsets and angles. This book will help you understand the everyday tasks of pipe fabrication. On each page I walk you through step by step and show you the formula's for calculating that type of offset. This way, if you have an odd angle or offset that is not shown, you can calculate it with ease by using that same type of formula. This book is designed to help you understand how to layout common and uncommon angles and offsets. Pipefitting and fabrication of piping is basically simple, if you understand the concepts. This book is designed to help you understand these concepts.

This book was created with over (10,000) formulas worked out to create over (1,600) pipe templates to simplify the everyday task of pipe layout and fabrication for pipefitters and welders. In this book you will find pipe templates for the following. Concentric LR 90 degree base ell supports for (1 1/2" pipe on 1 1/2" pipe) through (24" pipe on 48" pipe.) Dummy leg supports laying flat on 90 degree ells (1 1/2" pipe on 2" pipe) through (14" pipe on 48" pipe.) Eccentric LR 90 degree base ell supports (1 1/2" pipe on 2" pipe) through (24" pipe on 48" pipe.) Eccentric throat level LR 90 degree base ell support (1 1/2" pipe on 2" pipe) through (24" pipe on 48" pipe.) 22 1/2 degree lateral through 60 degree lateral (1 1/2" pipe on 1 1/2" pipe) through (24" pipe on 48" pipe.) 7 1/2 degree miters through 45 degree miters (1 1/2" pipe) through (48" pipe) Orange peel head (2" pipe) through (24" pipe) Concentric reducers (3" x 2") through (24" x 22") Eccentric reducers (3" x 2") through (24" x 22") 90 degree concentric saddle tee (1 1/2" pipe on 1 1/2" pipe) through (42" pipe on 48" pipe) 90 degree eccentric saddle tee (1 1/2" pipe on 2" pipe) through (42" pipe on 48" pipe) This book also includes pipe information on decimal equivalents charts, decimal of a foot chart, fitting to fitting make-up dimension chart, formula's for center line dimensions of trimmed elbows, chart for length and spacing dimensions for nozzles with and without reinforcing pads, multiplier constants, pipe circumference chart, pipe data charts by schedule and weights and wall thickness and weights, formula's for solving known and unknown angles, chart for dimensions of span distance for dummy legs, standard valve dimensions chart and trigonometric formula tables.

This little book is big on answers Whether you're an apprentice in the piping trades or a seasoned tradesperson, you'll find this completely revised and updated guide has answers to the questions you'll encounter on the job. Get current, concise facts on * Metrics and conversions * Tungsten inert gas welding and arc welding * Steam heating, hot water, refrigeration, and air conditioning systems * Grooved end/plain end piping systems * Process piping using plastics * Automatic fire protection systems * Terms, BTU fuel values, abbreviations, angle calculations, and more

2012 Reprint of 1959 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This manual is written especially to enable pipefitters to quickly solve problems involving pipe bending, layout or installation, either in shop or in the field. This second edition has 126 pages of additional material than published in the previous edition of 1953. A large part of the book is taken directly from the author's original tables which he has developed over a long period of time, as a result of his 35 years' experience as a pipefitter. These tables eliminate the necessity for making lengthy calculations by giving immediate answers to all kinds of pipe fitting problems. Information on: Pipe Bending, Offsets, Mitered Joints, Standard Pipe Dimensions and Thread Data, Screwed Fittings, Valves, Solder Joint Fittings, Plastic Pipe, Sheet Metal Data, Properties of Steam, Melting Points, Conversion Factors and a Dictionary Of Terms.

This book was designed to ease the mind for pipefitters and welders and to simplify the layout of offsets and angles for the beginner as well as the novice. This book will help you understand how easy it is to layout offsets and angles. Also included in this book are charts showing you the take-off dimensions of pipefittings, flanges, etc. up to 42" and 48" diameter pipe along with gasket information.

Basic information on the most commonly used and difficult fabricating problems.

Piping and Pipeline Calculations Manual, Second Edition provides engineers and designers with a quick reference guide to calculations, codes, and standards applicable to piping systems. The book considers in one handy reference the multitude of pipes, flanges, supports, gaskets, bolts, valves, strainers, flexibles, and expansion joints that make up these often complex systems. It uses hundreds of calculations and examples based on the author's 40 years of experiences as both an engineer and instructor. Each example demonstrates how the code and standard has been correctly and incorrectly applied. Aside from advising on the intent of codes and standards, the book provides advice on compliance. Readers will come away with a clear understanding of how piping systems fail and what the code requires the designer, manufacturer, fabricator, supplier, erector, examiner, inspector, and owner to do to prevent such failures. The book enhances participants' understanding and application of the spirit of the code or standard and form a plan for compliance. The book covers American Water Works Association standards where they are applicable. Updates to major codes and standards such as ASME B31.1 and B31.12 New methods for calculating stress intensification factor (SIF) and seismic activities Risk-based analysis based on API 579, and B31-G Covers the Pipeline Safety Act and the creation of PhMSA
