Pipe Craftsmen

Pipe Craftsmen is the pipefitter's toolbox: the numbers you work to, in the tape's own language, with every dimension copied from the published tables and every drawing showing where the number runs on the steel.

THE SPOOL

Build a spool piece by piece - pipe, fittings, valves, field welds - branching at a tee. Add an offset the way you measure it, run and offset, or a rolled one with its roll; the elbows go in by themselves, stock 45s or a 90 cut down to the odd angle. Lay an equal spread beside it. Read the drawing as an iso, a plan or any elevation, put the ruler on a pipe or on a whole line from turn to turn, and get the cut list: every cut less the fittings, every weld counted.

THE RULER

One pipe with any fitting or valve at each end: set it by the length you know and read between any two points - centers, faces, pipe ends, the throat or the heel.

THE ISOMETRIC

Draw a run leg by leg, or sketch it with a finger on the grid. Turn the compass, swipe between the iso, the plan and the elevations. With the bender attached, every turn becomes a bend: the tube to cut, each bend's angle and centerline mark, and the roll between bends.

THE CALCULATOR

Feet, inches and fractions natively - 5'-6" + 3'-9" reads back 9'-3". Metric keys, angle mode with decimal and DMS entry, store and recall shared across every keypad in the app, session history, and your starred measurements one tap from the display.

THE FITTINGS REFERENCE

Every dimension of every fitting, from the published tables: butt weld, socket weld, threaded, flanges, grooved, copper, no-hub cast iron and PVC. Every page draws its fitting in section with the selected takeoff dimensioned on the steel. Set your root gap, socket pull-back, thread make-up, grooved separation and no-hub stop once; every takeoff in the app follows. The Fitting Finder searches the whole set without leaving the calculator.

THE TOOLS

- Pipe Offset, plain or rolled: solve the triangle, then the fitting each end needs, the pipe between and its weight

- Triangle: any two facts of the right triangle, the rest solved and drawn

- Equal Spread: the advance that keeps parallel lines parallel through a turn

- Miter Joints: cut angle, cutback, and the blank drawn flat on the bench

- Fitting Cutdown: a 90 cut to any angle, with the three arcs to mark

- Rolled Olet: set a roll angle with a tape measure

- Tube Bending: one bend, a run of bends, or a run drawn as an iso

- Pipe Information: bore, wall, circumference, the weights you rig by, and the water it holds

- Abbreviations: what the letters on a print mean

SHARE IT

Send a spool, run or ruler to your partner as a file; a tap opens it on their phone, figured the way you figured it. Export everything at once to a new phone.

IN YOUR POCKET

Built for a phone held one-handed on a rack: big keys, answers that read at arm's length, and everything working without a signal. On a tablet the pages open out.

PRO

The calculator, pipe information and a selection of fittings in every connection are free. Pro opens the rest: a monthly or yearly subscription, or a lifetime license bought once that never renews.
