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.

A Timeless Classic! Compact and pocket-sized, this handy reference contains thousands of facts and figures relevant to pipefitters, steamfitters-anyone concerned with layout and installation of pipe. Features Provides answers to all sorts of problems indigenous to power and industrial pipebending, and the fabrication of welding fittings in both shop and field. Logically categorizes all material according to job description, supporting each working table with a clear example of how to use it. Includes a special reference section that gives instant data on the 24 most useful on-the-job subjects, such as spark tests for metals, sheet metal weights, valve types, weights and measures, and many more. Discusses all types of bends; elbows, tees, and crosses; plastic pipe; soldering and brazing; travel and run; fitting dimensions; threading pipe; relative physical properties; and more.

Most pipe fitters are well trained in the practical aspects of the job, but lack the needed math skills. The only way to be secure in your work is to increase your skill level in math to the point that you have the tools necessary to do your job.

Here are portable, quick-look-up answers to the most common math problems faced by plumbers, pipelayers, pipefitters, and steamfitters. This time-saving reference allows users to get results instantly without putting pencil to paper or fiddling with a calculator. Job-simplifying Fast Code Facts and Sensible Shortcut boxes Packed with calculations, formulas, charts and tables NEW CHAPTER on estimating take-offs Great for designing or estimating a project

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

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.
