I bombed the rolling and parallel offests sections of my class final today...I really wish I'd had the wherewithall to look this up before-hand...I have my IP in 2 days, so this will be a huge help!!!
40.97 is 40 31/32 not 7/8. It doesn’t sound like much but if you do it several times over the span of the pipe run you might be off quite a bit at the final fit up.
Question, what if the 2 spreads were different? Can you keep a constant spread in your offset cuts? I’m I’m pretty sure it can’t be done, but I’m in a 3 day argument with my foreman over it.
Hey Ben - good question, yes this process will work regardless of the size of the pipes as we are dealing with centre-to-centre measurements. The only issue you would face in determining actual lengths is the fitting allowances for the fittings.
Pipefitters call your travel the "run" and your hypotenuse the "travel "

I know it's a little late in the argument lol, but you'd have to calculate each spread separately
Hey man would this work if there's two different size pipes?
