Thats a solid quick way to get your OD Radius to make your cut. But it doesn't get your the Center to End dimension. If you use the formula in the Blue Book you can get the Exact Outside and Inside radius cut marks. We laid out a flanged Elbow that had a leak in it. It was originally a field fit with slip ons and a mitered 60° Ell. We measured the existing piece, Angle(60°), C to Face of Each flange, and the flange rolls. Did the math in the office and came up with your Mitered cut dimensions and new Center to End dimensions. It also had a 10° flange roll on the bottom(vertical run) flange that was tricky to get the angle on. We ended up needing to take 1/4" off 1 flange and 1/2" off the other. Fit it up, welded it out and it fit perfeclty. No field fit Slip Ons required. Not sure how many Pipefitters would have been able to figure that out, sketch it, fab it and make it fit first try. Only been a fitter for 4yrs but learned from some Layout guys that are absolute Wizards. Rolling offsets? no problem. Mitered Ells? No problem? Rolled Flanges on a vertical run? np. Rolled Lateral Tees? Tricky as Fuck but made it fit first try. Couldnt be more grateful to John and Jim the Pipefitter/Layout Wizards.
Is there another way to make sure the fitting is properly squared? With out an angle finder? My boss asked me to use a square to check my bevel on some 45s i made and i drew blanks.
Just measure the outside radius and take that number let's say 167, go 167/90=1.88 let's say rough numbers lol, then go 1.88 X what ever degree u want let's say 30 so it's 1.88x30 =55 so u remeasure and u mark 55 on the tape do same to other side but number will b different but same process then score line all way round do this same math for any angle I just choose 30 can be 23 27 38 any weird angle u want lol hope this helps u
Couldn’t you just do the same thing you did for the top of the 90 to the bottom and get a mark on the top and the bottom and just connect the two or no?
Yeah that works, but the string wrapped and pulled tight will go to the shortest distance around the elbow which is right where it would be on the bottom and will yield the same result. Not a bad idea to use that to double check it before you cut it. 👍🏻😊
Most pipe fittings 22, 45, 90 ecy.. butt weld fittings come with some sort of bevel on them.. after you cut one in half.. you need to re bevel it.. either by hand or machine..

The best one I've come across yet for cutting down angles cheers mate

Amazing knowledge sharing Sr easy, clear and just to the point. Thank you so much
Awesome video, thanks mate. The string technique is a brilliant one
Great video..thank you.
Wow perfect video , easy to understand and straight to the point , thank you sir
That's a nice setup!

Nice technique sir, tq for the teaching
If you have a 45 instead of a 90 would you just cross multiple then divide by 45 instead
Good video! How do you mathematically calculate your take-offs for the modified fittings?

Dang dude dumb it down to the 3rd grade level brought the apples out and everything 😂😂
Shiii it worked lol
9 3/8 "÷90 × 37 ....Thanks
Beats the sin angle thing..

what the hell is that big ass revovler
A big ass revolver lol
i do have a better way than your doing that all is needed is a welding rod to get any degree on a 90 for a tie ins
Do those elbows come pre-bevelled from a supplier ?
They are laser cut plate. I designed them and sell them on my website www.offthehookdesignandfab.com
