As a fabricator of 40+ years, the last 30 or so as the workshop manager, I have constantly used trigonometry etc. to calculate cones, segmental bends and much more. Nowadays I am constantly asked by the fabricators to calculate developed lengths etc. to save them the time and effort of laying it out. I have developed this app so that they can do it for themselves and therefore save “MY TIME”.

With this Angled Branch app you can quickly develop the pattern for the branch pipe shape and the pattern for the shell hole shape. Enter the required details i.e. branch outside diameter, branch length, branch angle, shell outside diameter and if required branch thickness. Press/touch the develop button/icon and the branch and hole details are displayed ready for marking straight onto the material, the time saved is immeasurable when you consider, that, you do not need to draw the branch full size in two views and then transfer the development lines etc. to determine the true joint line, or work out the developed length pitches of the development lines. This app is a true time saver.
