The Ultimate Template and Layout Pattern Book for Pipefitters and Welders

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.


About the Author
I have worked in the industrial construction piping trades for 43 years. I started out as a pipefitter and welder and worked my way into management and engineering. Through the years I spent a lot of time laying out saddles, laterals, miters dummy legs, etc. I had to lay them out calculating all of my ordinate lines on the pipe. I created this template layout book to save any individual a lot of time of calculating the lines. You can make a template from the book or lay it out directly on the pipe. the dimensions are there for you. Note: If you make a template from the dimensions in this book in lieu of laying it out directly on the pipe, you need to add 4 times the gasket material thickness to the circumference and adjust the ordinate line distance accordingly.
