Pipefitter's Mate: Pipe Offset
Florin Chiriac
Stop scrap. Pipefitter's Mate is the offset calculator built for real pipefitters — fast enough for the jobsite, accurate enough for the fab shop. Type your run and offset. The app gives you exact cut lengths, takeoffs, setbacks, weld gaps, and a visual spool diagram you can take to the saw. From simple 45° offsets to compound and rolling offsets — same workflow, same speed. WHAT IT DOES • Pipe offset calculations: 45°, 22.5°, 11.25°, 60°, custom angles • Rolling offsets and compound offsets • Cut length, travel, takeoff, setback — all displayed at once • Weld gap math for multi-stick spools (gap is per joint, not per pipe end) • ASME B16.9 elbow dimension reference built in • Visual spool diagram updates as you type • Catches input errors before you cut steel (12-rule validation engine) WHO IT'S FOR Pipefitters, steamfitters, welders, plumbers, sprinkler-fitters, gas-fitters, HVAC pros — apprentice or journeyman. If you lay out pipe for a living, this is your calculator.
