Pipe Calc Elite™

Offsets and fittings

• Simple and rolling offsets: offset, run, travel, roll and advance
• Take-out and cut length for butt-weld long and short radius and field-cut elbows, and for threaded elbows: Class 150 and 300 malleable iron (ASME B16.3), Class 125 and 250 cast iron (ASME B16.4), and Class 3000 and 6000 forged steel (ASME B16.11)
• When the fittings are longer than the centerline allows, the cut length shows Short By and the amount, so you know how much to change
• Thread make-up by pipe size, or enter your own
• Welder's gap, cutbacks, arc lengths and odd-angle fittings
• Enter your own take-out when your fittings differ from the standard
• Slope, grade, drop per foot and fitting angle

Pipe data

• Steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, brass, PVC and copper, 1/8" to 42", with dimensions per ASME B36.10 and B36.19 and the ASTM copper and PVC standards
• Schedules 10 to 160, Standard, Extra Strong and Double Extra Strong; stainless 5S, 10S, 40S and 80S, plus Schedule 160; PVC Schedule 40, 80, 120 and SDR 21 to 41; copper Type K, L, M, DWV, Medical and ACR
• Inside and outside diameter, wall thickness, internal area, volume per foot, and dry and filled weight per foot, with a labelled cross-section drawing
• Filled weight for water or any fluid density you set

Flow and pressure loss

• Pressure loss by flow rate or velocity, per foot or over a run
• Darcy-Weisbach with Colebrook-White friction
• Ten valves and fittings, from 90° and 45° elbows to gate, globe, angle and swing check valves, with loss coefficients from the ASHRAE Handbook by size and by threaded or welded joint
• Water temperature from 32 to 212°F, chilled to boiler water, sets the viscosity
• Answers in psi, psf, feet of head, inches of mercury, kPa and bar, with the Reynolds number and friction factor used
• Flow, velocity, force, pressure and area solved from each other

Calculator and conversions

• Add, subtract, multiply and divide feet, inches and fractions, with meters and millimeters mixed in
• Fractional resolution from 1/2" down to 1/64"
• Areas and volumes carry their units: 5 in x 5 in is 25 square inches
• Conversions for length, area, volume, weight, flow, velocity, pressure, force and temperature
• Sine, cosine, tangent and their inverses, degrees-minutes-seconds, powers and roots, and percent
• Store values and recall them later, even after the app is closed; a recalled value can start or finish a calculation

Help and display

• Hold Offset, Travel, Convert or any other function key for about a second and the manual opens at that key's section, with its worked examples
• The full user's manual covers every function key, is built in under Help, and is linked on this page as a PDF
• A dark design with support for larger text sizes
