[TheForge] pipe fitting

[R.C.Mundt]

Heres what I came up w/ for a 30 degree branch on 5" pipe
Divide the c ircumfrence ot the pipe into 4 equal parts, numbered like =
this.

                                    1

                        4                      2

                                     3

At 1 make a mark 3/4" from the end of the pipe w/ a wraparound connect =
this point w/ points 4 and 2 on the end of the pipe,draw the cut line =
along the wraparound.
At 3 make a mark 10 3/4" from the end,using a wraparound connect this =
point w/ points4and 2 on the end and draw the second cut line.

Here's the process, draw a full size picture of the branch and header, =
the cut line is from the points where the outside of the pipe meet to =
the point where the center lines meet.  transfer the measurements from =
the picture to the pipe and using a wraparound mark the cut lines.

The book I have is THE PIPE FITTERS AND PIPE WELDERS HANDBOOK by Thomas =
W. Frankland.
