PIPE & WELDING
WITHOUT THE GUESSING.

PipeDog turns common pipefitting math into a fast field tool. Enter the dimensions, see the answer, then see the formula that produced it. Save a cut sheet locally and keep working even when service is bad.

Field Calculators

Start with the calculation you need.

Ready

Simple Offset

Run, travel and final cut after takeouts.

Press Calculate.
Show Me How
The exact substitutions will appear here.

Rolling Offset

Resolve rise + roll into the true offset.

Press Calculate.

Equal-Spread

Equal center-to-center spread across the whole bank.

Press Calculate.

Pipe Weight

Weight from OD, wall and length using a steel-density assumption.

Press Calculate.

Saddle / Lateral

Centered cylinder-intersection geometry for the branch cut only.

Press Calculate.

Miter

Single-cut miter layout. Angle is the cut angle measured from square.

Press Calculate.

Live Geometry

The drawing follows the active calculation.

Local geometry engine ready.

The viewer is intentionally self-contained. It does not pretend to be a code-compliance model or replace field verification.

Project Backup

Export/import JSON to move your local jobs and fitting records between devices. Imported JSON is treated as data; no code is executed.

Learning Mode

Practice the same math without touching a live job.

Apprentice Mode

Short field-math questions with hints.

Unit Converter

Decimal inches, feet/inches/fractions and millimeters.

Press Convert.

Formula Reference

travel = offset ÷ sin(angle) run = offset ÷ tan(angle) cut = travel − takeout 1 − takeout 2 true offset = √(rise² + roll²) spacing = total spread ÷ (pipes − 1) step-ahead = spacing × tan(angle ÷ 2) total step-ahead = total spread × tan(angle ÷ 2)

The formulas are shown so the user can independently check the result.

PipeDog Pro

The free field calculator is the foundation. Pro is where the time-saving workflow will live: more calculators, verified fitting libraries, advanced offsets, shareable cut sheets and job organization.

Verified fitting database
Source, edition and manufacturer traceability instead of mystery takeouts.
Advanced fabrication tools
Compound offsets, flange work, back-to-back fittings and additional field geometry.
More printable templates
Templates and cut sheets designed for actual shop/field use.
No fake precision
Anything that has not been independently verified is labeled as such.

No payment is required to use this version. Pricing can be added after real tradespeople use the site and we know which Pro features are worth paying for.

Quality Control

Run the built-in arithmetic regression checks any time. The checks cover every field calculator in this release.

Core QA

Press Run QA.

Runtime Diagnostics

Checking…

QA checks arithmetic. It does not certify fitting dimensions, weld procedures, reinforcement design or code acceptance.
