{ "item_title" : "Pipe Fitter's Layout & Calculation Field Manual", "item_author" : [" Russell F. May "], "item_description" : "Reading the tape is the easy part of pipefitting. Turning that number into a cut that travels through three dimensions, lands on a bolt pattern, and seals under pressure is the real skill.Too often that skill is taught in fragments, between tasks, by whoever happens to be at the bench when an apprentice asks how to figure a rolling offset. The gaps show up later as scrapped pipe, missed tie-ins, mixed-up take-outs, and schedule delays nobody wants to explain.This manual teaches layout math and fitting geometry in a deliberate order, so you can arrive at a cut length that is right before the saw touches the pipe. Worked Examples lay out the Given information, the Steps, and the Answer exactly as you would meet them on the job, and Mistake Autopsy boxes walk through real categories of field error and the rule that prevents each one.Inside, you will learn how to: Use right-triangle math, trigonometric ratios, and fitting constants to solve any offset angleRead isometric, orthographic, and P&ID drawings and match the bill of materials to the printApply center-to-end dimensions and the correct take-out for each joint typeAccount for thread engagement, socket-weld insertion depth, and weld shrinkage in a takeoffLay out 45-degree, rolling, compound, and multi-plane offsets, plus rolling 90sLay out saddles, laterals, and branch connections and prepare cuts, bevels, and fit-ups to toleranceSpace supports, allow for thermal growth, and trace a layout error to its root causeTwenty-two chapters run from the fitter's role and math foundations through drawings, materials, fittings, measurement, every common offset, threading, welding fit-up, joining methods, supports, testing, and troubleshooting. Each chapter closes with a capstone scenario, self-check questions, and practice problems. Reference sections add formula quick references, schedule and take-off tables, unit conversions, a US and European standards comparison, answer keys, and a glossary.Written for apprentices building layout skills from the ground up, journeyman fitters who want a structured reference to check their work, and trade instructors who need a text organized like a curriculum.Keep this manual in your truck or toolbox and get the cut right the first time on your next spool.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/816/107/9798161077290_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "99.99", "online_price" : "99.99", "our_price" : "99.99", "club_price" : "99.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
