Showing ways on making standard hvac ducting and utilizing those skills to also have fun by showing other ways on how shapes can be made out in the world.
Hey good evening my name is Kris from Philippines I have question for you .. if my diameter is 20" is this the same formula of 8" diameter? Thank you for the answer question
Goodmorning Kris...yea a 20" diameter would be the same steps as the 8" or anysize for that matter. I'm curiouse as to what your building with a 20"? Have a good day Kris.
Hola @paulohenriquesampaio6243 , esos los puede encontrar en Amazon que les llaman "dividers" o tambien en la tienda de Harbor Freight. Que tenges buen dia.
Thank you for putting these videos on RU-vid. I work in a Sheet Metal shop and I’m required to fabricate these types of fittings using various metals in different guages.
I have a question in my mind and maybe you have solution,examble you are going to do a eccentric reducer and the measurements is 2 meter on the big dia,1meter on the small diameter with 1.7 meter in height,instead of divider,how you will do it?
Ooohhh with no divider tool (compass). Wow that's pretty big. Well dor starters, seeing how it's a big cone, I would do it in (2)pcs. I would use the same methods like my video called Round to Round Cone...A faster Way. I would probably use a long pc of 1x4 wood and drill a screw on one end acting as a pivot sharp point and on the other end secure a pen or a sharp object to act as a divider and use that to throw your big radius. So on the 2 meters, what ever that is in total Round length, I would only do half of that so in your case only one meter so that way you have (2) half. I may attempt that in the future to show that there are other ways to make big radius arcs without a compass. So like how I mentioned on the video that I suggested to you, maybe after your done doing the big arc radius, use a string to trace the radius but only after you measured the string of the length you looking for. Hope it kinda makes sense but in the mean time I'll try to prep a video of that problem. Thx @dionisioerwinmontejo
Thank you for the videos you make they are very useful to me, I hope you continue to make them, in my work I give promotion to your channel, and on my part you will always have a like
Hello @adrianrodriguezcruz103..glad to here that and definitely motivates me to keep going knowing it's helping you and anyone that needs help understanding these layouts. Have a good day.
Hi @paelojustinianoibarra1743. Good news, there is a video of that already made called How to make a (3) segmented 90 degree elbow...posted about 2 months ago. Go check it out my friend and enjoy.
The throat is determined by you depending on how tight in you want it or far out. The radius I'm assuming the diameter of the pipe. If so, then you choose the diameter size and you ×'s it by 3.1416 and youll get the length of the layout.
@@compasslayouts lets say you are insulating an existing pipe on the field with sheet metal. how would you determine the bend? i understand the drawings but i do not know how to find that bend radius .. they use long radius and short radius elbows in industrial piping. is there a formula or a chart they use for center line radius? also there is faster way to divide your layout ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uW3J5w1IMDY.html
Hey @chizzyoni2543. So the lines only reveal themselves once you finished drawing out your diameter, throat size, and finally your degree that you choose. Check out one of the long form videos that I show you how to make 90 degree elbows...maybe start with the video called- How to make a (3) segmented 90 degree elbow. Thx for looking and hope that helps.
That right there what you said is one of my goals...to try to make it make sense. Still more room for improvements as im just starting out putting out videos and not get shy talking to a camera. I'm glad it helped you out @elderkingsley.
I agree. It was the first video I made for this channel with my cellphone. I will be redoing the old videos at some point as i have better equipment to record on. Thx for letting me know. Try going to your settings,quality, advance and make sure it's at 1080p. Again thx for bringing that up and will record that video again soon.
Hey Bruce...very good question. So the spacing or number of pies is determined by how big the diameter or the circle is. Most of my videos, the circles were no bigger than 5 or 6 inches in diameter and so dividing say a quarter of a circle when first plot in 4, striking 5 arcs or rather (4) pies within the quarter pie is enough. Once you start making the circle bigger like say 10 or 15 inches in diameter, you'll find that 4 pies per quarter of that diameter would probably be not enough to give it a smooth radius because it would look blocky....but if you kept spitting the quarter pie into smaller pies like say 9 acres, you'll see that the radius will smooth out more and look more circular than blocky. Hope that made sence...but thx for your question. I'm now going to make a video of that explanation in the future.
