Man, there's thousands of videos on internet...but yours are very practical, easy to understand, and they've been very helpful. I think your videos are some of the best here by far.
thanks Jake Im a journeyman myself but like to see you helping others. Plus we dont all know everything. I sometimes dont take off for gap or gaskets either depending on the accuracy needed.
man what a great job I learned more from u in five minutes than from two years of pipe fitting in GA USA that's really sad as hell and really says a lot about you sir keep it up and we can all learn something thank u sooo much
600 lb is the pressure rating of the pipe and begins with 150 PSI and up to 2, 500 PSI. I'm a metric man and its leaps years ahead of imperial measurements and so easy 2 figure as well.
Jacob Schofield heck yeah, keep up the awesome work! You guys inspire a lot of ppl to turn stacks of dimes into dollars, and that's why we do it! Stay safe out there
jacob bustoutschofield hahahah jerkey are your feelings hurt cause I wouldn't help you!! Lol. Glad your with us man and once again thanks for spelling my name right. Lol
jacob bustoutschofield hey man he may not know it all but he knows enough to cash in on $200,000+ from what he does know.... Can you say the same???? Lol prolly not keep hatin bro
I learned how to fab pipe in a stainless shop. I guess I got babied cus I never had to do takeoffs since it was all done for me on the print. Let me ask you this. Besides the 3x2-T being a diffrent takeoff on one side, is there anything else that can trip you up without going to the book everytime? And do you account for your gap when throwing it together or is that like within tolerance? Again thanks for the info you guys are throwing out there man.
It can also be distinguished by the 1/4 inch raised face. 300 and 150#'s are 1/16 inch raised face flanges. On my blue book, it states that a 600# 3 inch flange take off is 3 1/4?
Make sure your book accounts for the raised faced on the flange. Most books don't account for the raised face on the heavier flange and it will be in small letters in a side note. Books are OK but an actual tape measure is always the best.
In the 1970's I was hired as a pipe welder just out of school . I go to the guy that lays out the pipe angles and made cuts and fit ups I asked him to teach me how to layout. All I got was a flat out NO! So I went to one of the older welders in the company and asked him what was up with that ? He told me he would not teach anyone ! Don't take it personaly
Gaskets don’t really apply here though bud.. he’s not fabricating more than one piece together with a flange hook up.. if he was, then you’d be correct.
jimgam730 You can download them from the App Store for iPhone (Pipe Trades Pro). I don’t remember the price for the app. You can also get the standard construction calculator (Construction Master Pro). I’m pretty sure that one was $24.99. I don’t have android, but it would be a fair bet they are available on the Play Store as well.
I like how you use feet and inches instead of just inches I bet you have to use a calculator alot you can simplify your take offs by using just inches and not miss or end up staring at the print trying to figure that out.
Hello There you sir are so right. I mean I’ve been faking my way through pulling measurements andcerlding for the past 7 years. God bless you for pointing that out. I had no idea. Be blessed
