XPipe Pro: Pipefitter Calc: iPhone vs Android

XPipe Pro works out the numbers a pipefitter needs on the bench and draws the part they belong to, so the figure on screen and the shape in your hands agree.

Every answer comes with a scale drawing of that exact assembly, dimensioned where you would put a tape on it — not a stock diagram of something similar.

35 CALCULATORS

Assembly and layout:
• Two half elbows in one axis — two half elbows in one plane, with or without an insert, solved six ways.
• Rolled elbow — a 90° elbow turned about its inlet and a fitting that lays the run flat again, same six ways.
• 3D run — a line across X, Y and Z, both angles solved separately, with the box you measure drawn around the pipe.
• Elbow cut — an odd angle on an elbow: take-out, heel and throat arcs, chords, heights, and the arcs to mark back from the face you have.
• Segmented elbow — a bend from straight pipe: segment lengths, saw angle, and the wave to wrap round the tube to mark the cut.
• Branch / fishmouth — one pipe into another, square or skew: length to cut, set-back at up to 24 stations, and the hole in the run.
• Eccentric branch — the same joint with axes set apart, each side marked on its own.
• Elbow support — a tube cut to stand under a bend, off a torus seat, not a cylinder.
• Cone layout — the flat sector for a full or truncated cone, with sheet size, area and volume.
• Square-to-round transitions — twelve pieces off one construction, plus a pipe into a pyramid.
• Pipe bank — several lines offset together: how far to hold each fitting back so the spacing holds through the slant.

Shop and welding:
• Dished head — blank diameter and knuckle allowance for hemispherical, elliptical or torispherical heads.
• Fillet weld — throat, leg and weld metal for a or z, so a6 and z6 are never mixed up.
• Reducer cut, purge gas, slope, pipe mass, pressure test, thermal expansion, cold spring, weld prep, shrinkage, flange studs, support spacing, and a scientific calculator with a full expression parser.

WELDER QUALIFICATIONS AND PWHT (NEW IN 2.0)

ISO 9606-1 and ASME IX certificates with their range worked out, renewal dates, reminders and a photo. PWHT under ASME B31.3: whether a weld needs it, the temperature and time, and which condition is missing to skip it.

PIPE ISOMETRICS

Draw a line as you set it out: a direction, a length, the next direction. Elbows and tees place themselves; add valves, flanges, reducers and supports. ISO 6412 symbols, elevations and centre-to-centre dimensions, a bill of materials, and a cut list that flags a take-out it does not know rather than guess it. Out as an A4 or A3 PDF, or as a link another fitter opens.

A STANDARDS LIBRARY SEARCHED BY SIZE

Type a dimension on its own — 53 — and the library returns every standard that tabulates it, saying why: "in the table · DN 50 · Ø53 × 1.5". A drawing quoting a superseded code like DIN 2463 finds the ISO 1127 that replaced it.

98 standards across PN-EN, DIN, ISO, SMS and ASME — pipe and flange tables among them — plus 23
