The new handbook

Field formulas with the method explained.

The 51-page reference manuscript contains original worked examples, 22 practice problems with worked answers, six geometry diagrams, a formula finder and three printable field worksheets.

  • Fractions, units and right-triangle trigonometry
  • Two-elbow and rolling offsets
  • Fitting takeouts, stock cuts and root-gap references
  • Slope, bend arcs, miters and bolt circles
  • Pipe area, volume and estimated mass
  • Welding processes and procedure records
  • Travel speed, arc energy and fillet quantity estimates
  • Fit-up, inspection and turnover planning

Planned reader formats: PDF and EPUB. The manuscript is a technical review draft. It covers core field methods and does not replace an apprenticeship, engineering design, a governing code or an approved welding procedure.

Companion mobile app

The app project combines the handbook with 19 calculators: nine construction tools and ten pipe and welding math tools.

  • Offline handbook with search and bookmarks
  • US customary and metric results
  • Saved inputs, results and project notes
  • Local backup import and export
  • iPhone and iPad project plus Android project
  • Planned one-time paid download
