What is saddle in piping?
A pipe saddle is a structure consisting of a saddle and integral base that is used to support the pipe by transmitting the load or forces to the adjacent structure.
What is saddle depth?
The depth of the seat influences how the rider is supported in the saddle. A less deep seat allows the rider to move backwards and forward in the saddle.
What is a pipe ferrule?
A pipe ferrule is a type of pipe fitting made of various materials used especially for joining or binding one part to another (as pipe sections). Pipe ferrules are available in various sizes.
What is a pipe stanchion?
A pipe stanchion is a rigid pipe support that prevents movement in industrial piping systems in any direction—upward, downward, or sideways—without allowing any rotation in the system.
How does the pipe saddle layout calculator work?
Pipe Saddle Layout Calculator provides the offset layout dimensions for that perfect pipe joint. This calculator works with any size pipe, any angle of intersection, and any wall thickness of pipe.
What’s the best way to cut a pipe saddle?
35 degrees work great for pipe of the same diameter, but saddles are often done on various size pipe. If the pipe being cut fits over the pipe being saddled, then set the saw to 45 degrees. Set the blade to cut on the center of the pipe. Turn, and cut again, just like before, except the pipe will be pointed.
How to calculate the diameter of a pipe?
Extend vertical lines from the point where the lines drawn in #2 intersect the circle to the angle of cut. Obtain the circumference of the pipe by multiplying the diameter X 3.1415. Draw a line to the right of the vertical pipe that is below the lowest point on the angled cut. The length of this line will be that obtained in step 4.
How to make a template for a pipe?
Subdivide the line drawn into 16 equal segments and number the lines 1 to 9 then back down to 1 as shown. Intersect the numbers as show. (1 to 1, 2 to 2, 3 to 3 etc..) Draw a line through these intersecting points as shown then cut out the template. Wrap the pipe and mark and counterpunch.
What is the pipe saddle layout calculator app?
Pipe Saddle Layout Calculator is a iPhone app that provides the fitter with the points to make an accurate cut (fish mouth, cope, etc) for piping (cylinder to cylinder) intersections. This app is intended to be used by fitters, welders, fabricators, or anyone who needs to join two metal cylinders at any angle.

How to calculate the size of a pipe cut?
Measure up your first vertical line the distance of one half the diameter of the top pipe plus .25″, and draw another short line intersecting the vertical at 0 degrees. Use this intersection as the center point and draw a circle to represent the inner edge of the upper pipe with a diameter of 21.00″.
What do you mean by a saddle cut?
This last summer I was contacted my father who needed to layout the pattern for a saddle cut for an irrigation system he was installing. A saddle cut is a way of cutting one pipe to match the outside curved surface of another pipe.
