Jacob thanks for uploading these videos man. I am going through an apprenticeship right now for the pipefitters and I never get to do any pipefitting jobs, I am in an odd position where I just do work not even related to the trade, so it is nice to freshen up on stuff I don't ever get to use to make sure I can keep it in my head. thanks brother.
We do all socket weld fittings in the steel mill for our pipework. Does your takeoff formula work the same for those or just for the mandrel bent fittings like you use in the field?
Ive been trying to explain to my wife the trig we do, these fitting videos are great!! Please use more drawings or maybe some small cooper pipe on a table for a demo, that way she has a good reference. Maybe with your help my wife will become my fitter!!
Great video Jacob, what I do to find my take off for a 45 I multiply the pipe size times .625 and it gives you the same answer. 45s Pipe size X .625=TO 90s Short radius: the pipe size is the take off Long radius: pipe size X 1.5= TO Extra long radius: pipe size x 3= TO
Hi Jacob , My name is Enrique Guevara you have inspire me to become a welder. I live in a small town North of Houston. I'm a senior in high school, I look forward to become the best welder that I can become. No I did not take welding class during my 4 years but I have construction tech. During the summers I work with my father in custom home building. However I don't like that as much as welding. I want to ask you, how can I get started.
Hey I am in electrical school and I have absolutely no experience in welding. I watch your videos and wonder if I'm doing the right thing and if there is something that I am missing out on. Should I weld, is It worth it and have you met any industrial electricians that love their job or any that hate it. I'm looking for the best path and trade to start making money sooner and get into a trade that will guarantee a good living for a long time..... my question is that can you give me some tips and what you would do maybe in my postion
Hey Jake another way your students can find a way to do a take off for 45 degree fittings and if they have a calculator handy is to multiply the size of pipe by .625. Hope your doing well brother and will chat at ya later.
Sorry Jake I guess I should have read all the comments first because what I said someone had already mentioned it. My bad brother. Keep up the good work.
The 1.414 comes from the square root of 2. From trigonometry, the long side of that triangle is the short side length times the sine of a 45 degree angle. That gives you square root of 2 times the short side length
What you are explaining are Long radius take offs. Can you explain to the viewers the difference for short radius takeoffs. So for those who dont understand the differences. But short radius take offs are way easier. Great video btw jacob thanks be blessed!
Joel Resendiz from what I understand, the 45 are standard, the only ones that differ are your 90. 90s Short radius=pipe size Long radius= pipe size x 1.5 Extra long radius= pipe size x 3
Keep those coming jake those videos are the best passing on your knowledge thanks
Morning brother i use the formula to get my 45 that one works great thank you for sharing your ideas with us keep on welding and be safe
Keep those helpful videos coming!!! Thank you and your family

Good job you make it simple.
Pipe diameter x 5/8= 45degree take off is what I use, great video!
Thanks for the video very helpful have not welded pipe in a long time I weld food grade material
did fab work prepair u for the pipeline weldin that u do
I started on the pipelines so if anything it taught me how to be fast and once I figured out the fab it all clicked.
Got an education with this video Jake!
Good job bud
Keep the math going good video keep it coming

Good job!
Good Explanation.
Thank you.

That'll be some team 😂
Great video
Great video Jacob, what I do to find my take off for a 45 I multiply the pipe size times .625 and it gives you the same answer.
45s
Pipe size X .625=TO
90s
Short radius: the pipe size is the take off
Long radius: pipe size X 1.5= TO
Extra long radius: pipe size x 3= TO
Welder by day, math teacher by night
all day
I just learned this In class. I just need that pipe trades pro calculator to convert the numbers

I use the 3 4 5 method
Thnx👍👍
I saw on your truck you have Idaho plates. If your in town this winter we should meet up. I want to be a pipe welder. I live in kuna
made sense but being from canada learning conversions i feel is going to be very important

The 9" side would either be the set or run, the "travel" is the piece you are looking for, but good video, I watch em all!
We get taught the same thing in union apprentiships, but still, Local Alexandria 247 Louisiana shoutout
Thank ya sir

Gotta love a little Pythagorean in the morning!!!
oh for sure.
There is a quicker way to find the takeout of a 45 if you have a calculator, it will be the pipe size x .625 or 5/8 of the pipe diameter
Sweet
The 1.414 comes from the square root of 2. From trigonometry, the long side of that triangle is the short side length times the sine of a 45 degree angle. That gives you square root of 2 times the short side length
Awesome thanks Lowell
Is it not in mm not inches
Not a lot of people know this... but multiply nominal size of pipe, (4”) x 5/8 and it’ll give you center of a 45.
wrote that down in my blue book. Thank you very much for the great tip.
🎉
For 90 grades : 6"x38 equal 228mm and for 45grades 6x16equal 96 mm
man that would be super helpful if I knew how to do anything in mm i probably should learn.

Joel Resendiz from what I understand, the 45 are standard, the only ones that differ are your 90.
90s
Short radius=pipe size
Long radius= pipe size x 1.5
Extra long radius= pipe size x 3
Pipefitters watch these videos it will help a lot to feed pipe
Easier way for a 45 take off is to multiply by 5/8
I got 12.726
Diagonal, not run, run is horizontal, rise is vertical. You have a contractor's calc, it should give you all 3.
Hypotenuse is the word you’re looking for.
offset x 1.414 = travel get a pipe trades pro calculator
Pythagorean theorem.
Best thing ever.
