Piping Dimensions
(OP)
I'm a piping draftsman in Australia. Some of my fellow workers have a sliding chart. These charts are very fast for looking up pipe, elbows, tees, valves, flanges and studbolts.
All you do is move the sliding scale to the pipe size I.E. 6" and all dimensions are shown.
My problem is, they are not sold in Australia anymore.
Will somebody please tell me where I can purchase one

Mine are quite old but both were free from pipe manufacturers.

I cant find who made two of my pipe dimension slide charts and can't find the third. I have another slide chart made by IWA in Germany and several different ones made by American Slide Chart Corporation.
You might also check with one of the larger promotional products distributors.

Go to the tools page, and then click on fittings. It's a link called "Pipe and vessel data"

Thanks for reminding me. I saw the guys in the drafting room at the Yorktown Refinery using such a device so I went over and asked them what they were. They are using both the slide and the wheel type of Piping Selector as described on the site posted above. Since I was interested, they gave me a wheel and it is really great.
One of my discussion board buddies in Houston sent me something that is also great, a MS Excel spreadsheet with all the pipe fittings, flanges and valves, etc. The spreadsheet also has several "solvers" (e.g., triangle solver, platform designer, etc). The spreadsheet also has standard rolled steel shapes.
I use all these things while developing pipe stress analysis models.
Regards, John.
