thanks in advance
thanks in advance

Are you talking about the actual design, that is, material selection, thickness, etc. and stress analysis and welding design; or are you talking about the layout of the various pieces so they fit together and can be welded? This layout, cutting and fitting can be done on two pieces of pipe to be fit together, or on two pieces of plate/sheet which must then be formed and made into pipes which will then fit together? They are two very different animals, sorta encompassed by the term design.

my question was about the intersection of pipes in fittings >> e.g if i want to make a 10 inches branch in a 16 inches header with 45 degree .. how to cut the pipes to make perfect mesh between the two pipes
this method is about dividing the perimeter of the pipes into segment and then do some calculations .
i want to learn this method
thanks alot

It requires no calculation, just accurate drawing and transfering of dimensions or template over the sheetmetal to be cut and rolled or over the surface of two pipes.
In the case of pipes, the thickness of the walls must be considered, as well as the angles of the cut for a best welding.
The explantion in this link may help you:

PS : if the pipeline is with inside pressure, be careful to what said by Lnewqban !!

Dear chicopee .. i guess i wasn't that good in showing my point .. to fully get my point use the ( Plate n Sheet ) software .. it's a very small program .. i just wanna do what it does manually .. thanks alot sir
