jwrobichaux in New Orleans, Louisiana 39 months ago	there are many things other than fitting/welding that gose with this job. you have to have a work understanding of oil production. how the equipment works,how to regulate and estimate flow, how to lead others while working yourself, and GOM stands for the gulf of mexico. - Was this comment helpful?

Chad McCann in Kelowna, British Columbia 39 months ago	Yes, I can handle the job. I have an Alberta Red Seal Journeyman (Interprovincial) Steamfitter/Pipefitter ticket and I have 13 years experience in the Alberta Oil/Gas industry. Over the last 6 years, I have held mainly supervisory or Foreman type positions, but I have no problem working on the tools. I am interested in working out of the country or overseas, but I am having trouble finding work that isn't through a recruitment agency or headhunter. How can I apply for the position? If anyone else has any overseas or local positions available, I would like to hear from you. cdmccann79@hotmail.com - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse

jwrobichaux in New Orleans, Louisiana 39 months ago	OK, here we go. the length is 6'-6 1/2". that would be 78.5 you then multiply that by 1.414. then you have center to center on a two dimensional plan. to get the roll you then take the sum of the above and multiply it by 1.414 again to get your travel. it is called the box theory. you know, 3-D then you use the 4X4 formula to determine your take out. and if you didn't already know, it is a 3/16" spacing for this application. the anwser is 12'-3 13/16" DRAFSMAN,DISIGNER,ENGENEER,and been fitting pipe for 26yr. i have been on my present project for 3yrs. make sure your nose is clean before you step off the porch agian son.(ballard) for all the rest, if you are not formiler with these steps or just did not under stand the question, i would be more then happy to chat about it. - Was this comment helpful?

jwrobichaux in New Orleans, Louisiana 39 months ago	when you are fitting a 45 vert. on a 45 roll the 3-D box is really a rectangle. if you take the 45 and roll it 90deg. you will notice that it doesn't make it to the far lower corner on the adjacent side of the box. it will only travel haft way. so you must compound the formula to get the desired results.try and think about it. - Was this comment helpful?

mic in Vicksburg, Mississippi 39 months ago	well how goes it jwrobichaux in New Orleans. These articles of pipefitting and takeoffs are great but I was hoping to see who was willing to do some hiring and do some work. I probably won't make the money you are making, that is usually reserved for project mgrs., OIMs, and OPMs. However, during this week I did land a job with GIS and they have a new project with SHELL ( PERDIDO PLATFORM in 7800 ft of GOM water ) down by the YUCATAN PENISUALA - Alamidos Canyon ( my spelling may not be correct ) but I am always looking for good companies with challenging projects and good people.

I am the proud wife of a real pipe fitter.What's this all about? What's the money? The PD? Is there travel pay? Is it a tobacco-free job? I do the paperwork ,the calling ,the resumes being e-mailed,the taxes at the end of the year.All my husband wants to have to do is go to work. We are travelers and we came home to do the taxes,stayed at the lake toolong with the fire and the water. Bottom line,it's time to go back to work.

jwrobichaux in New Orleans, Louisiana 39 months ago	ok, i know it was a trick question, but it is not BS. it is from a fitting test for kerr mcgee that we made in the 80's. not something they teach you because it not always necessary. it stump me the first three times i tried too. but it is real, and that is the answer. - Was this comment helpful?

I think it's funny how everyone was claiming their answer is right calling names and not one of them tried to explain how they actually got their answer. I can be honest up front I didn't even want to try to figure that one out. I've only got a about 5 or more years experience in pipefitting and can almost always get the pipe where it needs to go whether or not I have a blueprint, iso, or nothing at all. If I can't do it on paper I'll put the measurements out on the ground moving things around till I can get what I need. I've been in situations where I wasn't given an iso or any dimentions just told where the pipe needs to start and where it needs to end and I have to install it so that it looks like it belongs. Going around obsticles and all that. I think pipefitting is fun and I enjoy challenges. I'm not the best with blueprints, isos, or math but I can always seem to get the job done and make it look good at the same time. - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse

jwrobichaux in New Orleans, Louisiana 36 months ago	the 4X4 is a simple way to get the take out of most common fittings what ever the size of the pipe is the root of your 4X4. if you are working with 6" pipe then the way it would go is 1/2 of 6" =3", 1/2 of 3"= 1 1/2", 1/2 of 1 1/2" = 3/4". then you take the anwsers and use them to get your take out. #1 and #2 = the take out of a 90. #2 and #4= the take out of a 45. #3 and #4= the take out of a butt weld flange and so on. test this out for your self, if you are using standerd fittings it should work and makesit easier to get your take outs if you are spooling alot of lines. dose not work with all fitting, so try it out before you get carried away. - Was this comment helpful?

beermantm in Palos Hills, Illinois 36 months ago	jwrobichaux, Here is your original question: 6" pipe on the vert. 45's to the side with a travel of 6'-6 1/2". it is also rolled 45 deg. out of sq. butt weld fittings,black iron pipe, and 6GR tig procedures. what is your cut length? I was reading this thread and noticed you ask a question then give an answer which I still do not understand. You give a travel as the only measurement on a problem that looks like nothing more than a rolling offset. In order to solve a rolling offset you need the set+roll and not the travel. Why would you ever multiply a travel by 1.414? You use 1.414 to find the travel. Also if you are on a vertical run you probably are never going to need to do a rolling offset since finding the set is usually a straight forward process. When you run horizontally you may find a spot where you may have to climb a few feet and over a few feet at the same time and you will need to figure a rolling offset. On a rare occasion that you can't drop a plumb bob for a vertical run you may need to do a rolling offset for a vertical run. I highly doubt you'll ever run into a situation where all you know is the travel length of your C2C measurement. Your question also never mentions the fact that you are using butt weld flanges. You do have butt weld fittings in it but no mention of flanges. I don't understand how the flanges would make a difference to the length anyway. I'm just not getting what you are asking I guess but now you got me thinking about this stuff. Thanks - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse
rickster 36 months ago	I don't understand how you come up with the answer 12'3"13/16 when you already give the travel, roll square + set square=sq.rt of whatever x the consecant of the angle of fitting.My answer is 5'10"3/8. - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse

pipefitter1 in Utica, Michigan 35 months ago	6" 45 take out is 3.75in per 45 = 7.5 inches from 6' 6 1/2" it does equal 5' 11". Throw the trig away!! divide 6 4 times take the 2nd and 4th see example 6,3,1 1/2,3/4 = 3.75 - Was this comment helpful? Yes (1) / No Reply - Report abuse

Trent in Abingdon, Virginia 35 months ago	It seems your defintion of TRAVEL is not the hypotenuse side of a triangle, but rather like the RUN. Currently I have four pipe fitting books, three of which refer to the TRAVEL as being the actual center to center measurement of the actual fabricated piece made to do the offsetting. However, the fourth book (which by the way has a Baton Rouge, Louisiana author) refers to the TRAVEL as the ADVANCE, or the "vertical" distance gained by this offset (center to center vertically). Basically these terms label the sides of a triangle, and are hard to follow without a defining diagram. You could call them PEANUT BUTTER, JELLY, and TOAST, but folks still need to know which side is which. Now, considering the original information and question, it seems this problem could be interpreted two different ways. It seems it could be an offset made with 45 degree fittings and rotated OR spun 45 degrees on a horizontal plane. In this case the "TRAVEL" 78.5" X 1.414 = 111" center to center, 111" minus 7.875" (two 45 degree fittings and two 3/16" gaps)=103.125" or 8' 7 1/8" end to end piece of pipe. This is obviously not even close to your 12' 3 13/16" cut length. However, I did get closer using your figures, but it was with 60 degree fittings. In this case the offset is "rolled" around 45 degrees on a horizontal plane, not "rotated" around; and the pipe retains a 45 degree "incline" when viewed from its side. This involves the three dimensional rectangle including three triangles (two 45 degree right triangles and one 30, 60, 90 degree triangle). Using a piece of pipe 12' 3 13/16" long (or 147.813") and adding two 60 degree fittings (5.1957" end to center each) and two 3/16" gaps, the center to center measurement of the offset piping would be 158.579", or about 158 9/16" c to c. Now, using the formula: side adjacent divided by hypotenuse side = cosine of included angle (this would be 78.5 divided by 158.579 = .49502; the cosine of a 60 degree angle is .50 - Was this comment helpful?
