Calculate Take-Out and Butt Weld Elbow Cut Marks (cont'd) fractional resolution (default is 1/16) press once after entering the welder's gap. For example, if you keep the fractional resolution at 1/16, the outputs above for IARC would be 4 inches, and CARC would be 6-3/8 inches. The Take-Out function can be used to quickly solve a Take-Out and butt weld elbow cut marks for a known bend angle and Pipe Size. The cut length for the pipe is 35 and 1/4 inches and bend angle is 40.46°.
Cut Length – Known Take-Out Value The Pipe Trades Pro can solve cut lengths for materials and fittings not currently built into the calculator by entering a known TakeOut value. Find the cut length (end-to-end) for a pipe offset with a 10” Offset and bend angle of 45°. This example assumes 4” Type 40 PVC, with a known Take-Out value of 2 and 3/16 inches.
