Description

+WHAT DOES iBend Pipe DO?
iBend Pipe calculates the following bends using fractions or Metric measurements so you dont have to (for Metric go to Settings/3rd Party Apps/iBend Pipe and turn Metric ON) :
-Offsets
-Rolling Offsets
-Parallel Offsets
-3-Bend Saddles
-Segment Bends
-Concentric Bends
-90 Bends using 1/2", 3/4" or 1" Hand Bender
-Compound 90 around a Round Obstruction
-Compound 90 around a Square Obstruction
-Compound 90 around a Rectangular Obstruction

iBend Pipe also calculates shrink and allows you to select any bending angle not just the standard 30 and 45 degree.

+ HOW DOES IT WORK?

Simply slide your finger to set measurements and results are updated instantly. There is no need to navigate through multiple screens just to get a measurement. Easy and intuitive to use, and measurement are displayed in big font to make it easy to read.

+ WHO IS IT FOR?
If you consider yourself a craftsman that takes pride in his work, iBend Pipe is for you. If other "sparkies" come to you when they have a difficult bend, this is for you. If you want to have a smaller "bone" pile, this is for you. If you can write your name in conduit, this is for you. From, a 1st year inside wireman apprentice to a seasoned old timer this app will save you time and material.

Input fractions* instead of converting to decimals and get results in fractions.

The "push-through" method of bending is used for displaying results. The "push-through" method is the preferred method when bending on mechanical, electrical, or hydraulic benders.

All results are given in center of bend method. You must figure out where the center of the bend is in relation to some benchmark on the bender-such as the front of the shoe. For example for a 15 -30 -15 degree saddle; first bend a 15 degree angle on a scrap piece -use a protractor or a digital level-for best results. Determine the center of bend in relation to the benchmark. Do the same for a 30 degree angle. Use these measurements when laying out your bends.

Twenty years of bending conduit, I can do it but this app makes you faster & more efficient ! Love this app!! Especially great for Rigid which is not forgiving. When it has to be right this app won't let you down!great job guys & thanks for listening and adding 4 point saddles! A big thanks from Tulsa, Oklahoma!

An awesome app I use it at least once a day.

Excellent (5 stars)
I first used this app for a rolling offset and it turned out perfect. I then used it on several segmented 90s and they also turned out perfect. Now I look forward to using this 4 point saddle update. Thank you very much for this app. L.U. 20, Dallas/Fort Worth.
