Memorize 1.414 for 45 offsets and get a Frankland book. Totally useless. Who's going to know the ID of 3" copper tubing so the app can figure out the weight per foot? It depends on the tubing type...bottom line why calculate this when this info is readily available. How about instead ask me for tubing size, tubing type (DWV, K, L, M, ACR/MED) and the length to calc weight per ft dry and wet. No...let me get my calipers and measure the ID...stupid.

Wrong Pictures

Bought the application and I can use it, but the one I wanted was the one with the formulas shown on photo. Guess thats another application. Bill

Horrible App

This a waste of your money as a professional, and if you are a student - This does not even show a formula and you'd be learning the stuff about plumbing! Not to mention most of the calculations are wrong! Bad app, very bad, I do not recommend getting it even if it were for FREE... Apple: How do you let these people make unfair profit from the willing to learn!

Not so much

Does not calculate right I entered 20 ft of cast iron 4 in pipe and it told me it weighed two point six pounds

Terrible

Very disappointed. How do you go about getting a refund? None of these formulas were helpful. Very vague.
