Material / Saw Cut Efficiency Calculator

Calculate cut yield, saw kerf loss, drop, material requirements, and utilization.

Cut Inputs

Formula accounts for kerf between cuts. End trim is deducted once from every raw joint.

Conversion Factor

Convert saw length in inches to decimal feet by dividing by 12.

Saw Length Conversion

Formula: Saw Length ÷ 12 = Decimal Feet
Saw Length (inches) ÷ 12 = Decimal Feet

Conversion Result

Minimum Wall Calculator

Calculate minimum acceptable wall thickness using a −12.5% wall tolerance.

Wall Thickness Input

Formula: Minimum Wall = Nominal Wall × 0.875
Nominal Wall Minimum Wall = Nominal × 0.875

Minimum Wall Result

Nominal Wall0.190"
12.5% Reduction0.024"
Minimum Wall0.166"
0.190 × 0.875 = 0.166 in minimum wall

Drift Calculator

Simple shop calculator: select Tubing or Casing, enter the ID, and get the drift diameter.

Enter Pipe Information

Tubing uses a 3/32" (0.09375") deduction. Casing uses a 1/8" (0.125") deduction in this simplified shop calculator.
Pipe ID / Drift Drift Diameter

Result

Pipe ID1.610"
Deduction0.09375"
Drift Diameter1.516"
1.610 − 0.09375 = 1.51625 → 1.516"

Quick Reference

This simplified page is intended for the tubing/casing sizes you have been using. For other API size ranges, verify the required drift allowance before use.

Thread Height Calculator

Enter the maximum and minimum major/minor diameters to calculate the allowable thread-height range.

Enter Diameter Limits

Minimum Height = (Major MIN − Minor MAX) ÷ 2
Maximum Height = (Major MAX − Minor MIN) ÷ 2
Major Ø Minor Ø Height

Thread Height Limits

MIN Thread Height0.0575"
MAX Thread Height0.0675"
Total Height Range0.0100"
Acceptable radial thread height: 0.0575" to 0.0675"

Calculation Breakdown

MIN Thread Height(2.3650 − 2.2500) ÷ 2 = 0.0575"
MAX Thread Height(2.3750 − 2.2400) ÷ 2 = 0.0675"
Allowable Height Range0.0575" – 0.0675"
These are calculated dimensional limits from the major/minor diameters you enter. They are not automatically API acceptance limits unless the entered diameter limits come from the applicable thread specification.

Taper Calculator

Enter any three values: Small End Diameter, Large End Diameter, Length, and Taper per Foot. The calculator determines the missing value.

Taper Dimensions

Enter exactly 3 fields. Formula: Taper/ft = (Large Diameter − Small Diameter) × 12 ÷ Length.

Generated Taper Drawing

Large End Small End Length Taper / Foot

Calculation Result

Fill in any three of the four fields, then select Get Missing Dimension.
