must measure lengths of pipes. They must also be able to measure the
angles. It is essential that all of these measurements be done with both
precision and accuracy.
Plumbers must also be very comfortable doing conversions. Common
conversions for plumbers include:

BTU = KW
1 = 25 mm
1 psi = 7 kPa
1 imp gal = 4.5 l
Geometry
Understanding angles and geometric properties cannot be understated.
Degrees are important for calculating offsets. Plumbers also use right angle
properties and Pythagorean Theorem for calculating the hypotenuse.

J = the overall measurement minus Half the diameter, plus the space, times two, times .707
minus the distance above the centre line.
J = 21 (7 + 2) X 2 X .707 2
J = 21 (9 X 2) X .707 2
J = 21 (18 X .707) 2
J = 21 (12.73 2)
J = 21 10.73 = 10.27
J = 10.27

M = the overall measurement minus Half the diameter, plus the space, times two, times .707 plus
the distance below centre line.
M = 26 (7 + 2) X 2 X .707 + 2
M = 26 (9 X 2) X .707 +2
M = 26 (18 X .707) + 2
M = 26 (12.73 +2)
M = 26 14.73
M = 11.27
