Calculators

Use McElroy’s fusion pressure calculator to quickly find the right fusion pressure for your job. To properly fuse pipe the fusion pressure must be adjusted so the pipe manufacturers recommended interfacial pressure is achieved.

The Plastic Pipe Institute (PPI) calculation tool provides detailed characteristics of all HDPE pipe sizes for multiple applications and installation styles. This Tool can be used to assist with pipeline design and to select the ideal pipe type for any pipe system application. In addition to the calculation and pipe characteristic tool the PPI also has a comprehensive technical handbook that can be used as an industry reference for any installation, design and construction related questions a contractor or engineer could possibly think of.

When designing components to fit the pipe ID, refer to pipe dimensions and tolerances in applicable pipe specifications.
