What is The Physics of RollingOffset?

The technical foundation and mathematics behind the RollingOffsetCalc tool.

Mathematical Foundation

True Offset and Travel Calculation
Travel=Roll2+Set2sin⁡(θ)Travel = \frac{\sqrt{Roll^2 + Set^2}}{\sin(\theta)}
TravelTravel= The physical pipe cut-length required to bridge the gap
RollRoll= Lateral horizontal shift (Inches)
SetSet= Vertical elevation shift (Inches)
θ\theta= Fitting Angle (e.g. 22.5°, 45°, 60°)
