The reported cut length value varies depending on the connection type of the attached fitting. For example,
with hub flange couplings, the software considers the overall length of the connected object (including the
coupling length). The following example shows how the software reports the cut length based on this
scenario. The overall calculated length includes the pipe length plus the coupling length, as shown next.
Pipe length varies, depending on what is connected to the pipe. The following illustrations show various
pipe examples.
The first illustration shows a pipe segment. The second illustration shows a flange joint added to the pipe
segment. The overall length of the pipe and joint is the same as the original pipe. However, the pipe end is
moved so that it is in the same location as the flange connector. The pipe length is reduced by the width of
the flange, and the CEL (
on page 267) for the flange is added to the length
to calculate the cut length.
