- This program calculates thickness corrected cones where the inside of the large end of the cone touches the inside of the large pipe and where the outside of the small end of the cone touches the outside of the small pipe. - Ri, Ro and all lines share the same origin. - The prebend tabs shown here are used for some pyramid rollers if required. - If a brake press is used to bend the cone, then all bend lines should pass through the origin.

- This program assumes that the large pipe has the same thickness as the cone. The thickness of the small pipe is ignored. - Adjust the length of the cone if required to get the desired cone angle GB. - This program is intended for educational use only.
