Search for flange slide rule. Try Ebay or Etsy.

Thanks, but I’ve typed every bloody keyword in Google and it hasn’t come up with anything other than online tables. This is kind of a shot in the dark hoping some pipe fitters might know where to get one.

These things are so cool. I have one for estimating wire sag that came from a manufacturer. So convenient.

Make your own in excel, print and laminate it =)

Or just print a PDF version on cardstock, cut it out with an xacto knife, and use a brass fastener in the middle - way easier than excel and lasts forever.

Might try calling around to some supply houses. Some in the US still have stuff like this laying around.
