Features: This manual is a practical toolbook that uses computational methods to unfold sheet metal components or products. The book consists of 6 chapters and 18 sections, providing a comprehensive introduction to the computational methods for 128 types of components, including equal and unequal diameter round pipes, elbows, tees, crosses, prismatic tubes, square tubes, square-socket tubes, rectangular platforms, hexagonal pyramidal platforms, square tube elbows, square-socket multi-way pipes, conical tubes and their intersections, cones, oblique cones, elliptical cones, elbows and pocket pipes, round pipes and conical tube-related three-way pipes, square-round five-way connecting pipes, covers, platforms, transition joints and pocket pipes, round containers and spherical head covers, helical surfaces, and blade surfaces, as well as steel section splitting and material length calculations. To facilitate readers in mastering and applying sheet metal unfolding computational methods, the author has organized the content based on the external characteristics of the components, following a principle of simplicity to complexity and gradual progression. Each type of component is explained in three steps: computational formulas, geometric parameters, and typical examples. The structure is clear, easy to grasp, and highly practical. This book is suitable for sheet metal workers, riveters, fitters, and pipe fitters, as well as for students and teachers of secondary vocational schools, technical schools, and engineering professionals as a reference.
