PullCalc vs Master Bender Gold Usage & Stats
Greenlee continues to drive efficiency with PullCalc, an app that helps electricians and contractors approximate the pull force needed to install an electrical cable inside of conduit.
Data is entered by "legs" and each leg is considered to be a straight run of conduit followed by a bend, except the last leg, which usually has no bend. The calculation for each leg requires the following information to be entered:
- Wire size
- Number of wires
- Conduit I.D.
- Duct Material
- Material of the Cable Insulation
- Coefficent of Friction*
- Length of Leg
- Bend angle
- Vertical Rise
*Due to unknown factors involved, it prohibits giving exact results, most notably the coefficient of friction. Lubrication, surface texture, and lay of the cable are never uniform along the length of a conduit run. Comparing the known forces of pulls against the estimated force should give you a guide as for a good coefficient of friction to use for similar future pulls, and a table with some suggested starting points for the coefficient of friction of well-lubricated cable is a drop down option in the app. If lubricant is not used, triple the values in the table.

Master Bender Gold is the industry's leading and most precise conduit bending app for iPhone and iPad.
Master Bender Gold is a conduit bending calculator for electricians. Master Bender Gold can also be used by plumbers and pipe fitters, who can enter their own tools into program.
Master Bender Gold aids you in bending conduit raceways. It takes the math out of bending and allows you to concentrate on the task at hand.
Master Bender Gold uses a more precise conduit bending algorithm than the cosecant method that is commonly used in the industry. This gives you more accurate bends with less waste.
Master Bender Gold supports the following types of bends:
* offset bends and rolling offset bends
* three and four point saddle bends
* stub 90° bends
* parallel bends
* segment bends
* compound 90° bends
Master Bender Gold contains information about:
* gain & take-up
* conduit layout
* conduit weight & sizes
* trig functions
* fractions
* bender methods
* safety
Master Bender Gold can bend and calculate most all types of conduit bends used today by electricians.
Master Bender Gold supports numerous popular bending tools. Master Bender Gold supports hand benders, electric bender ie. sidewinder, 555, triple nickel, and hydraulic bending tools. Have a tool that is not supported? No problem! Master Bender Gold can work with any bending tool. Just tell Master Bender Gold the bending radius for your tool and you are ready to bend.
Master Bender Gold computes bends using both feet/inches and metric measurements.
Master Bender Gold makes it easy to bend pipes and conduit raceways regardless of whether you are a seasoned professional, studying to be in the electrical, electronic, engineering, plumbing, pipe fitting professions, or an hobbyist who needs to bend a few pipes.
If you like Master Bender Gold, you may want to take a look at our other app: Master Electrician Reference™ (MER™). It includes a 29 page conduit bending manual. We also have a free version: MER™ Lite. More information is available at MasterSparky.com.
