About EnggTools
EnggTools is being built as a practical engineering platform for calculators, technical articles, and standards-aware explanations.
This technical page is maintained by Ashish Kapoor, a project engineering lead. Use it as a learning and calculation-review aid, then verify critical work against current standards, project documents, supplier data, and competent engineering review.

EnggTools is a practical engineering platform built for working engineers, students, and technical professionals who need clear calculators, reliable explanations, and standards-aware notes in one place.
The purpose of EnggTools is to bring calculation tools, engineering articles, and standards explanations into a single clean platform. The focus is practical use: clear inputs, visible assumptions, understandable outputs, and engineering notes that help users review their own work.
The platform is focused on engineering calculators such as section weight, bolt torque, tolerance stackup, steel section sizes, and B31.3 pipe wall checks, supported by practical articles and standards-aware explanations.
EnggTools is not intended to replace official codes, licensed standards, project specifications, or qualified engineering judgment. It is designed to support better engineering thinking and make routine technical work easier to organize, explain, and review. The website is maintained with a strong focus on original content, safe references, and practical engineering usefulness.
About the Creator
EnggTools is built by Ashish Kapoor, a Project Engineering Lead based in Hyderabad, India, with over 11 years of experience in subsea oil & gas engineering. His work spans subsea distribution systems (UTAs, HFLs, SDUs, MQCs), pipeline repair and connector design, and engineering assurance across the full project lifecycle — from FEED through manufacturing, testing, and commissioning.
He currently works as a Senior Engineer at TechnipFMC, leading the delivery of global subsea engineering scopes and acting as the primary interface engineer between design, manufacturing, vendor, and client teams. Previously, at Oceaneering International, he led the conceptual and detailed design of subsea pipeline connectors, repair clamps, and UTAs in compliance with ASME, API, and DNV standards, delivering projects for clients including BP, Chevron, Woodside, and Subsea7.
Across these roles he has worked extensively with tolerance stack-up analysis, GD&T, finite element analysis, seal and buoyancy calculations, and design automation — including building automated tolerance stack-up and buoyancy tools that cut manual calculation effort by more than half. That hands-on experience with the small, repetitive, error-prone calculations every engineer faces is exactly what EnggTools is built to make easier.
Why he built EnggTools
Working day to day on real subsea projects, Ashish kept running into the same gap: practical engineering calculations and references were scattered across spreadsheets, PDFs, and tribal knowledge, with no clean place to run them, check the assumptions, and document the result. EnggTools is his attempt to close that gap — a dependable platform where engineers can run trustworthy calculations and read clear standards-aware explanations.

Content review and quality approach
EnggTools is now kept intentionally focused for public review. Generic draft articles and unfinished public pages are withheld until they have a clear engineering purpose, original explanation, and enough practical context to help a visitor make a better calculation or review decision.
Some drafts may use software, spreadsheets, automation, or AI-assisted drafting during preparation, but public pages are selected for usefulness rather than volume. The aim is to keep calculator assumptions visible, separate learning aids from design approval, and correct pages when users report a problem.
