Formula and source

Center-to-center: cut = C-to-C - (takeout_A + takeout_B) + (makeup_A + makeup_B). Face-to-face lands on the fitting faces, so only make-up / weld gap applies.

Fitting take-out / make-up cut-length layout as taught in NCCER Pipefitting and the standard fitter's references, by name; first-principles.
