350 mm to 600 mm pipe 1.86 "

625 mm to 750 mm pipe 2.17 "

When stainless steel or FRP jacketing is specified, factors for elbows (with stainless steel or FRP covers), multiply the above tables by 2.5

Bent Pipe multiply length by factor of 3 of same size and thickness

Tracer Loops 0.93 lin. meters minimum, per loop at tracer

(Wrapped Insulation) size by 25 mm (nominal) thickness


Flanges (Pair)

– Hot 0.93 lin. meters of same size and thickness

– Cryogenic 2.17 "

– Anti-condensation 1.24 "


Valve Body (screwed)

12.5 mm to 75 mm 0.62 lin. meters of same size & thickness

100 mm to 200 mm 0.93 "

250 mm and over 1.24 "


Valve Body (welded)

12.5 mm to 75 mm 0.93 lin. meters of same size & thickness

100 mm to 200 mm 1.24 "

225 mm to 300 mm 1.55 "

350 mm to 450 mm 1.86 "

500 mm to 600 mm 2.48 "

650 mm to 750 mm 3.10 "

800 mm and over   measured as equipment


Valve Body (flanged)

12.5 mm to 75 mm 0.62 lin. meters of same size & thickness(+ flanges)

100 mm to 200 mm 0.93 "

225 mm to 300 mm 1.24 "

350 mm to 450 mm 1.55 "

500 mm to 600 mm 1.86 "

650 mm to 750 mm 2.48 "

800 mm and over 3.10 measured as equipment


Valve Body (with bonnet) Use appropriate factors as above.

12.5 mm to 75 mm And 0.62 lin. meters of same size & thickness

100 mm to 200 mm " 0.93 "

350 mm to 450 mm " 1.24 "

550 mm to 750 mm " 1.55 "

800 mm and over " 1.86 "

Tees .62 lin. meters of same size and thickness

Branch Fittings 0.62 lin. meters of same size and thickness

Reducers, Caps and Termination Points 0.47 lin. meters of same size and thickness

*Hangers (hot) 0.31 lin. meters of same size and thickness

*Including shoe supports and brackets. Excludes guides and anchors.

Hangers (cryogenic/anti-condensation)

0.31 lin. meters of same size and thickness

Removable Covers multiply fitting factors by 2.5, or a price per cover established by tender.

Screwed / FRP Fittings:

Specified flexible insulation, multiply all factors by 2. Specified preformed or rigid insulation multiply all factors by 3.


Vitaulic Fittings:

These fittings require special consideration because of size and complexity. Therefore the conversion table factors are to be multiplied as follows:

45 Elbows Multiply factors 3 times

90 Elbows Multiply factors 3 times

Tees, Fittings:

12.5 mm to 125 mm Multiply factors 3 times

150 mm to 300 mm Multiply factors 5 times

350 mm and over Multiply factors 7 times


Penetrations:
Items which interfere with the insulation system, e.g., conduits, handrails, ancillary hangers, uninsulated pipe or tubing, etc.

Each cut out 0.62 lin. meters of same size and thickness

When penetrations occur at fittings:

Each cut out 0.93 lin. meters of same size and thickness


Obstructions

Where insulation thickness has to be shaved or cut for walls, sleeves, equipment or other interferences:

Multiply the length of interference by factor of 2


HEIGHT ALLOWANCES

Height Factor Above Grade*

Factor to increase unit price for over 9.2 m height by 10%
Factor to increase unit price for over 12.2 m height by 20%
Factor to increase unit price for over 15.3 m height by 30%
Factor to increase unit price for over 18.3 m height by 40%
Factor to increase unit price for over 21.4 m height by 50%
Factor to increase unit price for up to 24.4 m height by 60%
Factor to increase unit price for over 27.5 m height by 70%
plus 3% per additional meter of height

*Grade does not include working platforms


HOT WORK: (When insulation applied to line in service above 65°C operating temperature)

12.5 mm to 65 mm pipe increase labour component by 25%

75 mm to 125 mm pipe " 35%

150 mm to 200 mm pipe " 45%

225 mm to 350 mm pipe " 60%

375 mm to 500 mm pipe " 75%

over 500 mm pipe " 100%

If labour component has not been identified apply only 50% of the above to the unit prices. These percentages are to compensate for loss of productivity, however safe working conditions shall take precedent.


Imperial Measurement (Conversion)

For equivalent fitting factors multiply computations by 3.28
