Tees 2. lin. feet of same size and thickness

Branch Fittings 2. lin. feet of same size and thickness

Reducers, Caps and Termination Points 1.5 lin. feet of same size and thickness

*Hangers (hot) 1 lin. feet of same size and thickness

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

Hangers (cryogenic/anti-condensation)

2. lin. feet 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 – 3 linear feet per fitting.


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:

1/2" to 5" Multiply factors 3 times

6" to 12" Multiply factors 5 times

14" 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 2. lin. feet of same size and thickness

When penetrations occur at fittings:

Each cut out 3. lin. feet 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 30'0" height by 10%
Factor to increase unit price for over 40'0" height by 20%
Factor to increase unit price for over 50'0" height by 30%
Factor to increase unit price for over 60'0" height by 40%
Factor to increase unit price for over 70'0" height by 50%
Factor to increase unit price for up to 80'0" height by 60%
Factor to increase unit price for over 90'0" height by 70%
plus 1% per additional foot of height

*Grade does not include working platforms


HOT WORK: (When insulation applied to line in service above 150°F/65°C operating temperature)

1/2" to 2 1/2" pipe increase labour component by 25%

3" to 5" pipe " 35%

6" to 8" pipe " 45%

9" to 12" pipe " 60%

14" to 24" pipe " 75%

25" to 30" 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.


Metric Measurement (Conversion)

For equivalent fitting factors multiply computations by .31
