S Hello sam ,
Member
Good Morning.
Registered: I would like to know the basis on which you have devised such a plan.
04/09/04 Have you done some kind of test?

sam You are right, checking is imperative indeed.

This estimation is based on certain assumptions:
Registered:
02/25/04 1) Piping stress isos will have probable support positions marked
Posts: 543 2) Pipe Spec, branch table, insulation thk table, valve weights, P&ID, line
designation table available
3) Piping stress analysts are skilled & motivated enough
4) It is a statistical estimate. One size may not fit all. It requires adjustment based
on feedback in actual workplace.
regards,
sam

SAMAbdul How about complexity of the calculation? high temp, rotating equipment
Member connections, complex expansion joint modeling....

sam Engineers need to work in an ethical manner; so, if complexity requires additional
Member time, the same has to be reported in feedback and estimates should be revised for
future applications.

[Re: M.Mohammad]
Jop You have asked a very complex question. One that a forum like this may not be
Member able to answer.
However I will offer the following:
Registered: Most engineering companies set some minimum analysis criteria on a project by
12/12/05 project basis but there is always the exception for even "That" project.
Posts: 191 Stress Analysis Criteria may include:
Loc: Florida, - High Temperature pipe
USA - Very large diameter pipe
- Very heavy wall pipe
- Very thin wall pipe
- Exotic Alloy Pipe
- Attachment to strain sensitive equipment (Pumps, Glass lined vessels, etc.)
- Extremely low temperature (Cryogenic) systems
- Any pipe installed in Arctic locations
- All other lines below the stated minimum temperature level on a job installed in a
place like Oman or Kuwait
Flexibility Analysis might come in a number of forms and should consider many
situations.
Forms:
- Simple, Visual Review = Estimate 3 to 5 hours per line
- Intermediate, Informal Calculations = Estimate 8 to 10 hours per line
- Complex, Formal Analysis for excessive stress caused by common factors
(Temperature induced expansion, Dead/Live Loads) = Estimate 30 to 40 hours
depending on complexity
- Special Analysis (i.e.: Analog studies for reciprocating compressors, seismic
studies, Sea-Force studies for Offshore Platforms) Estimate 40 to 60 hours.
Estimated Stress hours include the time to develop any Specifications, Data Sheets
and procurement documents for Stress related products such Spring Hangers,
Expansion Joints or Struts. It also includes all supervision time, meeting time, any
travel to vendors or job sites.

[Re: Jop]
M.Mohammad SURE
How can I convince my boss that is not the same thing, and that I need more hours
than the usual estimated manhours.

[Re: danb]
Jop I know nothing about where you are, nothing about your company, your piping
Member organization or the individual capabilities of the members of the direct piping staff
or the related supporting groups. So it is hard to be very specific.
Registered:
12/12/05 I question that you have only 20 lines and that all of them are the same maximum
Posts: 191 operating temperature.
Loc: Florida,
USA But if you do indeed have only 20 lines and they are all at 450 degrees maximum
operating then I you might have the following estimated labor hours for all piping
activities.
1 Piping Design Hours 1335 (Includes all field trips to determine tie-in points and
routing)
2 Piping Material Eng Hours 85 (Assume use existing specs, Review all)
3 Piping Material Control Hours 40 (Depends on how MTO is done)
4 Pipe Stress Hours 150
5 Piping Supervision Hours 90 (Assume working supervisor)
