MASTER COST AND MAN-HOUR ESTIMATION IN INDUSTRIAL PIPING INSTALLATION Includes Dedicated Reader Access to the Official PMHT Web & Mobile Digital Suite
Do you need to estimate carbon steel piping projects quickly, accurately, and with verifiable technical backing? Estimator's Piping Man-hours Tool is the definitive reference manual and digital solution for cost engineers, piping estimators, field supervisors, and construction managers across the oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, and mining sectors.
Book readers gain full authorized access to the digital application to streamline estimating workflows:
- Multi-Standard Engine: Native calculation across ASME B31.3/B31.1 (NPS 1/2 to 24), European DIN/EN (DN 15 to 600 / PN), and Chinese Guobiao GB/CN (DN / MPa).
- Automated MTO Excel Importer: Upload Material Take-Off spreadsheets (.xlsx / .csv) with automatic schedule mapping-eliminates manual item-by-item entry.
- Physical Weights & Hydrotest Dead Loads: Instant calculation of bare pipe steel mass and water-filled hydrotest loads for pipe rack and support engineering.
- Instant Craft Calculations: Select component, size, schedule, and site conditions to calculate direct craft man-hours on demand.
- Dynamic Productivity Modifiers: Calibrated correction factors (AACE/MCAA aligned) for prefabrication, weather, elevation, logistics, and brownfield site congestion.
- Professional Exporting: Generate itemized PDF proposal reports and CSV/Excel spreadsheets ready for commercial bids.
- Offline & Cross-Platform Support (PWA): Runs locally on PC, Mac, tablet, or smartphone with full offline capability on jobsites.
What You'll Find in This Second Edition Manual (Book Content):- 15 Field-Validated Man-Hour Tables: Proven production rates from refineries, chemical plants, and power stations covering pipes, elbows (up to 24), tees, reducers, flanges, branch connections, and valves.
- Valve Installation & Inspection: Protocols and man-hours for flanged, butt-weld, wafer, safety/relief, and control valves.
- Flange Joint Integrity (ASME PCC-1): Alignment guidelines, torque values, bolt tightening sequences, and flange-gasket-bolt assembly tolerances.
- Painting, Insulation & Surface Treatment: Material consumption estimating, sandblasting preparation, and labor productivity rates.
- Real-World Case Studies: Detailed worked estimates applying correction factors from isometric drawings to final commercial bid submission.
Accurate estimating isn't an option - it is the difference between winning a profitable bid and absorbing unexpected cost overruns in the field.
Ideal For: Cost Engineers, Piping Estimators, Proposal Specialists, Field Superintendents, Mechanical Contractors, and EPC Firms seeking to standardize and technically validate their bids.
