Pipeline Quantities (Pipe & Fittings etc)
Pipeline Quantities (Pipe & Fittings etc)
(OP)
I am shortly going to be asked to produce Pipeline Material quantities and am unsure of exactly to the ammounts of material to order up.... ie % of pipeline green, additional fittings, bolts and gaskets etc.
Can anyone point me in a direction of publications etc to assist me.
Many Thanks
Stan

I assume that the fittings and fabrications fit in that 1-4% and call it good. I've never had a requirement for material inventory that was more precise than that.

"Belief" is the acceptance of an hypotheses in the absence of data.
"Prejudice" is having an opinion not supported by the preponderance of the data.
"Knowledge" is only found through the accumulation and analysis of data.

For a small project 10% might be good, say if the pipeline is 0-10 miles long.
For 10 to 100 miles long 4-8%
For 100 to 1000 miles 3-6%

Super duplex is relatively costly. All fittings bar coded and identified by spool / isometric. Pipe materials are accurately taken off and accounted for from a 3D model. Hence %ss are kept very low. It is also less easy to on sell for instance a DN650 x 500 Sch80 reducing tee in this material.
