Third Edition - Revised & Expanded. Includes reader access to the PMHT Web & Mobile Digital Suite.
Underbid a piping job and you absorb the overruns; overbid it and you lose the work. This book gives estimators a reliable, field-based method to calculate man-hours for the erection of aboveground carbon steel process piping designed to ASME B31.3, and then adjust them to the real conditions of each job.
From standard hours to the real hours of your jobA new chapter shows how to adjust standard hours with field factors and a management factor:
The worked examples were solved again with this method, comparing step by step full field erection against erection with shop prefabrication, so you can see the savings in numbers.
New valve production tablesWeights and erection man-hours up to NPS 24 and Class 1500 for gate, globe, check, and ball valves; wafer butterfly and dual plate check valves; butt-weld end valves (with a practical guide to welding a valve without damaging it); PSVs per API 526; and control valves. Includes valve water content for hydrotest planning.
New chapter: final bolt tighteningTen new man-hour tables for the hours most often left out of the estimate, covering manual torque wrench, impact (slugging) wrench, hydraulic torque, and hydraulic tensioning.
Also in the book: man-hour tables for pipe, fittings, flanges, and branch connections; pipe-attached supports; flanged joint assembly per ASME PCC-1; painting and insulation. Long tables now use alternating row shading for easier reading.
The PMHT Digital Suite (included with the book)
Ideal for cost engineers, piping estimators, project controls staff, proposal specialists, field superintendents, mechanical contractors, and EPC firms.
