Controls any additional pipe quantity that needs to be added to the Material List to allow for wastage during fabrication. This option switch is one of nine that holds a percentage factor that is used to calculate pipe wastage allowances. Each of the nine option switches is applicable to a particular plant area which can be identified in the Pipeline Input Data File.
Switch Settings
The following settings are available for Option Switch 51:
SWITCH POSITION - Pipe Wastage in Plant Area 9
|
0 |
Use a percentage multiplication factor of zero. No increase in pipe material quantity even though a value may been included in the pipeline data input file. |
|
1 |
Use a percentage multiplication factor of 1. This value does not increase the basic wastage percentage that may be set in applicable records in the pipeline data input file. This is the default value. |
|
Value |
Use an additional factor (value) that is multiplied by the basic wastage factor (input on appropriate records in the pipeline data input file) to arrive at a final wastage factor percentage. For example, a value of 2 in this Option Switch would give a final percentage of twice the value of any figure included in the pipeline data input file. |
