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 that can be identified in the pipeline input date file.

Switch Settings

The following settings are available for Option Switch 49:

0

Use a percentage multiplication factor of 0. This setting allows you to obtain no increase in pipe material quantity even though a value may have been included in the pipeline data input file.

1

Use a percentage multiplication factor of 1. This value does not increase the basic waste percentage that may be set in applicable records in the pipeline input data file.

Value

Use the specified value as an additional factor that is multiplied by the basic wastage factor (input on appropriate records in the pipeline input data file) to obtain the final wastage factor percentage. For example, a value of 2 results in a final percentage of twice the value of any figure included in the pipeline data input file.
