Pipe weld quantities

Hello John,

It means the Size of Pipe which is Hoined to another Pipe of Same Size - Say A 10" pipe Pipe Has a DI - 10

So for Calculation/Report/Progress Purpose - When a 10 " Pipe is Welded with a 10" Pipe - Your output is 10 DI (Dia Inch)

Another example:

If a T Elbow is welded whose size 2 " - 10 " . Then your welding would be 10 + 10 + 2 = 22 DI as you have to weld the 2 10" Pipe by Another 10 " and the Other end of Elbow which is 2 " by a 2" Pipe.

Hey Guys!

There are instances where we need to weld two pipe ends to form a bend. In this case, the welding lenght is longer than joining two pipes in straight line. 

For example a 45deg bend is formed by welding two 16in pipe ends. Is the measurement remain the same as 16*1=16 dia inch?

How are we going to measure the pipe welds in this case?

Lets say you have a 10" pipe and there are three joints.



how would you quantify it.

there are two ways:

1. No. of joints i.e 03

2. Quantity of welding done i.e 10(diameter of the pipe to be welded) x 3(number of joints) = 30(Diameter Inches)



hope the answer is clear.

Let me give it a shot.



Diameter Inch is the unit of measurement for pipewelds.

If you have a particular spool that will have 7 joints, the total inch-dia for the welds of that spool will be :(diameter of the pipe/fitting x 7).



For example, a 6" spool with 7 joints would have a total inch-dia of 6 x 7 = 42 inch dia.



Hope that helps
