Detailed man-hours for installation, welding, and pressure testing. Steel Structures:

One "estimate point" in the manual typically equals one man-hour at a PEP of 90% for carbon steel. Apply Multiplier Factors Adjust base rates using Material Multiplier Factors

: Provides standard man-hour tables based on analyses and simulations verified in practice during plant erection.
