To Calculate A Quick Budget Price For A Stainless Steel Tank That Includes The Following
nz
To calculate a quick budget price for a stainless steel tank that includes the following:
If under 10,000 litres, a 400Ø manway, 2 x 80mm nozzles, an insect-proof vent, cone top and bottom. Welds strip polished 180 grit one side.
Or if over 10,000 litres, a 500Ø manway, plus 2 extra 150mm nozzles. Support system is Sched10S legs, with |/\| bracing if over 10,000 liters.

The price is rounded up up to the nearest $100. Therefore on small tanks, it may not change with even quite
significant changes to the material margin.

this will be used to extend either the kgs if calculated or the Meters or No. off data. Use this for per-meter costed material.
Factors effecting estimated labour hours include the type of material, number off, weight, physical size or bulk, and the 'complexity' A set-up time related to the sum
total hours is added into the sum total hours and also included in the individual total prices. You will need to decide the complexity, but once established to your
satisfaction is of course repeatable for all similar jobs. The program will not calculate until all "live" complexity cells contain data. Don't be too concerned if the
unexpected result warning is activated, particularly if there are multiples of any component and finally, be aware that for convenience of repeat usage, the clear data
