Need help calculating the weight and getting an estimate for equipment

For the issues considered by the design institute, just turn to the design institute

Thank you first, but we need to review it. The leader requires that I be able to calculate weights and provide estimates!

The equipment consists of several major components; it’s best to inquire about the price for each one separately. It also depends on what specific device it is.

An approximate estimate is made based on the weight of the materials listed in the equipment diagram; it mainly takes into account the components with the greatest weight (including the large flanges connecting the equipment cylinders), with the weight multiplied by the unit price.

I have encountered similar situations, and I figured out the following: 1. Disassemble the device into its various components, calculate the weight of each component, and determine the total weight of the device. (PS: For questions regarding how to determine weight, consult the company’s quotation specialist or designer.) 2. Total weight * Unit price * Factor (The unit price refers to the production cost per ton or kilogram, taking into account the company’s actual production conditions.) (As for this factor, I’m unable to help with that!) “Others’ skills in eating – even if they are relatives – need not be completely revealed to you. ”(This is a classic quote from my experiences with setbacks.) 3. For parts that need to be purchased externally, the procurement department should obtain quotes before including them in the total cost. 4. For processes that require special treatment on specific parts of the equipment, such as heat treatment, enamel coating, lining, and high-precision metal machining, the costs associated with these processes need to be considered separately. 5. According to standard sales contracts, costs for accessories such as spare parts must be included. That’s more or less the situation; I haven’t had direct contact with the quotes. I hope the answer is helpful to the original poster.

I work in design; I’m usually tasked with preparing quotes and similar things. We use SW6 to calculate the weight and specifications of the main components such as cylinders, heads, tube sheets, supports, and flanges, and then we create a detailed list to submit to the sales department, which has its own conversion formulas

Thank you so much! The manager said to let me first look up some information and learn a bit more, and then I’ll start calculating the weight-based valuation!
