How is billing for stress analysis using CAESAR Ⅱ software?
Thread Content
I would like to ask the forum members: How is pricing calculated for performing stress analysis using the CAESAR II software? If charging by hours, what would be a reasonable rate per hour?
The pricing model for stress analysis using CAESAR II software is usually based on hours worked. The amount charged per working hour depends on different regions and various companies’ pricing strategies; the price can be determined based on market conditions as well as one’s own technical skills. Some companies offer a fixed price or a cost estimate for the entire project. In short, the specific billing method needs to be negotiated and discussed based on the actual circumstances. .
It’s difficult to standardize prices. For a pipe of the same length, some may require several \"L\" bends, some may need gate-type bends, some require expansion joints, some need spring supports, some necessitate flange leakage analysis, some require consideration of seismic effects, some need nozzle verification, and so on. It’s hard to say, as the level of difficulty varies.
Could you give an example? Thank you for your reply.
Count the number of pipelines and the devices connected to them, determine the operating conditions, take into account factors such as temperature and pressure, and calculate an average price per pipeline to provide a quote
Some time ago, there was a inquiry. Stress analysis of the piping connecting the column and the reboiler: (2 pipes, flange leakage analysis required, with spring supports, and under seismic conditions). The fee is 6000.
600 is a bit low. At least 3,000 yuan is required
Some time ago, I conducted a vibration analysis of the pump’s inlet and outlet for a client; the quote was 3,000, which the client found to be too high.
