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)
Pipe diameter in inches * number of joints
so, for 10 welds of 4" pipe, 40 diameter inches.
