(4) Rewelding of whole or a part of piping which has resulted from welding defects
shall not be measured. If re-shooting of radiographic examination is
necessitated due to the rewelding, such costs shall be back-charged to the
Contractor.

(5) Note: Plastic Resin (GRE) shall be measured by meter per pipe size.

6120 Induction Bending Inch-Piece

(1) Inch-Piece is defined as the nominal diameter of the pipe in question multiplied
by the number of bending points.

(2) Any differences of bending angles shall not be considered for measurement.

(1) It shall be measured by pieces of cold shoe and cold insulation actually installed
regardless of the kind of materials used.

(2) Concrete foundation for support shall not be measured.

6500 Tracing
-6501 C.S. Tube Meter

(1) It shall be measured by length in meter of the process and/or utility pipes on
which tracing tubes are being installed and multiplied by number of tracing
tubes as follows:

Type of Tracing Length

Single line tracing 1.0 x length of principal process/utility pipes

Double line tracing 2.0 x ditto
Triple line tracing 3.0 x ditto
Winding tracing 1.0 x ditto

(2) The length of tracing tubes such as:

(a) the tracing tube length between the outlet of the valve manifold and the
starting point of the tracing tube on the principal process/utility Pipes, and
(b) the tracing tube length between the end of the principal process/utility pipes
and the inlet point of the drain header.

as illustrated in Figure-5 of this ANNEX shall not be measured.

(3) The length of the tube to be measured in meters under this FWBS shall apply for
all tracing tubes irrespective of their sizes.
