Piping Estimating Services

Experienced Piping Estimating Services for Maximum Project ROI!

The piping construction industry is facing unprecedented challenges that are costing billions of dollars. Almost every other contractor ends with experienced budget overruns, with an average increase of 80% above initial estimates. Skilled labor shortages, high interest rates, and price inflation affect the whole construction segment by increasing the costs. 

However, piping projects involve hundreds of components – pipes, fittings, flanges, valves, gaskets, supports, and specialty items. That is why we offer experienced piping estimating services for maximum project ROI. So, overcome these challenges by relying on our accurate piping cost estimates.

Industrial Piping Estimating Services

Our company also offers industrial piping estimating services that may range from ½” to 48+ inches, 150-2500 ANSI class. From Power Plant Systems, Oil and Gas pipelines, to Petrochemical Systems, every industrial scope is included.

Piping Technical Expertise!

What sets us apart is that we cover all technical and non-technical details in our takeoffs and estimates process. Just name your project requirements, Universe Estimating offers precise services for Bid Estimates, Budget Estimates, Design Estimates, Change Order Estimates, Preliminary Estimates, Conceptual Estimates, and Value Engineering Estimates.

Our results are precise because our expert piping cost estimator follows local Zip-code pricings and ASME Standards such as: ASME B31.1 – Power Piping, ASME B31.3 – Process Piping, ASME B31.5 – Refrigeration Piping, and others!

Other Standards include NBIC – Repairs & Alterations, AWS – American Welding Society, ASTM – Materials Testing, ANSI – American National Standards, and all others!

However, we factor in all the technical details of your projects to deliver precise results, which is not limited to this:

Pressure Rating Classifications

• Low Pressure Systems (0-150 PSI): Standard residential and light commercial applications.
• Medium Pressure Systems (150-600 PSI): Industrial process and heating systems.
• High-Pressure Systems (600-2500 PSI): Power generation and heavy industrial.
• Ultra-High Pressure (2500+ PSI): Specialized industrial and research applications.

Temperature Considerations

• Ambient Temperature (-20°F to 150°F)
• Elevated Temperature (150°F to 650°F)
• High Temperature (650°F to 1200°F)
• Cryogenic Systems (-320°F to -100°F)

Pipe Materials & Cost Multipliers

• Alloy Steel (Chrome-Moly): 2.5- 3.5x carbon steel cost.
• Duplex Stainless: 6-8x carbon steel cost.
• Exotic Alloys (Inconel, Hastelloy): 15-25x carbon steel cost.
• Plastic Systems (PVC, CPVC, HDPE): 0.3-0.8x carbon steel cost.
• Fiberglass (FRP): 2-3x carbon steel cost.

Wall Thickness Classifications

• Standard Weight (STD): Basic pressure applications
• Extra Strong (XS): Medium pressure and corrosive services
• Schedule 80/120/160: High-pressure industrial applications
• Double Extra Strong (XXS): Extreme pressure conditions
