J. Data File - Reinforcements

Reinforcements can be internal or external and on Rectangular or Round. The Data File has pages for Rods (internal), Angle (external), and Angle Rings (external). There are no limits to the number of reinforcements you can setup.

1.      Reinforcement Rods

The rod setup is for internal stiffeners used to reinforce the duct or pipe. You will need to setup labor and material prices.

Click New, Edit or Duplicate to modify the rod information.

Select a Reinforcement Rod and click Edit to modify the per rod setup.

Name – the name of the rod assembly to be used

Scrap % - the amount of scrap percentage to be added in rod length calculations

Price Each – the cost of the rod connectors

Price / Ft – the cost per foot of the rod material

Labor per Size – the labor to attach the rod to the duct item, per side

Factor Attach – if the duct is lined, you can have a factor percentage added

Fab / Rod – labor to fabricate the rod

Lbs / Ln. Ft – the weight per foot of the rod material

2.      Reinforcement Angles

The angle setup is for external reinforcing of the duct items. You will need to setup labor and material costs for the angle and the attachment process.

Click New, Edit or Duplicate to modify the Angle information.

Select an Angle Reinforcement and click Edit to modify the per angle setup.

Name – the name of the angle being used

Scrap % - the amount of scrap percentage to be added in angle length calculations

Price Each – an amount to use for the angle in addition to the per foot cost

Price / Ft – the per foot cost of the angle

Attach Ft / Hr – the labor needed to attach per foot of angle

Attach Each – labor to attach each angle in addition to the per foot labor

Fab Ft / Hr – fabrication labor per foot for the angle

Fab Each – fabrication labor used per angle in addition to the per foot angle labor

Lbs / Ln Ft – pounds per lineal foot of angle material

3.      Reinforcement Angle Rings

The angle ring setup is for external reinforcing of the round duct items. You will need to setup labor and material costs for the angle rings and the attachment process.

Click New, Edit or Duplicate to modify the Angle Ring information.

The Angle Ring page has two lists. The top list has the names of the Angle Rings to be used and the bottom list has the Cost, Labor and Weight of the Angle Ring.

Use New, Edit or Duplicate in the top list to add or modify an Angle Ring. Use the Export and Import buttons in the bottom list to modify the Cost, Labor, or Weight of the Angle Rings.

Cost – the material cost for the angle ring

Fabrication – the labor hours used to fabricate the angle rings or to attach the angle rings in the shop
