Tank, Vessel & Pressure Equipment Fabrication worked example

Lifting Weight with lifting weight first factor of 250 units: a worked example

Push lifting weight first factor up to 250 units and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when lifting weight in tank, vessel and pressure equipment fabrication needs a few factors combined into one defensible number for tank, vessel and pressure equipment fabrication.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Lifting Weight first factor: 250 units (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 100)
  • Lifting Weight second factor: 4 units (unchanged)
  • Lifting Weight conversion factor: 0.01 x (unchanged)
  • Lifting Weight process multiplier: 1 x (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Lifting Weight = first factor × second factor × conversion factor × process multiplier) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 5 lb for result, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 5 value for base product.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 1 x for multiplier.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 1,000 value for factor a x b.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where lifting weight first factor sits at 100 units and the headline result is 2 lb, this scenario comes in 150% above the baseline at 5 lb.
  • It multiplies a first factor by a second factor, a conversion factor, and a process multiplier to return a lifting weight in pounds. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.

Results at a glance

  • Result: 5 lb (headline result)
  • Base product: 5 value
  • Multiplier: 1 x
  • Factor A x B: 1,000 value
