Pipe cutting can be considered as sawing or another cutting method like plasma cutting.
Cutting time is calculated as follows:
-
Given as one work time value per one end of the pipe as the unit [min]. This means cutting time is multiplied by two for one pipe part.
-
Based on the material diameter and thickness of the pipe.
Cutting time can include some other work times like in-feeding, measuring, saw blade adjusting, out-feeding, etc. See also chapter for Additional Work Times that will be taken into account into cutting time after nesting.
