[Manisha Anand]

I am in process to inhouse estimate capital cost of a fired heater. Can anyone support how to estimate?

Thank a lot for your response. I need to understand the basis for estimation and I dont have access to these books. It would be helpful if you can share that. Thanks again.

Sharing this kind of is a violation of intellectual property and is prohibited by codes&ethics of this forum. You have requested in a wrong place, try to google appropriate one.
Anyway all sources mentioned above are worth spending a hundred of USD and a couple of evenings even you are an intern living in a developing country.

A basis of the estimation is a correlation of purchase price and technical parameters of equipment in a developed industrial region, usually US Gulf coast.

Update:
Also you can use Aspen Capital Cost Estimator (former ICARUS) or relevant software from their competitors.
