estimating the weight of a chemical plant

[hahor]

Hi folks,

in order to estimate the scrap refund to be expected from a total plant demolition just a brief question.

Is 100 to 200 kg per m3 plant volume a realistic number for an open steel structure?
What is your experience?

I look forward to your answers.


Kind Regards,

what weight do you want? The total weight including piping and equipment? or only the weight of the steel structure?

Hello Raymond,

thank you for trying to help me.

We need some resonable ratios for guessing the weight of steel structure including equipment.

For example:
empty structure 40 ... 50 kg/m3
with pumps and light equipment: 70 ... 100 kg/m3
and so on

Many thanks in advance.
Kind Regards,
hahor
