How many fipeings before you hit break even?
Break even
Now here is the crucial question: How many fipeings before you hit break even using the FIPE system? Let’s say you are currently welding your pipe connections. However, the process times of welding vary quite a bit between applications and the experience of the welder of course. The values below are according to the ‘Basler Norm BN’, which is a widespread accepted standard for plant construction.
