If you know the thickness or Schedule of Pipe please be specific.
For rework you may need to add the functions e.g. cutting, beveling etc. I am not sure the adder for rework.
The welding function includes cutting, beveling, fitting, tack welding. welding, cleaning but excludes machining, preheating, grinding, stress releiving.
