How long a 14", X-52, ERW pipe joint would normally take in welding?

---

For a cs 14 NPS cs pipe (a53 not x-52), standard weight, field erection with spool in place, no cutting or beveling using stick - it will take about 13 hours incl of fitup, tack and weld (x-ray quality). If cutting and beveling is req'd add another 50%. If the place is tight and there is obstruction (welders position), add an extra 10-15%.

same as above excpet pipe is 304L EFW (not erw)and welding method tig - i'd say 15 hours.
