There is no answer. There are to many factors to generate an accurate response. When estimating, your best bet is to refer to similar jobs that your company and employees have completed. Those production rates will be the most accurate. When quantifying weld per inch Dia. Given varying degrees of environmental restrictions, wall thickness, procedure, pipe type and size, the hang over that your crew has from the night before and the rest of the equation it is difficult to determine what production rates will be. My recommendation is to use previous proven production rates and work on improving the management coordination, material and equipment supply and communication to the crew. if focus is given in these areas a substantial increase in previously realized production rates will be seen.
Inch dia = Number of weld joints X Size of the pipe
With large diameters like that you will most probably need to insert a weld-on 12 inch - 10 inch reducer at the point where the reduction is required. The pipe and reducer perimeter edges should be bevelled, say 45 degrees, for good weld penetration especially if the pipe conveys fluid under pressure.
1.5in For a 90 degree butt-joint each piece must be cut at 45 degrees. So it will be one inch measured along the length of the pipe or 1.414 inches measured along the 45 degree cut. When you look at the cut face at right angles (90 degrees) you will see an ellipse that is 1 inch wide and 1.414 inches long.
Elbow is a fitting used to change pipe direction, 45 degrees in this case, LR is referred as "long Radius" ( normally most pipes, unless you ask for SR, short radius). Butt weld refers to welding 2 ends from two separate fittings or pipe. Both ends are beveled (30 degrees is tapered from inside pipe diameter to outside pipe diameter on pipe/fitting connections)
The 'face' of the weld may be slightly convex, flat, or slightly concave.
The meaning of dia inch is the number of weld joints multiplied by the dia of a given pipe size, since the weld joints is on the 6" pipe, the calculations should be 1 weld x 6" = 6 dia inch.
Inch dia = Number of weld joints X Size of the pipe

0.40-0.45 Rs/inch
This is used differently in different countries. But generally, if a welder is contracted to do say 100 weld joints, of a 1" pipe, then the total work involved is 100" dia welding work. If 100 weld joints of a 2" pipe is 200 weld work and so on.
Gi weld not recommended . Because of gi coationg will be spoiled out . Puncture will be occur on the pipe weld .
Very likely to leak, zinc in the GI pipe will be contaiminating the weld and thus you cannot get a good weld.
let say you have 4" dia. of pipe and 10 welds so the total diameter inch of weld are 4 x 10 = 40 dia. inches
A weldolet is a fitting you weld on a (run) pipe, and then butt weld a branch pipe to it. A tredolet is a fitting you weld on a (run) pipe, and then screw a threaded branch pipe to it. Some people call this a threadolet A sockolet is a fitting you weld on a (run) pipe, and then socket weld a branch pipe to it. A nipolet is the same as a weldolet or thredolet but has an elongated branch connection. You have to specify if it's a welded or threaded nipolet.
formula for a 6" 45 degree lateral onto a 6" main
The pipe must be fixed (not rolled) in the horizontal position. With the pipe horizontal, the weld is vertical. The pipe being fixed requires the welder to weld flat (top), vertical (sides), and overhead (bottom). The pipe must be fixed (not rolled) in the horizontal position.
