Pipe Rack From Hell

I say 200. No wonder my order of pipe was delayed it's all on that wall. I don't think I would have the patience to bend all that pipe.

I hope the correct answer is, "Enough" 
Looks good, I just wish the picture quality was better.

I heard that!!!!!
160 but due to the size of the pic and massive amount of pipe and low resolution, it is difficult to see each individual pipe.

It certainly seems more economical to use cable tray in an installation that requires that many conduits. By the way, pipefitters run pipe, electricians run conduit.
