Piping Handbook

by Mohinder L. Nayyar

Overview

Instant answers to your toughest questions on piping components and systems!

It's impossible to know all the answers when piping questions are on the table - the field is just too broad. That's why even the most experienced engineers turn to Piping Handbook, edited by Mohinder L. Nayyar, with contribution from top experts in the field. The Handbook's 43 chapters--14 of them new to this edition--and 9 new appendices provide, in one place, everything you need to work with any type of piping, in any type of piping system:

• design
• layout
• selection of materials
• fabrication and components
• operation
• installation
• maintenance

This world-class reference is packed with a comprehensive array of analytical tools, and illustrated with fully-worked-out examples and case histories. Thoroughly updated, this seventh edition features revised and new information on design practices, materials, practical applications and industry codes and standards--plus every calculation you need to do the job.

Editorial Reviews

Revised and updated edition of a classic reference first published in 1930 and last published in 1967 (the publisher states that 90% of the current contents are either new or extensively revised). Concentrating on practical aspects of piping, the Handbook comprehensively covers all the recent changes in the relevant codes, standards, specifications, and regulations. It also discusses the piping for toxic and hazardous waste systems; reports on the new materials now used for different piping systems; and examines the new technological developments that have revolutionized today's piping systems in such different areas as design, fabrication, installation, testing, examination, operation, and maintenance. Includes appendices with conversion tables and technical data on such topics as pipe properties, tube properties, and friction loss for water. Acidic paper. Annotation c.
