An indispensable reference for any piping or pipeline engineer
Offering the fundamental information for successful piping and pipeline engineering, this book pairs real world practice with the underlying technical principles in materials, design, construction, inspection, testing, and maintenance. It covers codes and standards, design analysis, welding and inspection, corrosion mechanisms, fitness-for-service and failure analysis, and an overview of valve selection and application. This volume features the technical basis of piping and pipeline code design rules for normal operating conditions and occasional loads and addresses the fundamental principles of materials, design, fabrication, testing and corrosion, and their effect on system integrity. 562 pp.Features:
- Addresses the fundamental principles of materials, design, fabrication, testing and corrosion, and their effect on system integrity
- Includes practical insights and checklists to help evaluate proper pipe and pipeline fabrication
- Addresses the effects of large operating loads, including pressure transients, high winds, seismic loads, explosions, subsea pressures and currents, and soil and surface loads on buried pipes
- Assists the busy engineer in conducting fitness-for-service analysis to
assess the significance of degradation mechanisms and calculate remaining
life, as well as make run-or-repair decisions
