Pipe Drafting and Design: Using Manual, Autocad, and Pro-Pipe Applications
Roy A. Parisher Robert A. Rhea
Format: Hardcover, 316pp.
ISBN: 0884156575
Publisher: Gulf Publishing Company
Pub. Date: January 1996

From Book News, Inc. , December 1, 1996
A step-by-step manual instructing students in the basic skills required for industrial drafting and design including advice on the use of AutoCAD and PRO-PIPE, the most commonly used pipe drafting software. The guide walks students through the creation of piping symbols for fittings, flanges, valves, and mechanical equipment. Each step provides a structural foundation for the culminating development of a 3-D model, giving the student an opportunity to visualize an entire piping facility. The volume features over 100 illustrations and photographs, and helpful exercises and questions for review and practice. The six appendices detail dimensional data, lettering, math, architect's scale, and computer use. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or

Piping and Pipe Support Systems: Design and Engineering
Paul R. Smith T. Van Laan
Format: Hardcover, 334pp.
ISBN: 0070589313
Publisher: McGraw-Hill Companies, The
Pub. Date: November 1990
From the Publisher
Originating as a set of lecture notes for a piping design and analysis workshop, this comprehensive, state-of-the-art reference is the only guide of its kind in print today providing broad coverage of pipe stress and supports engineering. Full of practical `how-to' information, the book is detailed enough for the seasoned professional, yet easy enough for the novice to understand. In it, the design criteria, codes, standards, and regulations are explained for power piping, fuel gas piping, chemical plant and refining piping, liquid petroleum transportation piping systems, refrigeration piping, gas transmission and distribution piping, building service piping, and nuclear power piping. Clear, thorough, and up-to-date, this text is required reading for all professionals and students in this rapidly changing field.

Reviewer: A reader from USA

I use this book all the time for pipe drawings. I agree with others that it is truly the "Bible of Process Piping". My engineers barrow it from me often. Pictures and charts on every page. Welding specs for pipe, pipe fittings and instrumentation assembly details, support details for pipe, different valve descriptions and details, P&ID symbols, welding symbols, tons of pictures throughout showing drafting procedures for piping layout and examples of piping details, many many charts of just about anything you might need from beam sizes to flange standards, stress, thread depth charts, etc. This IS the one, buy it!

Process Plant Layout and Piping Design
Ed Bausbacher Roger Hunt

Format: Paperback, 1st ed., 442pp.
ISBN: 0131386298
Publisher: PTR Prentice-Hall, Inc
Pub. Date: July 1993
The publisher, Prentice-Hall ECS Professional
Based on the authors' collective 65 years of experience in the engineering construction industry, this profusely illustrated, comprehensive guidebook presents tried-and-true workable methods and rules of thumb for plant layout and piping design for the process industries. Content is organized and presented for quick-reference on- the-job or for systematic study of specific topics. KEY TOPICS: Presents general concepts and principles of plant layout -- from basic terminology and input requirements to deliverables; deals with specific pieces of equipment and their most efficient layout in the overall plant design configuration; addresses the plant layout requirements for the most common process unit equipment; and considers the computerized tools that are now available to help plant layout and piping designers.

Piping Design Handbook

From Booknews
An encyclopedia of piping design methods, the contents of which were originally published in Encyclopedia of chemical processing and design (Dekker). Almost every phase of piping design is covered and presented in an article by an expert in that particular area. for simplicity, the Handbook is arranged in ten general sections to present the elements of fluid flow, fluidics, piping design, pipeline design, buried pipelines, pipeline supports, pipeline shortcut methods, operation and maintenance, pipeline failure, and the economics and costs of pipeline systems including a compendium of worldwide activity.

From Booknews
Presents the proceedings of four different technical sessions at the June 1994 conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Papers explain developments in common components in the power generation and process industries. Covers topics such as methods to design and install supports on power plant risers, pressure loading and thermal binding phenomena in gate valves, and an in-depth forensic investigation into a railroad car explosion. Lacks an index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
