Taking a big-picture approach Piping and Pipeline Engineering: Design Construction Maintenance Integrity and Repair elucidates the fundamental steps to any successful piping and pipeline engineering project whether it is routine maintenance or a new multi-million dollar project. The author explores the qualitative details calculations and techniques that are essential in supporting competent decisions. He pairs coverage of real world practice with the underlying technical principles in materials design construction inspection testing and maintenance. Discover the seven essential principles that will help establish a balance between production cost safety and integrity of piping systems and pipelinesThe book includes coverage of codes and standards design analysis welding and inspection corrosion mechanisms fitness-for-service and failure analysis and an overview of valve selection and application. It 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.
