    This encyclopedic volume covers almost every phase of piping design - presenting procedures in a straightforward way.;Written by 82 world experts in the field, the Piping Design Handbook: details the basic principles of piping design; explores pipeline shortcut methods in an in-depth manner; and presents expanded rules of thumb for the piping design engineer.;Generously illustrated with over 1575 figures, display equations, and tables, the Piping Design Handbook is for chemical, mechanical, process, and equipment design engineers.

    Part 1 Fluid flow: fluid flow; crude oils; gas flow pressure drop; measurement; natural gas; slurry systems, nomograph; slurry systems and pipelines; two-phase design; two-phase pressure drop computation; water hammer. Part 2 Fluidics. Part 3 Piping design: piping design; economic diameter; equivalent length estimation; fittings, number and types; fittings, pressure drop; flashing steam condensate; gravity flow; liquid carbon dioxide; maximum pressure for steel piping; offshore considerations; photogrammetry and computer-aided; polytropic compression; sizing economics; steam lines, optimum diameter; temperature (high) considerations; temperature (low) considerations; tracing costs; vacuum considerations; piping and instrumentation diagrams; thermoplastic hose; around control valves.
