The Planning Guide to Piping Design (Process Piping Deisgn Handbook)
The Planning Guide to Piping Design - Process Piping Deisgn Handbook Author:Richard J. Beale, Paul Bowers, Peter Smith This book covers the entire process of planning a plant model project from conceptual to mechanical completion, and explains where the piping engineer falls in the process along with his roles and responsibilities. Piping Engineering Leads (or PEL's) used to only receive on-the-job training to learn the operation of producing a process plant. Ov... more »ertime, more schools and programs have developed a more advanced curriculum for piping and mechanical engineers. However, younger generations of engineers are growing up with a much more technological view of piping design and are in need of a handbook that will explain the older methods in a step-by-step process. This handbook will provide mentors in the piping and refinery industries, the bridge needed for the upcoming engineer to grasp the new way and adjust accordingly. Critical topics covered in this handbook include: FEED study and key plans; Detailed design, such as the importance of CAD support and model reviews; Fabrication, new tools for automatic spool generation and linking to automatic fabrication of pipe spools; and, Construction, such as equipment installation and commissioning.« less
