Whether it's the thermal conductivity of insulation materials or a conversion factor for viscosity, sizes and types of metallic or nonmetallic pipe or fitting dimensions, manufacturers' names or that elusive bit of terminology, the Piping Databook will spare you hours of frustrating fact-hunting.
It's packed with material that mechanical, chemical, process, and civil engineers, architects, facility managers, installers and operators, HVAC personnel, and other professionals use in designing, planning, specifying, ordering, and problem-solving every day.
The Piping Databook makes it much easier to:
- Specify pipe and components with cost-cutting comparisons of design criteria
- Design systems for new uses with easy-to-find equations, tabular product data, photos, U.S. and international codes and standards
- Select and specify domestic or international materials for piping elements to save time and cost
- Do quick conversions with metric and other fast-lookup tables and charts
- Use tables presented with both customary and metric units
- Find all major manufacturers, suppliers, fabricators, installers, and testing companies at a glance for the part or system you need
- See illustrations of pipes, fittings, parts, and piping specialty items before you order
- Select and specify insulation material and the insulation thickness without makingtime-consuming calculations
- Find types of pipe supports and hangers; select support spans for metallic and nonmetallic piping systems
- Discover innovations in products, applications, and procedures
- Find abbreviations, acronyms, terminology, professional organizations, computer programs, and so much more
