YOUR QUICK KEY TO TIME- AND $-SAVING PIPE AND FITTING DATA

Throw out that pile of catalogs, journals, manuals, and battered textbooks. Get ready for a clean desk and tons less aggravation because the answers you used to dig for are right here. 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. Look inside to see how much easier it can be to:

*Specify pipe and components with cost-cutting comparisons of design criteria
