Synopsis

The Pressure Vessel Handbook covers design and construction methods of pressure vessels made of carbon steel. The Handbook reflects the continuous revisions of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division 1; as well as ANSI standards, API specifications, piping codes, and pressure vessel laws. The book contains 460 illustrations, 95 tables, and 30 charts.

About this title

Review

Contains practically everything required for the design and construction of pressure vessels. As such, this handbook becomes a convenient, extremely pertinent reference tool. --Joseph T. Buckmaster, P.E. OXY

Design engineers should find it invaluable for quick reference for most of their pressure vessel problems. --National Safety Council

Provides the formulae, technical data, design, and construction methods needed by the designer, layout person and other dealing with pressure vessels. In the past, practicing engineers often had difficulty finding the required data, codes, and solutions that were scattered throughout extensive literature. The author has brought together all of the above material under one cover, in a convenient form. --The Oil & Gas Journal
