Description
Volume 1 of this 2-part Chemical Engineering Guidebook contains practical, how-to articles originally published in Chemical Engineering magazine. The collection provides detailed discussions and recommendations for piping design, component selection, proper sizing, and operation. Emphasis is placed on safety, cost estimation, and maintaining the integrity of high-purity chemicals, hazardous substances, and general plant operations.
Articles cover piping-system operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting, as well as tips for leak prevention, corrosion control, vibration mitigation, and piping-related project management.
