The Engineers Guide to Plant Layout and Piping Design for the Oil and Gas Industries

Due to a lack of structured training in academic and technical institutions, engineers and pipe designers today may understand various computer software programs but lack the fundamental understanding and implementation of how to lay out process plants and run piping correctly in the oil and gas industry. The Engineer's Guide to Plant Layout and Piping Design for the Oil and Gas Industries fills this training void with a complete and practical understanding of the requirements and procedures for producing a safe, economical, operable, and maintainable process facility. Easy to understand for either the beginner or the novice to use as reference, this guide includes critical standards, newer designs, practical checklists and rules of thumb. Starting with basic terms, codes, and basis for selection, the book focuses on each piece of equipment such as pumps, towers, underground piping, pipe sizes and supports, including selection. Rounding out with piping stress analysis and the daily needed calculations to use on the job, The Engineer's Guide to Plant Layout and Piping Design for the Oil and Gas Industries gives pipeline engineers and plant managers a critical real-world reference to design, manage, and implement safe and effective plants and piping systems for today's operations. Delivers practical guide to pipe supports, structures and hangers available in one go-to sourceIncludes information on stress analysis basics, quick checks, pipe sizing and pressure dropEnsures compliance with the latest piping and plant layout codes and complies with worldwide risk management legislation and HSE INDICE: 1.
