pdf, 912 pages, english
ISBN: 978-3-030-36429-8
The main purpose of this guidebook is to suggest effective engineering data which are based on the requirements in several industrial codes, standards, regulations, specifications, and regulations, such as ASME, ASTM, API, ANSI, AWS, NACE, MSS, NFPA, TEMA, PIP, NBIC, OSHA, other American standards, CSA, and foreign standards including typical requirements and recommendations in company/project specifications. One of the major purposes is to introduce practical references for a checklist as well as more detailed engineering work in one location and to provide the following:
- Typically used project’s standards, guidelines, and application scope which are not covered in industrial codes and standards;
- Engineering practice and experience for the limitations of codes and standards;
- Engineering suggestions and test results from journals and papers with new technologies;
- Case studies and various reference resources;
- Correct recognition and effective spec deviation through various comparisons.
All information in industrial codes and standards are based on the current version unless otherwise specified and except some foreign standards. All mechanical data which are shown in this book are for reference only. Therefore, for detail engineering of mechanical design, it is advised to find the applicable codes and standards in accordance with the project requirement and/or process conditions. Most codes and standards have the section for the reference standards which are related with themselves. In some cases, the reference standards may indicate still old versions. The unit conversions in this book are from conversion calculation or directly each code and standard. Therefore, some converted values between the similar codes and standards may not show the same numbers in this book because the committees of codes and standards have been pursuing unit conversion by their own rounding-up system.
Many tables and figures are directly quoted from the codes and standards; however, some commentary notes which are based on the author’s experience and lessons learned are added as footnotes under the tables and figures in order to optimize engineering work, promote the successful use of the full contents, minimize error and mistake, and suggest for the next version. All specified para. (paragraphs), Fig. (figures), and tables are based on this book unless otherwise noted the directly quoted code or standard. Users and readers may be able to apply "should or may” to "must/shall or should” for the requirements in this book when the user wants to utilize the contents for the project specifications. |
