YOUR SEARCH FOR THE BEST PIPING BOOK IS OVER !
Mar 6 2000
By tinopdes@singnet.com.sg
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
After reading the first few pages, I knew that I've finally found the "one". I have collection of books about the subject from different authors and as a piping designer, this is the most useful reference book. Other books are just compilation of useless rubbish.I bought this a year ago, I think the author deserves the long overdue compliment.

Extensive drawings make this a 'must have' for Designers

- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Hundreds of detailed drawings demonstrating the best practices of Plant Layout and Design distinguishes this book from its competitors. Clear information on plot plan development, equipment arrangement, and piping layout associated with different types of equipment and structures is described in detail. This book is used by the Society of Piping Engineers in their course on Plant Design.

Good basic but needs an update urgently
Aug 30 2006
By Guy van Ophalvens
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
First some positive news : this book certainly gives an overview of the problems a process plant engineer will have to face. Many practical examples are given, and after some general introduction there are separate chapters per typical equipment (e.g. pumps, heat exchangers, etc.). It is also positive the non-american majority of the world is not forgotten : there are metric dimensions on the figures.
However there are also some setbacks : the book can't hide it is OLD. All figures are hand-drawn, CAD was clearly still science fiction on the moment this book was published. This definitely gives it an outdated feeling - I guess though the content is still accurate.
Second settback : the size. It's far too big and clumsy, without good reason. Really not something you put in your drawer for a quick loop-up.
Finally : I find it a good general starting point but had hoped it would be somewhat less shalow. After a first reading I don't think I'll have to keep it on hand for looking up.
