Description
Pipe designers and drafters provide thousands of piping drawings used in the layout of industrial and other facilities. The layouts must
comply with safety codes, government standards, client specifications, budget, and start-up date. Pipe Drafting and Design, Second Edition
provides step-by-step instructions to walk pipe designers and drafters and students in Engineering Design Graphics and Engineering Technology
through the creation of piping arrangement and isometric drawings using symbols for fittings, flanges, valves, and mechanical equipment.
The book is appropriate primarily for pipe design in the petrochemical industry.
More than 350 illustrations and photographs provide
examples and visual instructions. A unique feature is the systematic arrangement of drawings that begins with the layout of the structural
foundations of a facility and continues through to the development of a 3-D model. Advanced chapters discuss the customization of AutoCAD,
AutoLISP and details on the use of third-party software to create 3-D models from which elevation, section and isometric drawings are
extracted including bills of material.
Audience:
Primary Market: Students in Engineering Design Graphics or Engineering Technology departments
Secondary Market: Pipe designers and drafters
