Description

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. This book fills a training void with complete and practical understanding of the requirements and procedures for producing a safe, economical, operable and maintainable process facility. Easy to understand for the novice, this guide includes critical standards, newer designs, practical checklists and rules of thumb.

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. 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, then goes on to cover piping stress analysis and the daily needed calculations to use on the job.

Key Features

  • Delivers a practical guide to pipe supports, structures and hangers available in one go-to source
  • Includes information on stress analysis basics, quick checks, pipe sizing and pressure drop
  • Ensures compliance with the latest piping and plant layout codes and complies with worldwide risk management legislation and HSE
  • Focuses on each piece of equipment, such as pumps, towers, underground piping, pipe sizes and supports
  • Covers piping stress analysis and the daily needed calculations to use on the job
