Originally published as part of volume 3 of the Companion Guide to the ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code, this fully updated and expanded volume is now a stand-alone publication that addresses Continuing and Changing Priorities for the success of current and next generation Nuclear Reactors and Internals, License Renewal, Public Safety, PRA and Spent Fuel Pool-related issues.

Standards play a very important part in the engineering world. They supplement the design process by guiding the designer or user to ensure consistent products with safe and reliable operation. Understanding and complying with relevant standards helps to ensure a successful design, fabrication, and operation of a product. This book introduces the concept of standards and their impact and value.

A comprehensive professional reference book and training tool covering hydrocarbon liquid pipeline systems, including pipeline and appurtenances design, hydraulics design, pumping, and storage/terminal facilities designs, as well as operation and maintenance. Both high and low vapour pressure and batching systems are covered.

In this book, expert authors recognise the renewed relevance of nuclear power in the U.S. after decades of stagnation. It was imperative to develop an up-to-date, scholarly work on containment structures, incorporating the underlying regulations, safety significance, history, design philosophy, design experience, operating experience, and application to new design.

The authors of this book advise an alternative approach to career development for science, technology, engineer-ing, and mathematics (STEM) professionals.

Whether you are a beginning design engineer or an experienced engineering manager developing a mechanical integrity program, this guidebook gives you an examination and review of the requirements applicable to the design, materials selection, fabrication, inspection, and testing of pressure vessels and their components.

A practical reference book on piping engineering and stress analysis. It emphasizes three main concepts: using engineering common sense to foresee a potential piping stress problem, performing the stress analysis to confirm the problem, and lastly, optimizing the design to solve the problem.

This expanded and fully updated Handbook contains new results and adds some significant modifications, most notably a new section on "Negative Stiffness and Damping," which is critical for understanding dynamic processes in mechanical systems. The book will be useful for practicing engineers working in the field of machine design, design of machine elements, machine dynamics, mechatronics, robotics and precision engineering. It will also be a useful reference for educators, as well as advanced undergraduate and graduate students.

Suitable for engineering professionals involved with the management of petroleum and other industry operations, this book develops the concept of limiting constitutes, spill remediation, and waste disposal on site. It is based on years of research and experience in the clean-up of oil and gas field non-hazardous waste.

A reference to geo-environmental topics for pipeline engineers worldwide. It covers topics such as: route selection, open cut and elevated river crossings, buoyancy control and geohazard management. It provides generalists with working knowledge in the topics addressed to better define design, construction and integrity management issues.

Discusses the methods for monitoring and controlling a pipeline system safely and efficiently. This book reviews the various automation technologies and discusses the design, implementation and operation of pipeline automation, with emphasis on centralized automation systems.

Offers a collection of chapters featuring ASME Piping and Pressure Vessel Code applications. This volume enables readers to learn to solve various mechanical problems, including: Pipe Stress and Strain; Structural Supports; Pressure Vessels; Jacketed Pipes; and Bellows-Type Expansion Joints.

Superheated Steam; and, SI Units - Table 4 Saturated Water and Steam (Temperature Table), Table 5. Saturated Water and Steam (Pressure Table), and, Table 6. Superheated Steam.

An ASME Research Report prepared by the Sampling and Monitoring Task Group and the Water Technology Subcommittee of the Research and Technology Committee on Water and Steam in Thermal Systems of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.

Describes the working aerodynamic design and analysis systems, for both axial-flow and radial-flow turbines. This book provides practical design strategies for applying both turbine types, which are illustrated by design examples. It is intended for practicing engineers concerned with the design and development of turbines and related machinery.

The term ""Taguchi methods"" was coined in the United States. It pertains to the evaluation and improvement of the robustness of products - or what may also be termed ""quality engineering"". The purpose of this book is to explain these terms and it is aimed at managers and technology developers.

This essential new volume provides background information, historical perspective, and expert commentary on the ASME B31.1 Code requirements for power piping design and construction. It provides the most complete coverage of the Code that is available today and is packed with additional information useful to those responsible for the design and mechanical integrity of power piping.

Provides a wealth of practical knowledge and industry best practices to address dependability management and engineering issues with helpful guidance and checklists from a system life cycle perspective, hence making this book a valued asset as a comprehensive desk-top reference.
