A Quick Guide To Pipeline Engineering

Pipeline engineering requires an understanding of a wide range of topics. Operators must take into account numerous pipeline codes and standards, calculation approaches, and reference materials in order to make accurate and informed decisions. A Quick Guide to Pipeline Engineering provides concise, easy-to-use, and accessible information on onshore and offshore pipeline engineering. Topics covered include: design; construction; testing; operation and maintenance; and decommissioning. Basic principles are discussed and clear guidance on regulations is provided, in a way that will prove useful to both engineers and students. Provides concise, easy-to-use, and accessible information on onshore and offshore pipeline engineering Topics covered include design, construction, testing, operation, maintenance and decommissioning Basic principles are discussed and clear guidance on regulations is provided

Now in its sixth edition, Pipeline Rules of Thumb Handbook has been and continues to be the standard resource for any professional in the pipeline industry. A practical and convenient reference, it provides quick solutions to the everyday pipeline problems that the pipeline engineer, contractor, or designer faces. Pipeline Rules of Thumb Handbook assembles hundreds of shortcuts for pipeline construction, design, and engineering. Workable "how-to" methods, handy formulas, correlations, and curves all come together in this one convenient volume. * Save valuable time and effort using the thousands of illustrations, photographs, tables, calculations, and formulas available in an easy to use format. * Updated and revised with new material on project scoping, plastic pipe data, HDPE pipe data, fiberglass pipe, NEC tables, trenching, and much more. * A book you will use day to day guiding every step of pipeline design and maintenance.

Offering the fundamental information for successful piping and pipeline engineering, this book pairs real-world practice with the underlying technical principles in materials, design, construction, inspection, testing, and maintenance. It covers codes and standards, design analysis, welding and inspection, corrosion mechanisms, fitness-for-service and failure analysis, and an overview of valve selection and application. This volume features the technical basis of piping and pipeline code design rules for normal operating conditions and occasional loads and addresses the fundamental principles of materials, design, fabrication, testing, and corrosion, as well as their effect on system integrity.

"Pipelines perform vital functions. They serve as arteries, bringing life-dependent supplies such as water, petroleum products, and natural gas to consumers through a dense underground network of transmission and distribution lines. They also serve as veins, transporting life-threatening waste (sewage) generated by households and industries to waste treatment plants for processing via a dense network of sewers. Because most pipelines are buried underground or underwater, they are out of sight and out of mind of the general public. The public pays little attention to pipelines unless and until a water main leaks, a sewer is clogged, or a natural gas pipeline causes an accident. However, as our highways and streets become increasingly congested with automobiles, and as the technology of freight pipelines continues to improve, the public is beginning to realize the need to reduce the use of trucks and to shift more freight transport to underground pipelines.

Piping and Pipeline Calculations Manual, Second Edition provides engineers and designers with a quick reference guide to calculations, codes, and standards applicable to piping systems. The book considers in one handy reference the multitude of pipes, flanges, supports, gaskets, bolts, valves, strainers, flexibles, and expansion joints that make up these often complex systems. It uses hundreds of calculations and examples based on the author's 40 years of experiences as both an engineer and instructor. Each example demonstrates how the code and standard has been correctly and incorrectly applied. Aside from advising on the intent of codes and standards, the book provides advice on compliance. Readers will come away with a clear understanding of how piping systems fail and what the code requires the designer, manufacturer, fabricator, supplier, erector, examiner, inspector, and owner to do to prevent such failures. The book enhances participants' understanding and application of the spirit of the code or standard and form a plan for compliance. The book covers American Water Works Association standards where they are applicable. Updates to major codes and standards such as ASME B31.1 and B31.12 New methods for calculating stress intensification factor (SIF) and seismic activities Risk-based analysis based on API 579, and B31-G Covers the Pipeline Safety Act and the creation of PhMSA
