Pipe Fitters And Pipe Welders Handbook

2012 Reprint of 1959 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This manual is written especially to enable pipefitters to quickly solve problems involving pipe bending, layout or installation, either in shop or in the field. This second edition has 126 pages of additional material than published in the previous edition of 1953. A large part of the book is taken directly from the author's original tables which he has developed over a long period of time, as a result of his 35 years' experience as a pipefitter. These tables eliminate the necessity for making lengthy calculations by giving immediate answers to all kinds of pipe fitting problems. Information on: Pipe Bending, Offsets, Mitered Joints, Standard Pipe Dimensions and Thread Data, Screwed Fittings, Valves, Solder Joint Fittings, Plastic Pipe, Sheet Metal Data, Properties of Steam, Melting Points, Conversion Factors and a Dictionary Of Terms.

A Timeless Classic! Compact and pocket-sized, this handy reference contains thousands of facts and figures relevant to pipefitters, steamfitters-anyone concerned with layout and installation of pipe. Provides answers to all sorts of problems indigenous to power and industrial pipebending, and the fabrication of welding fittings in both shop and field. Logically categorizes all material according to job description, supporting each working table with a clear example of how to use it. Includes a special reference section that gives instant data on the 24 most useful on-the-job subjects, such as spark tests for metals, sheet metal weights, valve types, weights and measures, and many more. Discusses all types of bends; elbows, tees, and crosses; plastic pipe; soldering and brazing; travel and run; fitting dimensions; threading pipe; relative physical properties; and more.

"Fitters & Welders Handbook" is a practical guide of Engineering Technique employed by Fitter and Welder engaged in process piping job or final year apprentice preparing for service interview. I do not claim that "Pipe Fitter & Welder Handbook" is the final book as a guide for Piping Engineering work. I have tried my best to share the knowledge and experience to make it better for Fitters & Welders whether final year apprentice or fresher in service or working as a junior in construction field and doing the Piping Engineering job. It is easy to grasp the basic knowledge and principles of Piping EngineeringPiping Fitter is the main technical professional who is responsible to deliver the quality job of piping work and he should have sufficient knowledge of Piping Engineering."Pipe Fitter Handbook" book has proved to be a friend and guide to many Pipe-Fitters, Contractors, and Technicians working with any Construction Companies and Consultants, who are responsible for Lays out, assembling, installation of piping systems, pipe supports, applying their knowledge of construction experience following blueprints and Select type and size of pipe, and related materials and equipment, such as supports, hangers, and hydraulic cylinders, according to piping drawings and specifications.
