Description
This book offers a unique insight into the technologies associated with ASME code design, fabrication, materials, testing, and examination of process piping. This book goes far beyond the literary words of the code by explaining specific code paragraphs and related ASME code interpretations, where even a close study of the code on its own may not produce a clear conclusion. It provides a detailed interpretation of the 1999 ASME B31.3 Code - Process Piping. It includes 35 practical example problems and solutions. It also includes sample test reports.
