The Modern Pipefitter's Manual contains technical and practical
information regarding pipe history, pipe characteristics, materials,
fittings, connections, valves, joining, and installation methods. It
also addresses the laying lengths of piping, valves, and connections
that are critical when planning piping layout. This new work uses some
of the most tried and true information, charts, and tables found in
Industrial Press's seminal resource, the Pipefitters Handbook, but has
reorganized, redrawn, updated and modernized them to be more appropriate
and in-line for modern day users.
Questions at the end of each chapter help readers learn and understand
the most essential material and are similar to those found on a typical
pipefitting certification exam. Useful Appendix materials include more
reference data, answers to the exam questions, math and conversion
factors, and specific tables and charts for pipe, water, and metal.
Packed with all these extensive, educational features, the Modern
Pipefitter's Manual is an unparalleled resource for pipefitters at all
levels of experience.
