Contains six panel session summaries and 27 technical papers presented at the August 1999 conference. The paper topics include parametric studies on the pressure-temperature curve for the RSE- M code, fracture toughness requirements for ASME section VIII vessels for temperatures colder than 77K, unc

Based on some of his students most frequently asked questions, Antaki emphasizes the practical applications of this ASME recommended practice. With this book readers will understand and apply API 579 in their daily work. The material is based on the author’s course and presented in clear concise manor. The book demonstrates how the disciplines of stress analysis, materials engineering, and nondestructive inspection interact and apply to fitness-for-service assessment. These assessment methods apply to pressure vessels, piping, and tanks that are in service. This makes it the perfect companion book for Ellenberger’s, Pressure Vessels: ASME Code Simplified as well as Ellenberger’s Piping Systems and Pipeline: ASME B31 Code Simplified.

This considerably extended and revised new edition of the FDBR - Dictionary of Pressure Vessel and Piping Technology is an evaluation of the technical terms found in the latest editions of the American and British regulations, technical rules, standards, and specifications, such as ANSI, API, ASME, BSI, EJMA, MSS, TEMA as well as European Standards, the terminology of comparable German regulations, rules and standards together with the essential literature and information brochures of numerous manufacturers. This dictionary which was supplemented by 4,000 terms now contains more than 16,000 terms and numerous explanations to the various technical fields such as pressure vessels, columns, tanks, heat exchangers, vales, bursting disc devices, steam traps, piping technology strength calculation, materials, welding, destructive and non-destructive examinations, quality management, testing and inspection, thermal and fluids engineering. Due to the numerous comprehensive and detailed explanations the dictionary's encyclopedic quality is underlined.

The majority of the cost-savings for any oil production facility is the prevention of failure in one of the production equipment such as pressure vessels. This book provides engineers with the advanced tools to alter, repair and re-rate pressure vessels using ASME, NBIC and API 510 codes and standards.
