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.

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

This is Volume 1 of the fully revised second edition. Organized to provide the technical professional with ready access to practical solutions, this revised, three-volume, 2,100-page second edition brings to life essential ASME Codes with authoritative commentary, examples, explanatory text, tables, graphics, references, and annotated bibliographic notes. This new edition has been fully updated to the current 2004 Code, except where specifically noted in the text. Gaining insights from the 78 contributors with professional expertise in the full range of pressure vessel and piping technologies, you find answers to your questions concerning the twelve sections of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, as well as the B31.1 and B31.3 Piping Codes. In addition, you find useful examinations of special topics including rules for accreditation and certification; perspective on cyclic, impact, and dynamic loads; functionality and operability criteria; fluids; pipe vibration; stress intensification factors, stress indices, and flexibility factors; code design and evaluation for cyclic loading; and bolted-flange joints and connections.

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.
