Study Notes
Piping Handbook - 7th Edition
- Edited by Mohinder L. Nayyar, P.E., ASME Fellow.
- Previous editions edited by Reno C. King and Sabin Crocker.
- Published by McGraw-Hill.
- Copyright 2000, 1992, 1967, with earlier copyrights dating back to 1930.
- ISBN 0-07-047106-1.
Chapter Content Overview
- Part A: Piping Components and Fundamentals: Includes chapters on piping materials, codes and standards, manufacturing, fabrication, installation, bolted joints, various piping systems (prestressed concrete, grooved and pressfit), and valve selection. Specific authors are listed for each chapter.
- Part B: Generic Design Considerations: Covers design documents, bases, layout, stress analysis, support systems, heat tracing, thermal insulation, fluid flow, and various types of piping linings (cement-mortar, concrete, epoxy, rubber, plastic). Specific authors are listed for each chapter.
Key Definitions and Concepts (from excerpts shown)
- Piping Classification: Typically aligned with pressure-temperature ratings from ASME B16.5, corresponding to PN designators (Table A1.2 provides a class/PN comparison).
- Pipe Size Designation: Uses Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) and Diameter Nominal (DN) designations. DN 50 is equivalent to NPS 2; for sizes above NPS 80, multiply NPS by 25 to obtain DN.
- Pipe Wall Thickness: Defined by schedule numbers (5, 10, 20, etc.), indicating the approximate value of 1000P/S (P=service pressure, S=allowable stress in psi). Higher schedule numbers mean thicker pipes. Original designations (STD, XS, XXS) retained but correspond to specific schedule numbers depending on pipe size. Schedule numbers followed by "S" are per ASME B36.19M (primarily for stainless steel).
- ASME Standards: ASME B36.19M and ASME B36.10M are referenced for pipe dimensions and schedules; B36.19M may not cover all sizes.
- Additional Key Terms: Definitions provided for terms such as erection, erosion, examination, expansion joint, extruded nozzles/pipe, fabrication, face of weld, filler metal, fillet weld, fire hazard, flat-land bevel, horizontal-position groove weld, horizontal rolled position, hot bending, hot taps, hot working, hydraulic radius, impact test, imperfection, incomplete fusion, indication, induction heating, inspection, and instrument piping. Many of these definitions include clarifying figures (referenced but not shown in provided text).
