Whether its called fixed equipment (at ExxonMobil), stationary equipment (at
Shell), or static equipment (in Europe), this type of equipment is the bread
and butter of any process plant. Used in the petrochemical industry,
pharmaceutical industry, food processing industry, paper industry, and the
manufacturing process industries, stationary equipment must be kept operational
and reliable for companies to maintain production and for employees to be safe
from accidents. This series, the most comprehensive of its kind, uses real-life
examples and time-tested rules of thumb to guide the mechanical engineer
through issues of reliability and fitness-for-service.
This volume on piping and pipeline assessment is the only handbook that the
mechanical or pipeline engineer needs to assess pipes and pipelines for
reliability and fitness-for-service.
* Provides essential insight to make informed decisions on when to run, alter,
repair, monitor, or replace equipment
* How to perform these type of assessments and calculations on pipelines is a
hot issue in the petrochemical industry at this time
* There is very little information on the market right now for pipers and
pipeliners with regard to pipe and pipeline fitness-for-service
