Valves are the components in a fluid flow or pressure system that regulate either the flow or the pressure of the fluid. They are used in the process industries, especially petrochemical. This book analyzes the use, construction, and selection of valves in a comprehensive manner. It covers environmentally-conscious equipment and practices.

Covers guidelines and procedures on process plants and interconnecting piping systems. This book contributes more customized information on the necessary process equipment required for a suitable plant layout, such as pumps, compressors, heat exchangers, tanks, cooling towers and more.

Suitable for the piping engineer and designer in the field, this title fills a void in piping literature, since the Rip Weaver books of the '90s were taken out of print at the advent of the Computer Aid Design (CAD) era.

A companion to the "Valve Selection Handbook", this book covers the piping process, including the selection of piping materials according to the job, the application of the materials and fitting, trouble-shooting techniques for corrosion control, inspections for OSHA regulations, and even the warehousing, distributing, and ordering of materials.
