The most comprehensive manual of its kind in my opinion. I am a veteran pipe fitter of 20 years. Just like master card, "don't leave for work with out it!"

This book was to replace my old book that had been borowed and not returned. This book is a "must have" for anyone actively involved in the pipelining industry. While some of the homemade fittings cannot be used in code piping it can and has solved many problems during my 30+years of cross-country pipline cnstruction.

on page 168 in estimating the weight of steel pipe the multiplier should be .2225 instead of .2199. I use this book quite often in the trade and recomend it to many of the people entering the workforce

I worked in the metal fabrication industry for many years as a Welder/Fitter (sorry I was always a welder first). This book saves a lot of time in the layout process. Through it one can learn trigonometric functions to solve layout problems. Armed with a blueprint the handbook and a calculator your can master just about any project (specially when they hand you a rough sketch). Useful for all metal fabrications not just pipefitting!The Pipe Fitter's and Pipe Welder's Handbook, Revised Edition

excellent book for pipefitting. this is a new copy for me. my other copy is 29 years old

I've been in the business as a steamfitter for 20 years and this book is the number 1 reference book used industry wide today. Includes your basics and a lot of rarely (but sometimes) used layouts and design.

If you are a professional pipe fitter or plumber, home owner or handy person you must get this book. It saves the time you would take figuring out angles, pipe length, tank capacities, fittings and pretty much all the time consuming math associated with plumbing. this book helps me at work as well at home. I strongly recommend investing in this book!!

OUR PIPE FITTERS FIND THIS BOOK TO BE OF GREAT USE. THE ONLY THING THAT IS SOME WHAT OF A PROBLEM IS THE BINDING. THE PAGES SEEM TO FALL APART AFTER A SHORT TIME OF USE. WOULD BE GREAT IF THEY COULD HAVE A SPIRAL BINDING OF SOME TYPE.

My father has been a welder for over thirty years. H eaquired this book when he was in college in the 70's and had used it until it was falling apart. He swears by it, and I can't think of higher praise than that.

The Pipe Fitter's and Pipe Welder's Handbook, Revised Edition Never leave home without it!
