This review is from: Piping Calculations Manual (McGraw-Hill Calculations) (Paperback)
Very to the point and well organized reference book. Author has managed to pinpoint what is essential when you are in a hurry and want to refresh your memory without getting buried in a "my equation is bigger than yours" kind of debate.

3.0 out of 5 stars Piping or Pipeline?, March 21, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Piping Calculations Manual (McGraw-Hill Calculations) (Paperback)
The title of this book should be Pipeline Calculations Manual, since it focuses on pipeline only. Although it can be used for piping hydraulic calculations, they are slightly different and author should be accurate in title and description for the benefit of potential reader. I give 3 out of 5 to this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Overview, December 7, 2007
By 
This review is from: Piping Calculations Manual (McGraw-Hill Calculations) (Paperback)
This book covers a wide range of piping situations, however much of the material is repeated. The book does not cover topics such as K values, but it is a good general guide.
