4.0 out of 5 stars A very useful source of data in the same place, September 3, 2000

This review is from: Pocket Guide to Flanges, Fittings, and Piping Data, Third Edition (Paperback)

Another useful pocket guide for a wide range of professionals: process and mechanical engineers, designers, shop foremen, piping fitters and assemblers. A large number of data on flanges, piping, and fittings will certainly save a precious time looking for data in piles of different sources. It deserves to find its place among handful manuals to be at hand in every given point of time. Of course, one can not find in the book all information he might need. Nevertheless, this is the best source of data on the given subject I have ever come across so far.

1.0 out of 5 stars real value @ $7.95, December 13, 2001

This review is from: Pocket Guide to Flanges, Fittings, and Piping Data, Third Edition (Paperback)

this book is nothing that couldn't be found in any piping book, and at $(...), it is not worth buying. IPT's Pipe Trades Handbook by Robert A. Lee is 10 times this book at $(...).

A handy little book, it replaces many of my old pipe and fitting supplier catalogues and "hand me down" photocopied data tables.
