Review

...wealth of data presented in the text and appendices....The indexing is thorough and accurate....large graphics and formulae enhance the usefulness....recommended for all academic and research libraries. (E-STREAMS: www.e-streams.com)
Current design techniques are introduced for external pressure conditions. ... This edition defines how to calculate MAP, MAWP, and test pressures, and describes how to find or revise a vessel's center of gravity. (Mechanical Engineering)

Book Description

Easy-to-use reference providing a step-by-step approach that includes visual aids for easy understanding. --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid unless you have significant design experiance!, August 10, 2001
This review is from: Pressure Vessel Design Manual, Second Edition (Hardcover)
Although this book has "illustrated procedures for solving major pressure vessel design problems" it is full of errors and typos. Although the second edition has clarified many of the problems in the first edition, the procedures are unclear and significantly flawed. In addition, there are several instances where Mr. Moss fails to define the conditions in which certain equations should be, and should not be used. Unless you have significant experience in designing pressure vessels, avoid this book, it will only cause frustration and poorly designed units.

1.0 out of 5 stars Almost unusable, May 27, 2006
Book is okay for basic formulas (i.e. heads and shells) but forget about using it for anything more. Even experienced engineers have a difficult time following some of the equations. Probably usable for a very experienced pressure vessel designer, but not recommended for anyone else.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good reference book, but beware., February 26, 2003
By 
Wayne H (Calgary, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pressure Vessel Design Manual, Second Edition (Hardcover)
It is a good reference book to have.

But, it is not for the inexperienced vessel engineer. It does have typo errors in the formulas (it was worst in the initial edition). To use the book, you do have to know how these formulas are derived and where they came from. If you're not an experienced Engineer and blindly use it as a cook book then you're in for a surprise.
