Fully updated for the 2008 Edition of the ASME B31.3 Code, this third edition provides background information, historical perspective, and expert commentary on the ASME B31.3 Code requirements for process piping design and construction. It provides the most complete coverage of the Code that is available today and is packed with additional information useful to those responsible for the design and mechanical integrity of process piping. The author is a long-serving member, and present Chairman, of the ASME B31.3, Process Piping Code committee. Dr. Becht explains the principal intentions of the Code, covering the content of each of the Code's chapters. Book inserts cover special topics such as calculation of refractory lined pipe wall temperature, spring design, design for vibration, welding processes, bonding processes and expansion joint pressure thrust. Appendices in the book include useful information for pressure design and flexibility analysis as well as guidelines for computer flexibility analysis and design of piping systems with expansion joints. From the new designer wanting to know how to size a pipe wall thickness or design a spring to the expert piping engineer wanting to understand some nuance or intent of the Code, everyone whose career involves process piping will find this to be a valuable reference.

This review is from: Process Piping: The Complete Guide to Asme B31.3 (Hardcover)
Charles Becht fills the gaps and provides practical application advice for Engineers, Designers, Inspectors and Fabricators. A book that is technically sound while still providing practical advise on complying with the code in real world situations. The Author has filled the much needed practical application tool to assure Code Compliance in everyday situations.
This book is highly recommended for Engineers, Designers, Fabricators and Inspectors. It provides real application to the ASME Code for both Engineers and Non-Engineers alike. The book is a great companion to ASME B31.3 Code and should be viewed as such. It is a welcome addition to our Technical Library and will be used for many years to come.
