AlbakiReads Editorial

A reference manual for pipefitting calculations and layouts

Reprinted from the 1959 edition, this handbook is organized as a practical reference for pipefitting work in shops and in the field. Its tables are intended to provide ready answers to common fitting problems, alongside material on bending, offsets, mitered joints, dimensions, threading, fittings and valves. The scope also extends to solder-joint and plastic pipe, sheet-metal data, steam properties, melting points, conversion factors and terminology. The publisher describes this as an exact facsimile, so it presents the earlier edition rather than a newly updated manual.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Pipefitters seeking a table-based reference for layout and installation questions
  • Readers interested in historical trade manuals and mid-century technical references

Book overview

2012 Reprint of 1959 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This manual is written especially to enable pipefitters to quickly solve problems involving pipe bending, layout or installation, either in shop or in the field. This second edition has 126 pages of additional material than published in the previous edition of 1953. A large part of the book is taken directly from the author's original tables which he has developed over a long period of time, as a result of his 35 years' experience as a pipefitter. These tables eliminate the necessity for making lengthy calculations by giving immediate answers to all kinds of pipe fitting problems. Information on: Pipe Bending, Offsets, Mitered Joints, Standard Pipe Dimensions and Thread Data, Screwed Fittings, Valves, Solder Joint Fittings, Plastic Pipe, Sheet Metal Data, Properties of Steam, Melting Points, Conversion Factors and a Dictionary Of Terms.
