Oil and Gas Pipelines and Piping Systems: Design, Construction, Management, and Inspection

With pipelines and refineries around the world, especially the US, running at max capacity, understanding and training on equipment, inspection and maintenance is imperative along with understanding associated facility piping systems. Oil and Gas Pipelines and Piping Systems: Design, Construction, Management, and Inspection delivers all the critical aspects needed for oil and gas piping and pipeline condition monitoring and maintenance, minimizing costly disruptions within operations. Broken up into two logical parts, the book begins with coverage on pipelines including essential topics such as material selection, designing for oil and gas central facilities, tank farms and depots, the construction and installment of transportation pipelines, pipe cleaning, and maintenance checklists. Moving over to piping, information covers piping material selection, designing and construction of plant piping systems, with attention paid to flexibility analysis on piping stress, a must-have component for both refineries with piping and pipeline systems. Heavily illustrated and practical for engineers and managers in oil and gas today, Oil and Gas Pipelines and Piping Systems: Design, Construction, Management, and Inspection supplies the oil and gas industry with a must-have reference for safe and effective pipeline and piping operations. Gain perspective on pipelines and piping operations specific to the oil and gas industryUnderstand all the relevant American and European codes and standards as well as English and Metric units for easier referenceVisualize the equipment and operations easily with extensive illustrations from various worldwide case studies and locations INDICE: Ch 1: Transportation PipelinesCh 2: Transportation Pipelines ConstructionCh 3: Welding of Transportation PipelineCh 4: Transportation Pipelines (Onshore) Pressure TestingCh 5: Inside Pipe Chemical CleaningCh 6: Pipe SupportsCh 7: Material for Launching and Receiving TrapsCh 8: Piping Material SelectionCh 9: Plant Piping SystemsCh 10: Construction of Plant Piping SystemsCh 11: Welding of Plant Piping SystemsCh 12: Materials for Line PipeCh 13: Flexibility AnalysisCh 14: Valves
