Written for the piper and engineer in the field, this volume fills a huge void in piping literature since the ''Rip Weaver'' books of the 90s were taken out of print. Focussing not only on Auto CAD, but also on other computer-aided design programmes as well and manual techniques not found anywhere else, the book covers the entire spectrum of needs for the piping engineer. Covering general piping systems, this basic guide for the piping engineer offers standards in practices for covered in the original ''Rip Weaver'' series. It is the perfect introduction to the design of piping systems, various processes and the layout of pipe work connecting the major items of equipment for the new hire, the engineering student and the veteran engineer needing a reference.
