Dennis R. Moss' Pressure Vessel Design Manual
(OP)
Wondering if any one has purchased or used Moss's book titled "Pressure Vessel Design Manual" and if they thought it was useful? Looking at the third addition to add to my library, but don't know much about it except TOC and index you can see on Amazon. Thanks.

You might go to Amazon and read the reader reviews for the book there.

It is one of those reference book one should have in his libary of reference books. It does not give any theory, rather it is a collection of usefull formulas in step by step set up (read good old fashion hand worksheet format). Good to have. Yes, get the latest edition as the early edition was full of errors.

I have an eleventh edition of Megyesy's PV Handbook which I use a lot. I reccomend Megyesy.

Moss' book is a compilation of information taken from different sources (codes, books, journals, Fluor practices, etc.) It is a good starting point for finding the "original" source of information. Whenever I use a formula in Moss' book, and when I have the resources, I always check the formulas against the latest editions of the original source.
