Hello fellow piping engineers,

I would like to recommend to the group that you look into getting a copy of an important WRC document:

Title: Guidelines for the Design and Installation of Pump Piping Systems.
V. A. Carucci and J. A. Payne
Welding Research Council Bulletin 449

You may recognize the names of the authors - well respected engineers with many years of experience. The title is very descriptive of the contents - this is 48 pages of common sense guidelines to designing piping so that the pumps will survive. This is a must read and a great reference for your technical library.

Best regards, John

Hi again,

Slightly off-topic but my mention above of Vince Carucci compels me to remind fellow piping engineers of this web site:

http://files.asme.org/asmeorg/Governance/Volunteer/CareerSeries/9655.pdf

This is a .pdf (adobe) file (Overview of Process Plant Piping Systems) so just download it and read it.

Regards, John

Hi JohnBreen (Mechanical):

Please check for technical error in API 610 INTERPOLATION, this was noted in December 2006, in the Pipng Stress Engineer Group.
