 YOUR SEARCH FOR THE BEST PIPING BOOK IS OVER ! Mar 06, 2000
By tinopdes@singnet.com.sg
After reading the first few pages, I knew that I've finally found the "one". I have collection of books about the subject from different authors and as a piping designer, this is the most useful reference book. Other books are just compilation of useless rubbish.I bought this a year ago, I think the author deserves the long overdue compliment.

Extensive drawings make this a 'must have' for Designers Oct 01, 1998
By duffer_dolbec@msn.com
Hundreds of detailed drawings demonstrating the best practices of Plant Layout and Design distinguishes this book from its competitors. Clear information on plot plan development, equipment arrangement, and piping layout associated with different types of equipment and structures is described in detail. This book is used by the Society of Piping Engineers in their course on Plant Design.

 Good basic but needs an update urgently Aug 30, 2006
By Guy van Ophalvens
First some positive news : this book certainly gives an overview of the problems a process plant engineer will have to face. Many practical examples are given, and after some general introduction there are separate chapters per typical equipment (e.g. pumps, heat exchangers, etc.). It is also positive the non-american majority of the world is not forgotten : there are metric dimensions on the figures.
However there are also some setbacks : the book can't hide it is OLD. All figures are hand-drawn, CAD was clearly still science fiction on the moment this book was published. This definitely gives it an outdated feeling - I guess though the content is still accurate.
Second settback : the size. It's far too big and clumsy, without good reason. Really not something you put in your drawer for a quick loop-up.
Finally : I find it a good general starting point but had hoped it would be somewhat less shalow. After a first reading I don't think I'll have to keep it on hand for looking up.

 Good comprehensive read, easy to get to grips with Nov 30, 2006
By Benson
"Benson"
At first glance this book seems impressive - good illustrations, easy to read and seemingly well organised. The book only gets better the more times you use it too. If you are going to try 3D Plant Design then you would be wise to use this book as well as a program such as the 3D Pipe Fittings one available from Hercule Design.
If you are going to use a pre-developed library of parts then it is worth buying but otherwise be warned that 3D drafting of pipe systems will be time consuming.
Unique and Important Book Apr 13, 2012
By MJCronin
This book fills a unique need in the field of plant layout and design. There have been no new texts like it because this field is dying like many of the old plant designers. Particularly important is the emphasis on the relationship between pipe racks and the overall processes.
Since we haven't built a substantial refinery or large process plant in the uS for decades, this book serves as the only important reference for all of the 3D CAD newbies out there.
My only suggestion is that there is not enough discussion of electrical layouts - especially the effects of DCS systems on equipment placement
There should be plans for a newer and updated edition
