Fitness-for-Service Evaluations for Piping and Pressure Vessels: ASME Code Simplified (MECHANICAL ENGINEERING)

Amazing go to reference for a quick sanity check that what you're doing is the right way when something crops up that you've not seen in a while.

I haven't read the whole text but just have a quick look. This book doesn't contain deep detail of each topic but if you are looking for a general guide/big picture before going to the deep detail in each standard further, it would help you I believe.

Easy to read. Lots of valuable information and examples. No unnecessary tables and 'padding' like in so many other books of this kind.All in all, very good value.

It's a very good book for engineers who want to understand how practically apply the ASME Code principles into the real engineering problems.

Fitness-for-service inspections and analysis demand the perspicacity of a Sherlock Holmes, the analytical ability of a Richard Feynman and a respect for documentation and corporate process controls - three skills not very often combined in one person. And yet the craft is a worthy one - a key enabler in the maintenance of our industrial infrastructure. In over 450 pages George Antaki more than does justice to this neglected, cross-disciplinary, critical engineering practice. Always he is after understanding, and his explanations of complex phenomena like corrosion, stress corrosion cracking and erosion-corrosion are lucid and concise. The author praises the API 579 code on which the book is based. I have read that 170 page code and the praise belongs to Mr. Antaki for producing this guide that goes well beyond code to be the best guide to this critical practice; the engineering backbone of the emerging practice of predictive maintenance and the cornerstone of the well managed industrial operation.

Excellent coverage of the subject.

Everything I need for inspections and is in a great easy to read format
