Product Review
Review of first edition:
presents a solid foundation in the basics of industrial drafting and design. (Computer-Aided Engineering)

Review of second edition:
The present format is very simple and logically arranged. Such has not been the case with most pipe drafting books of the past. (Hubert E. Belisle, Louisiana State University)

this book provides step-by-step instructions to walk pipe designers and drafters, as well as students in engineering design graphics and engineering technology, through the creating of piping arrangement and isometric drawings using symbols for fittings, flanges, valves and mechanical equipment. Over 350 illustrations and photographs provide examples and visual instructions. Drawing are systematically arranged, beginning with the layout of the structural foundations of a facility, through to the development of a 3D model. Advanced chapters discuss the customization of AutoCAD and AutoLISP, and detail the use of third-party software to create 3D models from which elevation, section and isometric drawings are extracted, including bills of material. -Petroleum Review, August 2002

Reader Reviews
This book is clear, easy to read and well laid out. It does an excellent job of introducing pipe drafting to a person with a general drafting background. However, very little of the book has anything to do with the 'how' of piping design. All it does is explain in simple, concise terms why the items in a piping facitily are put together the way they are. In summary, if you looking for a good book on piping drafting, look no further. If, on the other hand, your focus is piping design, then you need to look elsewhere.
