Customer Ratings:

Picking up where the success of the previous editions left off, this book is an accumulation of design procedures, methods, techniques, formulations, and data for use in the design of pressure vessels, their respective parts and equipment. It's written specifically for designers and engineers involved in designing and specifying or manufacturing of pressure vessels. The book also has broader applications to chemical, civil and petroleum engineers who construct, install or operate process facilities, and would be a valuable aid to those who inspect the manufacturing of pressure vessels or review designs.

The format of this book continues to differ from most technical ones, as there are many handy visual aids throughout the text. It is not just a reference book, but a practical guideline, that aids designers and engineers to solve practically every design problem that an engineer might encounter with pressure vessels. As an easy-to-use reference, the book provides the user with a logical step by step approach to the design of ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) Code vessels, such as the method for determining the Minimum Design Metal Temperature (an ASME requirement for all pressure vessels).

* Covers a collection of design and analysis methods, all presented with the use of visual aides.
* New edition includes 26 new procedures, giving the engineer 83 different procedures to use as tools in solving design issues.
* Works not just a reference tool, but a practical guideline for every design problem.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Customer Rating:
Summary: Almost unusable
Comment: Book is okay for basic formulas (i.e. heads and shells) but forget about using it for anything more. Even experienced engineers have a difficult time following some of the equations. Probably usable for a very experienced pressure vessel designer, but not recommended for anyone else.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good reference book, but beware.
Comment: It is a good reference book to have.

But, it is not for the inexperienced vessel engineer. It does have typo errors in the formulas (it was worst in the initial edition). To use the book, you do have to know how these formulas are derived and where they came from. If you're not an experienced Engineer and blindly use it as a cook book then you're in for a surprise.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Avoid unless you have significant design experiance!
Comment: Although this book has "illustrated procedures for solving major pressure vessel design problems" it is full of errors and typos. Although the second edition has clarified many of the problems in the first edition, the procedures are unclear and significantly flawed. In addition, there are several instances where Mr. Moss fails to define the conditions in which certain equations should be, and should not be used. Unless you have significant experience in designing pressure vessels, avoid this book, it will only cause frustration and poorly designed units.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very good
Comment: I`d want to be sure that you'll find the book, I`m very interested in it, and I`d like to know if there is an spanish version of it or one related to it ( design pressure vessel )

Customer Rating:
Summary: Very handy,but not available
Comment: The book is very good. Procedures are given in a step by step form and computerisation is easy.
