"Pressure Vessels: Design and Practice covers the basic theories and principles behind the stress limiting conditions in the codes. It is also a practical guide for designing pressure vessels of all types. Not just a cookbook, this volumes allows you to trace the origin of the design equations used in the pressure vessel design and construction codes offering a valuable insight into the design process."--Jacket.
