The Best Material Selection book for Chemical plant engineers by Chemical Plant engineer 761 (Houston, TX, USA)  5 Stars
December 04, 2005
I am a senior engineer in Chemical plant leading plant operations, maintenance and design and found that this book is the most useful for material selection. Before I met this book, I have used Material Handbook (Brady,McGraw-Hill), vendor's information and metallurgy expert visiting engineering department. This book saves, say, 80% of those effort and time, thus recovering $200 of the book price. This book and "Corrosion and Corrosion Control",(H.H.Uhlig, Wiley) cover most of daily plant material issues, answering most of the chemical plant day-to-day material selection questions.
The virtue of this book is to stick to practical information. Usually material experts start from fundamental of science and end up with saying that material selection is dependent on situation. But this book provides specific material recommendation in typical corrosive environment. The way of categorizing material is also chemical plant operation base, listing up only economically justifiable materials only, and it is also very valuable feature of the book. Consequently this book can answer questions from plant and engineering people about what material to select and why so.
Another big benefit is Appendix 1with ASTM spec number list for each material. I know engineering department has more detail than this, but this is good enough to read equipment spec with plant operation and maintenance engineers.
I hope this book keeps being revised in the future. If so, I want to add cross-reference between those listed materials and their trade name& suppliers, since in the field people tend to use trade name.
