Synopsis

This text provides students with the basic skills they need to begin a successful career in industrial drafting and design. It also instructs them in the use of AutoCAD and PRO-PIPE, an up-to-date and widely used pipe-drafting software. The book presents step-by-step instructions that walk the student through the creation of piping symbols for fittings, flanges, valves and mechanical equipment. More than 100 illustrations and photographs provide examples and visual instructions to the student. A feature of the book is the systematic arrangement of drawings that begins with renderings of the structural foundations of a facility and continues through to the development of a 3-D model. The 3-D model images provide students an uncommon opportunity to visualize an entire piping facility. Advanced chapters provide specific details on the use of third-party software to create bills of material, elevation and section drawings, isometrics and 3-D models, and also give students an opportunity to customize AutoCAD using commond aliases, defun statements, and AutoLISP routines. Each chapter concludes with helpful exercises and questions for review and practice.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Pipe designers and drafters provide thousands of piping drawings used in the layout of industrial and other facilities. The layouts must comply with safety codes, government standards, client specifications, budget, and start-up date. Pipe Drafting and Design, Second Edition provides step-by-step instructions to walk pipe designers and drafters and students in Engineering Design Graphics and Engineering Technology through the creation of piping arrangement and isometric drawings using symbols for fittings, flanges, valves, and mechanical equipment. The book is appropriate primarily for pipe design in the petrochemical industry.

More than 350 illustrations and photographs provide examples and visual instructions. A unique feature is the systematic arrangement of drawings that begins with the layout of the structural foundations of a facility and continues through to the development of a 3-D model. Advanced chapters discuss the customization of AutoCAD, AutoLISP and details on the use of third-party software to create 3-D models from which elevation, section and isometric drawings are extracted including bills of material.

Covers drafting and design fundamentals to detailed advice on the development of piping drawings using manual and AutoCAD techniques
