The e-book+ version of the book, Pipeline Valve Technology,
complements the other versions of the book. The e-book+ version
provides the user with additional questions and answers at the end of
each chapter to gauge and enhance the user’s understanding. The book
covers the life cycle of pipeline valves, the largest and most
essential valves in offshore pipeline engineering. Discussing the
design process, testing, production, transportation, installation, and
maintenance, the book also covers the risk analysis required to assess
the reliability of these valves. Pipeline valves require particular
attention to ensure they are safely designed, installed, and
maintained, due to the high stakes. Failure would result in
environmental pollution, the destruction of expensive assets, and
potential loss of life. Proper installation and upkeep require
specialist processes throughout the life cycle of the valve. This book
is a key guide to these processes. Beginning by looking at the design
of pipeline valves, this book details how conserving weight and space
is prioritized, how materials are chosen, how thickness is calculated,
and how leakage is minimized. It then discusses production and
specific welding techniques to bond dissimilar materials, alongside
casting and machining. Building on other discussions in the text with
case studies and questions and answers for self-study, this book is
the ideal guide to pipeline valves. This book will be of interest to
professionals in the industries of offshore oil and gas, material
engineering, coatings, mechanical engineering, and piping. It will
also be relevant to students studying coating and welding, or
mechanical, piping, or petroleum engineering.
