They are used extensively in the process industries, especially petrochemical. Though there are only four basic types of valves, there is an enormous number of different kinds of valves within each category, each one used for a specific purpose. No other book on the market analyzes the use, construction, and selection of valves in such a comprehensive manner. -Covers new environmentally-conscious equipment and practices, the most important hot-button issue in the petrochemical industry today -Details new generations of valves for offshore projects, the oil industry's fastest-growing segment -Includes numerous new products that have never before been written about in the mainstream literatureElectronic reproduction.Amsterdam :Elsevier Science & Technology,2007.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Web browser.Title from title screen (viewed on Aug. 2, 2007).Access may be restricted to users at subscribing institutionsValvesHandbooks, manuals, etc.Robinetterie (Appareils)Guides, manuels, etc.Electronic books.localSmith, Peterauthorhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut41392Original07506771719780750677172(DLC) 2004557509(OCoLC)56567866Referexhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780750677172An electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for informationTable of contentshttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/els051/2004557509.htmlPublisher descriptionhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/els051/2004557509.html.b1365210203-03-2224-01-08991003229409707536Valve selection handbook1463921UNISALENTOle02624-01-08m@ -engne 00
