Sotoodeh K. Pipeline Valve Technology. A Practical Guide 2023

Textbook in PDF format

There are valves everywhere, including in your home’s plumbing. In order to drink water in the kitchen, we must open a valve. The same is true to operate offshore pipe lines. The most significant valves in offshore pipelines are discussed in this book. If these valves fail, oil and gas will not be able to be transported to customers and the society will be left without enough energy for heating, cooking, and transportation. A reader can be knowledgeable about the most critical valves on the offshore plat form, including their design aspects, material selection, failure prevention mecha nisms, and environmental protection measures. Pipeline valves are discussed in this book in terms of design, production, testing, coating, preservation, packing, lifting, transportation, and safety considerations.
