This new work uses some of the most tried and true information, charts, and tables found in Industrial Press's seminal resource, the Pipefitters Handbook, but has reorganized, redrawn, updated and modernized them to be more appropriate and in-line for modern day users. Questions at the end of each chapter help readers learn and understand the most essential material and are similar to those found on a typical pipefitting certification exam. Useful Appendix materials include more reference data, answers to the exam questions, math and conversion factors, and specific tables and charts for pipe, water, and metal. Packed with all these extensive, educational features, the Modern Pipefitter's Manual is an unparalleled resource for pipefitters at all levels of experience. Features
