Since the 2nd edition of the Handbook of Pipeline Construction, Volume II, which covers the calculation of pipelines, has received very positive feedback in professional circles and is nearly sold out, a new edition was necessary. The 3rd edition has been expanded to include a chapter on simple static calculations and a chapter on vibration damping. All other chapters have been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect the current state of technology. Significant changes in national and international regulations have been taken into account.
