The author surveys one hundred and fifty companies describing machining processes that are revolutionising the industry looking at advanced methods such as trepanning, shearforming, industrial parts cleaning, hot isostatic pressing, magneforming titanium nitride coating and deburring.

This completely updated 12th Edition of the Pressure Vessel Handbook reflects all the latest revisions, additions, and deletions of the 2001 ASME Codes, standards and information. The purpose of this handbook is to make formulas, technical data, design and construction methods reality available for all those dealing with pressure vessels. Practicing engineers often have difficulty finding he required data and solutions as they are scattered throughout the literature. The author brings all the relevant information together in this one convenient, authoritative source. The handbook deals with only vessels constructed from ferrous materials by welding. Some of the rarely occurring loading and special construction methods have also been excluded from the scope of the handbook.
