Informationen zum Autor W. M. Banks and David Nash are the authors of Pressure Equipment Technology: Theory and Practice, published by Wiley. Klappentext Papers brought together on the occasion of the retirement of Professor John Spence and presented at a colloquium held in his honour at the University of Strathclyde, May 1-2, 2003. Zusammenfassung The safe design and operation of pressure equipment and pressure systems is key to much of the infrastructure in any present day industrial society. This book presents an amalgam of best practice from a range of international specialists! as well as highlighting different areas that require research and development.
