Metric Piping System Fundamentals Book Now Available

Lacey, WA, October 31, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Engineered Software, Inc., creator of PIPE-FLO Professional design software has announced the release of the metric edition of the book, Piping System Fundamentals: The Complete Guide to Gaining a Clear Picture of Your Piping System. The book was written by author and trainer Ray T. Hardee, P.E., and is a guide book for understanding basic design principles in piping systems.

Formally only available in U.S. units, the comprehensive guide is now available in a metric edition. The Piping System Fundamentals Metric Edition covers all the same topics covered in the original U.S. Edition but has all conversions done for the reader. The book is 160 pages, has more than 140 images and a newly expanded index. A preview of the U.S. version is available online.

“We are excited to have a metric version of this book because of the growing interest for this book and the accompanying training in international locations,” said Ray Hardee, P.E. and Chief Engineer at Engineered Software, Inc. “The book was intentionally written in a conversational style in order to encourage understanding and comprehension. I didn’t want this to be too technical of a document that no one could actually read, but I also knew the information might be critical for people designing and maintaining piping systems and so, needed to be precise.”

The book is designed for professionals from a wide range of audiences, including beginning engineers as well as mechanics, operators, sales representatives, consulting engineers, and designers needing an overview or refresher on the operation of fluid piping systems. All case studies have been converted to metric as well. The text includes a free software CD to perform calculations and design systems found in the book.
