Pipe Association Handbook Details PVC
At 600 pages, the Handbook of PVC Pipe Design and Construction is extraordinarily comprehensive. Written by the Uni-Bell PVC Pipe Association (www.uni-bell.org), it was prepared with the objective of being the most comprehensive reference text on PVC pipe and fittings.
For the engineer, the Handbook of PVC Pipe Design and Construction provides practical engineering and construction information. It also delivers recommendations for the design and use of underground PVC piping systems in both pressure and non-pressure applications. The handbook is in broad use by engineers across North America. The utility and consulting engineering sectors as well as in universities and technical institutions are prime users.
Following a Preface, the handbook offers 15 chapters followed by a comprehensive index (click the TOC button, above, to view).
