Foreword

The first edition of the Drilling Data Handbook was published in 1950.

Over the more than six following decades the book has been constantly improved, adding lots of new technologies and equipment over the course of its eight updated editions.

But its key principle is to remain familiar and friendly to users.

Its philosophy has always been to give quick access to the basic information or calculations for the office or field operations. That is why our primary goal is to select and highlight the most important data, charts and formulas. The Drilling Data Handbook combines international and field units for the benefit of a majority of industry professionals from different technical cultures.

The success of past editions, along with the continued demand for updated information, have encouraged us to publish this new paper edition. A large number of field personnel have confirmed that they do use the Drilling Data Handbook as their primary reference, now in combination with electronic documents and the internet. This edition refreshes and updates data and references from the eighth edition, and also provides even more information.

We hope that you will enjoy the ninth edition, our finest ever.

PRESS REVIEWS

- "This is a small, strongly-bound, user-friendly compendium packed with useful information for those involved in drilling. The paging is notched and externally labelled alphabetically to allow quick access. It represents a big advance on the previous edition"(AMF Alert, April 2000)
- "Useful information which might not be easily available on all rigs includes data on mechanical properties of large diameter pipes (risers and conductors), rig hoisting equipment, drilling turbines, positive displacement mud motors and hydraulic pressure drop calculations. There are useful tables comparing cement additives from various vendors. Comprehensive tables on hubs, flanges and BOP (blow out preventer) operating parameters are also included. (...) Overall, this useful book is aimed at operations using SI units. It is less useful for operations using Imperial (Oilfield) units, though extensive conversion factors are given.(International Mining & Minerals, volume 2, n°22, October 1999)v
- "La nuova edizione del Drilling Data Handbook era necessaria per riflettere i cambiamenti che vi sono stati nelle tecniche di perforazione nel corso degli ultimi dieci anni. Nuove specifiche e raccomandazioni sono state pubblicate dall'American Petroleum Institute. Inoltre, i produttori hanno anche migliorato i loro prodotti. In particolare sono stati fatti notevoli progressi nei seguenti campi;
- gli spostamenti orizzontali hanno raggiunto distanze fino a 10 km nella perforazione direzionale e orizzontale, con l'utilizzo di apparecchiature di perforazione più complesse;
- unità del tipo "coiled" vengono utilizzate sistematicamente, occasionalmente anche nella foratura;
- sono stati modificati i valori degli Used Bit Dull Gradin System Format and Codes dell'IADC;
- sono comparsi nuove dimensioni e pesi (foratura HP-HT);
- gli equipaggiamenti di controllo sono stati modificati per tenere conto delle necessità della foratura off-shore.
Il libro mantiene il suo tipico formato paperback con copertina plastificata flessibile, di pratico utilizzo"
(Il Progettista Industriale, Ottobre 1999)

Overview

Aims and Scope

Glass shapes architecture, offering architects scope for playing with the relationship between “inside and outside” and how people relate to space and nature. It influences interior light and warmth, offering special spatial atmospheres and views. Glass needs other materials to hold, carry and support it, so using it requires an integrative approach involving various disciplines. Good glass architecture is the result of a successful interaction between design, technology, construction and implementation. Depending on its composition, glass appears transparent or translucent, coloured or clear.

Best of Detail: Glass combines highlights from DETAIL and DETAIL green on the topic of glass, transparency and translucence. Starting with fundamental questions, the book offers a theoretical basis, details on many practically implemented projects, and plenty of inspiration and examples of successful structural solutions.

Overview

- Examples of general features of glassy materials
- Theoretical and experimental how the glass
-forming process effects the glass properties
- Highly important classes of glass-forming systems and how their treatment leads to desired properties

Aims and Scope

This work demonstrates how general features of glasses and glass transition are exemplified in different classes of glass-forming systems, such as silicate glasses, metallic glasses and polymers. In addition, the wide field of phase formation processes and their effect on glasses and their properties is studied both from theoretical and experimental points of view.

For these purposes, overviews on technologically highly important classes of glass-forming systems are presented, their technological treatment allowing one to reach the desired properties, theoretical approaches in the description of structure-property relations and new concepts in the theoretical treatment of crystallization of glass-forming systems.

For easy reference, included is a search engine, reference materials list, test equipment suppliers, a supplier directory, safety sources, test laboratories and research facilities.

It also includes hundreds of Technical Information Papers (TIPs) on papermaking, pulping, engineering, and corrugated containers topics. This specialized information includes technical data, calculations, resource information, recommended practices, glossaries, guidelines, and bibliographies for use in the manufacture of paper and related products. This revised collection is essential for every mill, converting plant, research institution, and technical center in the pulp, paper, and corrugated containers industry.

As an added benefit, the CD now contains Useful Methods (UMs). These methods describe tests, procedures, or practices written in the same general style as a TAPPI Standard Test Method, but with minimum precision requirement. UMs do not receive the same review through a consensus process, and thus are not Standards, but are used often in the industry as quick plant floor methods..

The CD-ROM includes numerical and subject indexes.

Standards, TIPs and UMs CD-ROM is an individually licensed product and access is restricted to one user. It is a copyright violation to share information beyond the primary user.

Long one of the most widely respected texts in its field,Constitutional Lawexamines those provisions that govern the day-to-day work of criminal justice personnel while protecting the rights of whom they serve. Many professionals depend on some knowledge of the law to properly do their job and avoid civil liability charges. However, the Constitution is complex and often difficult to decipher. This book dispels any such difficulty using a modular approach and reader-friendly prose to first breakdown the major principles of constitutional argument, and then explain how they are commonly applied in specific scenarios. Special attention is paid to the way individual rights are safeguarded by the Fourth and Fifth Amendments, the limits on police authority, and the requirements of Due Process.

The IMDG Code has undergone many changes over the years, in both formats and content, in order to keep up with the rapid expansion of the shipping industry. Amendment 36-12 includes revisions to various sections of the Code and to transport requirements for specific substances. It was adopted by IMO's Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) at its 90th session in May 2012.

The MSC had previously agreed that the Code as it was adopted in 2002 would be mandatory as from 1 January 2004. The Code as amended by Amendment 36-12 is mandatory as from 1 January 2014 but may be applied by administrations in whole or in part on a voluntary basis from 1 January 2013.


The Code lays down basic principles: detailed recommendations for individual substances, materials and articles, and a number of recommendations for good operational practice, including advice on terminology, packing, labelling, stowage, segregation and handling, and emergency response action.

The two-volume Code is divided into seven parts:


Volume 1 (parts 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the Code) contains sections on:

- general provisions, definitions, training
- classification- packing and tank provisions
- consignment procedures
- construction and testing of packagings, IBCs, large packagings, portable tanks, MEGCs and road tank vehicles
- transport operations.


Volume 2 contains part 3 (Dangerous Goods List, special provisions and exceptions), appendix A (generic and N.O.S. Proper Shipping Names), appendix B (Glossary of terms) and an index.

Recognized by airlines worldwide, the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) is THE industry standard for shipping dangerous goods by air. It is the most complete, up-to-date and user-friendly reference manual trusted by the industry for over 50 years.

Maintaining compliance with the latest regulations is critical for safely shipping dangerous goods by air.

The DGR includes international dangerous goods air regulations, as well as state and airline requirements. It is an invaluable resource in ensuring you have all the information you need to ship safely and in compliance, at your fingertips.

55th edition of DGR: what’s new?

The new edition of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR), which became available early October 2013, will take effect 1 January 2014. This edition of the DGR will reflects the changes adopted through addenda to the 2013 – 2014 edition of the ICAO Technical Instructions, as well as changes agreed by the IATA Dangerous Goods Board (DGB).

Lithium batteries

This edition of the DGR incorporates a requirement for certain lithium battery shipments, which had previously been allowed to just be described on the air waybill, to have to be accompanied by a Shipper’s Declaration for Dangerous Goods. This change applies to lithium ion and lithium metal batteries, such as the type used in consumer electronic devices, shipped under the provisions of Section IB of the applicable packing instruction.
To ease the change for shippers of these batteries, the DGB agreed to a 3-month transition period until the end of March 2014 for shippers to implement this change. IATA published the guidance document on lithium batteries (pdf) to comply with the regulations that come into effect 1 Jan 2014

Get ready for ICAO regulatory changes

Other content in the 55th Edition is a specific appendix that identifies the changes to the Regulations that will become effective 1 January 2015 with the publication of the 2015 – 2016 edition of the ICAO Technical Instructions. This appendix is produced in an effort to provide shippers, operators and others in the supply chain with advance information that will allow them to be better prepared for the new requirements in 2015.
