Description

ASME has been defining piping safety since 1922.

ASME B31.3 contains requirements for piping typically found in petroleum refineries; chemical, pharmaceutical, textile, paper, semiconductor, and cryogenic plants; and related processing plants and terminals.  It covers materials and components, design, fabrication, assembly, erection, examination, inspection, and testing of piping.

This Code applies to piping for all fluids including: (1) raw, intermediate, and finished chemicals; (2) petroleum products; (3) gas, steam, air and water; (4) fluidized solids; (5) refrigerants; and (6) cryogenic fluids.  Also included is piping which interconnects pieces or stages within a packaged equipment assembly.

Key changes to this revision include updating Table A-1 Basic Allowable Stresses in Tension for Metals in its entirety, adding Table A-1M Basic Allowable Stresses in Tension for Metals in metric units, adding Table A-2M Design Stress Values for Bolting Materials in metric units, adding metric units to Appendix H Sample Calculations for Branch Reinforcement, and adding a new Appendix N on Application of ASME B31.3 Internationally.

B31.3 is one of ASME’s most popular codes, widely adopted by jurisdictions worldwide.  It serves as a companion to ASME’s B31.1 Code on Power Piping as well as to the other codes in ASME’s B31 series.  Together, they remain essential references for anyone engaged with piping. 

Careful application of these B31 codes will help users to comply with applicable regulations within their jurisdictions, while achieving the operational, cost and safety benefits to be gained from the many industry best-practices detailed within these volumes.

Intended for manufacturers, users, constructors, designers, and others concerned with the design, fabrication, assembly, erection, examination, inspection, and testing of piping, plus all potential governing entities.

Normas Técnicas DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung ) para Fabricação de Parafusos, Porcas e Arruelas

Normas Técnicas DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung ) para Fabricação de Parafusos,Porcas e Arruelas

Parafusos são elementos de fixação, empregados na união não permanente de peças, isto é, as peças podem ser montadas e desmontadas facilmente, bastando apertar e desapertar os parafusos que as mantêm unidas. Os parafusos se diferenciam pela forma da rosca, da cabeça, da haste e do tipo de acionamento. Essas diferenças, determinadas pela função dos parafusos, permite classificá-los em quatro grandes grupos: parafusos passantes, parafusos não-passantes, parafusos de pressão, parafusos prisioneiros. Assim, cada norma é referente a um tipo especifico de parafuso.

Abaixo listamos o Conjunto de Manuais da DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung ) sobre parafusos que você pode comprar na Technos Publicações.

Author Information

Dr. Farid Golnaraghi is a professor and the Director of Mechatronic Systems Engineering at the Simon Fraser University in Vancouver since 2006. He also holds a Burnaby Mountain endowed Chair at SFU, and his primary research focus is on Intelligent Vehicle Systems. Prior to joining SFU, he was a professor of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering at the University of Waterloo. His pioneering research has resulted in two textbooks, more than a hundred and fifty journal and Conference papers, four patents and two start-up companies.

Dr. Benjamin C. Kuo is professor emeritus, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and has received many awards on his theoretical and applied research on control systems. He has written numerous papers and has authored more than 10 books on control systems. He has consulted extensively in industry.

New To This Edition   

Upgraded ACSYS software– the unique graphical interface of ACSYS enables students to apply MATLAB to control problems more intuitively.  This means they spend less time programming and more time applying concepts and evaluating results. 

- SIMLab and Virtual Lab applications – enable students to work on realistic problems and conduct speed and position control labs in a software environment. 

SIMLab enables students to see system parameters and alter them (as in any simulation).  This lets them observe concepts in action and practice with “what-if” scenarios of their own.

Virtual Lab introduces a black-box approach, where the students have no access to the plant parameters and have to use some sort of system identification technique to find them. In Virtual Lab, students have a realistic experience of the types of problems they would encounter in a real speed- or position-control lab, for example, amplifier saturation, noise, and nonlinearity.

•     Additional MATLAB toolboxes and case studies in almost every chapter
•     A sample section-by-section one-semester syllabus is given in the Instructor’s Manual on the Instructors BCS. The manual also contains detailed solutions to all the problems in the book.
