Design and Construction of Laboratory Gas Pipelines A Practical Reference for Engineers and Professionals

Design and Construction of Laboratory Gas Pipelines A Practical Reference for Engineers and Professionals

This new volume Design and Construction of Laboratory Gas Pipelines: A Practical Reference for Engineers and Professionals focuses on design and installation of laboratory gas pipelines. It instructs design engineers laboratory managers and installation technicians on how to source the information and specifications they require for the design and installation of laboratory gas systems suitable for their intended use. The current use of specifications predominantly taken from medical gas standards for this type of work is not always suitable; these standards are for use with medical grade gases that have a purity level of 99. 5%. The purity levels required in laboratories however start at 99. 9% for general industrial use through to 99. 9995% (Ultra High Purity (UHP)) and higher. Regular medical gas standards are also unsuitable for use with the oxidizing flammable and in some instances toxic gases that are regularly encountered in laboratories. As need for gas purity increases the methodology used to design a piping system must vary to meet those parameters and this reference provides the necessary information and resources. There are no comprehensive single sources of technical references currently available in this market states the author and the generally supplied specifications provided to the construction industry are usually generic and not specifically targeted for the gases in use. The results provide extremely poor quality designs and in some instances unusable systems. With over 40 years of specialization in the industry from project management to systems design testing and commissioning of projects with values in excess of $15 million the author comprehensively fills that gap with this rich resource. Key features• provides information on types of laboratories that use laboratory gases and the equipment needed• explains the various methods of construction and the materials used to ensure that the purity of the gases remains as supplied from the manufacturers• incorporates the design methodology used to meet the various requirements of the laboratory and the information required to ensure that the correct engineering is provided• presents information on the purity levels of the gases and the data on the equipment used for pipelines and compatibility issues• presents an example of a simple laboratory gas specification that provides guidelines on the information necessary to provide a set of design documents | Design and Construction of Laboratory Gas Pipelines A Practical Reference for Engineers and Professionals

Conservation Tourism and Identity of Contemporary Community Art A Case Study of Felipe Seade’s Mural Allegory to Work”

Conservation Tourism and Identity of Contemporary Community Art A Case Study of Felipe Seade’s Mural Allegory to Work”

This unique volume aims to promote new models of sustainable management in the field of contemporary mural art. Cultural heritage has become an essential tool for society stressing the necessity to properly conserve cultural resources in order to maintain a socially economically and environmentally sustainable development. In this book the mural Allegory to Work by the artist Felipe Seade located in Uruguay is used as a case study. The work of Felipe Seade a prominent political mural artist of the twentieth century reflects the influence of Mexican heritage and the socio-political themes of that time which were commonly used by the Social Realism art movement. The authors look at the mural—and its restoration—through the lens of tourism globalization and new interest in cultural heritage. The book demonstrates that the restoration should be aware that the perspective of the protagonists must be incorporated in the intervention process. This first-of-its-kind volume brings together historical ethnographic tourism and scientific research that leads to a sustainable project from the point of view of identity economy politics and society. This volume with over 50 color illustrations and many black and white photos will be valuable for college and research libraries undergraduate and graduate students researchers and professors in the field of cultural heritage and art as well as those involved in community-based research. | Conservation Tourism and Identity of Contemporary Community Art A Case Study of Felipe Seade’s Mural Allegory to Work”
