| Summary |
"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"-- Provided by publisher |

James (Jim) Moody has over 40 years of experience working continuously in the field of piped gases, particularly in the healthcare industry andfor industrial, scientific, and university laboratories, whichincludes working as a Project Manager and Design Engineer on multimillion-dollar projects. He was a lecturer at Sydney University, Australia, and worked for various consulting engineering associations, hydraulics engineers associations, and the Chartered Institute of Building Services Engineers. Over the years James has been involved in the design and development of products and equipment associated with the controls and alarms for gas reticulation systems, winning the Australian Design Award for his tourniquet control panel used in operating theaters |
