When I started the Pressure Vessel Design Manual 35 years ago, I had no idea where it would lead. The first edition alone took 10 years to publish. It began when I first started working for a small vessel shop in Los Angeles in 1972. I could not believe how little information was available to engineers and designers in our industry at that time. I began collecting and researching everything I could get my hands on. As I collected more and more, I began writing procedures around various topics. After a while I had a pretty substantial collection and someone suggested that it might make a good book.
-
-
However I was constantly revising them and didn't think any of them were complete enough to publish. After a while I began trying to perfect them so that they could be published. This is the point at which the effort changed from a hobby to a vocation. My goal was to provide as complete a collection of equations, data and procedures for the design of pressure vessels that I could assemble. I never thought of myself as an author in this regard... but only the editor. I was not developing equations or methods, but only collecting and collating them. The presentation of the materials was then, and still is, the focus of my efforts. As stated all along "The author makes no claim to originality, other than that of format."
-
-
My target audience was always the person in the shop who was ultimately responsible for the designs they manufactured. I have seen all my goals for the PVDM exceeded in every way possible. Through my work with Fluor, I have had the opportunity to travel to 40 countries and have visited 60 vessel shops. In the past 10 years, I have not visited a shop that was not using the PVDM. This has been my reward. This book is now, and always has been, dedicated to the end user. Thank you.
-
-
The PVDM is a "designers" manual foremost, and not an engineering textbook. The procedures are streamlined to provide a weight, size or thickness. For the most part, wherever possible, it avoids the derivation of equations or the theoretical background. I have always sought out the simplest and most direct solutions.
-
-
If I have an interest in seeing this book continuing, then it must be done under the direction of a new, younger and very talented person.
-
-
Finally, I would like to offer my warmest, heartfelt thanks to all of you that have made comments, contributions, sent me literature, or encouraged me over the past 35 years. It is immensely rewarding to have watched the book evolve over the years. This book would not have been possible without you!
