The Pipe Fitter's and Pipe Welder's Handbook, Revised Edition Revised Edition

In my opinion, you should buy this book, combined with Frankland's other book the "Pipe Trades Pocket Manual", and IPT's "Pipe Trades Handbook". With the three of these books, you should be able to handle about 95% of problems you will encounter in the field. If you want to learn how to make templates for pipe, I would suggest you buy Frankland's Book, "Pipe Template Layout" along with Rick Eisenbarth's book, "The Ultimate Template and Layout Pattern Book for Pipefitters and Welders".Back to this book. The information is presented very clearly. It also provides valuable tricks of the trade that will save you time and money.

Best quick reference guide for pipe fitting and fabrication I've ever used.

A great reference for the Have looked at others and find this to be the best of the bunch.tradesman. Got my first one forty some odd years ago as an apprentice. Finally wore it out and had to replace it. Pleased to see it still in print. Have looked at others, but think this one is the best.

Booklet arrived in perfect condition 👌. A Very useful tool for pipefitters and plumbers.

i colect this book

Great study guide for the Masters' exam.

Get ready to go back to school. This book has more knowledge in it that three years of high school math

IF you are a pipe fitter, this is a must have. MUST BE GOOD AT MATH to understand how to use, but if you are, this book is awesome. You can make almost anything you can think off.

Bought as a present for a pipe fitting apprentice, it will definitely help him as it helped me when I first started out.

As to the previous edition a lot of information on valves is no longer in this edition.

Perfect.... just what I wanted.

This was bought as a present for my son who is a welder. I had one a few years ago when I worked in the oilfieds and found it invaluable.

Has a few useful things like pipe layout if you dont already know how to do it. Its a basic book i guess, nothing really jumped out at me that other books dont have. One thing that did bug me is the way that do some formulas like finding the area of a circle. Ive always done Radius (squared) X 3.14. In the book they do Diameter X Diameter X 0.7854, it works out the some but i thought it was just an odd way of doing it. Few other things like that too. If it was closer to $20 itd maybe give it 4 stars but just not enough info. Best book i have thought is the IPT pipefitter handbook
