Beschreibung
A handy desk reference for the engineer, chemist,or anyone working with materials and chemicals
There have been many volumes written that claim to be the most "comprehensive" compendium or handbook on chemical data. These wieldy volumes are often too big and extraneous to be useful to the practicing engineer. This new volume aims to be the most useful "go to" volume for the working engineer, scientist, or chemist who needs quick answers to daily questions about materials or chemicals and doesn't want to go on long searches through voluminous tomes or lengthy internet searches. Covering only the most commonly used chemicals in the most important processes in industry, A Guide to Safe Material and Chemical Handling includes industrial chemicals, such as gases, fuels, and water, which are not incorporated in most "comprehensive" books on materials and chemical properties. Safety plans and procedures that can be implemented by any engineer or plant manager by following the easy, step-by-step instructions in the book are also provided.
A Guide to Safe Material and Chemical Handling:
Assembles useful engineering and properties data on materials of selection for process equipment, and the chemical properties, including toxicity of industrial solvents and chemicals
Outlines the safe handling of chemicals and provides guidance on material selection, fire protection, and corrosion
Contains tables covering the gamut of important materials, fuels, gases, liquids, and hydrocarbons and details the material strength, corrosion resistance, properties of fuels, gases, various solvents, and hydrocarbons, as well as fire and chemical reactivity information
A Guide to Safe Material and Chemical Handling covers the most up-to-date information and safety guidelines, and provides reference guides showing you, step-by-step, how to handle chemicals and other important processes, such as fire drills, writing and implementing evacuation plans, and first responses to emergencies. With so many accidents still occurring in industry today and so many hazards, this volume pinpoints the most common and easiest ways for the engineer to go about daily business safely, efficiently, and profitably, with no extraneous tables or theoretical treatises. A must have for any engineer, scientist, or chemist working with industrial chemicals.
Viele Autoren behaupten von sich, das ?vollständigste? Tabellenwerk chemischer Materialkenndaten verfasst zu haben. Was vorgelegt wird, sind aber oft äußerst umfangreiche Bände, die für den praktisch tätigen Ingenieur an falscher Stelle allzu sehr ins Detail gehen. Hier kommt endlich ein wirklich handliches Buch für jeden Ingenieur, Chemiker oder Naturwissenschaftler verwandter Disziplinen, der schnell Antwort auf alltägliche Fragen braucht, ohne Enzyklopädien durchsuchen oder das Internet durchforsten zu wollen! Aufgenommen wurden ausschließlich die gängigsten Substanzen, die regelmäßig in industriellen Verfahren zum Einsatz kommen (wie Gase, Brennstoffe, Wasser), aber in den ?vollständigen? Tabellenwerken gewöhnlich fehlen. Nützliche Zugabe: schrittweise abzuarbeitende Sicherheitspläne und -schemata, die Ingenieure und Anlagenfahrer problemlos auf die eigenen Prozesse zuschneiden können.
