Opis

Focuses on design and installation of laboratory gas pipelines, with how to find information needed for design engineers, laboratory managers, and installation technicians to find the specifications they require for the design and installation of laboratory gas systems suitable for their intended use.

Recenzje

 “Long overdue and finally fills a void that has been present in this industry for many decades. It deals with the design and safe installation of different gas systems and is written in plain English suitable for both the novice or expert. Importantly it is written in texbook style where each chapter is complete by itself in dealing with each specific gas and thereby not necessitating that each reader read the entire document. . . . In my personal experience, if a book like this had existed three decades ago, my own work would have been much improved. . . . It is this type of [the author’s] personal knowledge that this book describes that has been gathered over a lifetime career. I cannot recommend this book more highly for those of us that always want the get things perfectly correct.”
—From the Foreword by Professor Klaus Matthaei, PhD, Head (retired), Gene Targeting & Stem Cell Laboratory, The John Curtin School of Medical Research, The Australian National University.
