Though the world has seen a great deal of change in industry and science over the last two decades, the growth of new technologies, and the rise of new industries, the most important information for engineers has not changed. There is still an intense need for an easy reference for anyone working with materials and chemicals. That is one of the aims of this book.
There is a second, equally important, reason for this work, namely, to offer a useful contribution to the industrial health and safety literature, for which there is also still an intense, or growing, need. Even with all we have learned, there are still explosions, chemical spills, and other incidents that could have been avoided by following basic standards. Our hope, with this book, is to prevent such accidents by providing the engineer with the information necessary for a safer, incident-free environment.
This book is intended as a general reference of useful information for engineers, technologists and students. It is a compilation of general data that have been collected over the years and serves as a quick reference for information that can be consulted for general properties values of materials, chemicals and safety measures when handling industrial chemicals.
The book provides short discussions that are introductory notes and then provides data in the form of tables. There are five chapters that cover the subjects of corrosion, material properties and selection information, properties of various liquids, gases and fuels, properties of hydrocarbons and fuel properties, guidelines on fire protection, and chemical safety data.
To get maximum use of the book the user should first refer to the List of Tables at the beginning of the volume to find the topical areas of interest.
