Preface
There are many books already on the market that address all the purely
technical and mechanical aspects of the piping engineering and design pro-
fession (piping). There is also a long list of codes and standards that form
the "rules" that govern the piping industry. This book is not about these
technical aspects of piping nor is it intended pete with or contradict
any of these fine works. In fact, I have a number of these books in my per-
sonal library. I have found the need to refer to them on a regular basis dur-
ing the course of my work. I also have used many of them as text or
reference material when I teach the various entry levels and intermediate
level design training classes. This book is also not about piping department
management. There is no doubt that department management plex,
and the issues there are very important. Some department issues may even
be similar to issues discussed in this book. However, I will leave any dis-
cussion of the department management area to others.
The focus of this book is the position of the lead, the person who is in
charge of the piping effort on a process plant project. This position and the
responsibilities of this position are not currently covered in any of these
other technical books. This "lead in charge" is the person assigned to a
project and held responsible for the essful execution of all the piping
activities, both technical and nontechnical. This book is intended for the in-
dividual who may be at (or near) the top of the technical ladder and who
will soon e, by choice or circumstance, a supervisor or "lead in
charge" as a project piping lead. It may also assist those who are currently
in this position of project responsibility by validating what they are already
