About the GPSA Engineering Data Book

The GPSA Engineering Data Book was first published in 1935 as a small booklet containing much advertising and little technical information. Nearly 80 years and several editions later, the book has grown into nearly 1,000 pages of technical information and no advertising, becoming the worldwide authoritative resource for technical and design information pertaining to the gas processing industry and its approved practices and procedures. The book has also found wide acceptance among the petroleum refining, gas transmission and petrochemical industries.

Overview

The Data Book assembles, in a single compilation, basic design information together with data and procedures that can be used by field and plant engineers to determine operating and design parameters. It is also intended as an aid to design engineers who, in spite of increasing availability of computer routines and other sophisticated design methods, require a general reference work as a guide to accepted engineering practice for estimating, feasibility studies, preliminary design and for making on-site operating decisions.
