IPT'S METAL TRADES AND WELDING HANDBOOK & MANUAL are revised books published in 2007 to meet the need for more welding information. Journeymen and apprentices in all types of industrial and resource-based industries including fabrication, constructions and in-plant maintenance will find the books to be valuable tools. These books are destined to become required texts for numerous apprenticeship and upgrading programs in technical schools and colleges, and by company and trade union programs. Nearly two hundred pages are devoted to welding and welding related topics. The Rigging, Cranes and Piping sections were also revised and updated.
The newly revised IPT’s Pipe Trades Handbook and Training Manual versions were updated and a few new pages were added. The books are easier to read and the realignment of the charts and tables means there is no more flipping the book around to read data. This realignment is extremely important when using the training manual in the classroom. The rigging section was also reorganized and updated making it much easier to find information.
Still setting the standard for piping handbooks, IPT's PIPE TRADES HANDBOOK and TRANING MANUAL combine all the necessary information in other reference books, plus much more. It includes information on: pipe and tube data; valves; fittings, flanges and gaskets; offsets and calculations; pipe layout (simplified and detailed); piping prints; oxy-acetylene set-up and pipe welding; pipe rigging. The book is excellent for on-the-job reference, and also contains more than enough data for a complete training program.
The “best” is now bigger and better! The book referred to as the best rigging book in North America has been revised cover to cover. All of the existing sections have been reorganized, updated and expanded. Five new sections, and over 100 new pages were added.
The IPT’s Crane and Rigging Handbook and Training Manual are used for reference and/or training in every type of industry and all methods of classroom training in North America. These include technical colleges, trade unions, company programs, Army Corps of Engineers, and CCCO operator exam reference.
