Pressure Vessel Design Manual
When I started the Pressure Vessel Design Manual 35 years ago, I had no idea where it would lead. The first edition alone took 10 years to publish. It began when I first started working for a small vessel shop in Los Angeles in 1972. I could not believe how little information was available to engineers and designers in our industry at that time. I began collecting and researching everything I could get my hands on.
As I collected more and more, I began writing procedures around various topics. After a while I had a pretty substantial collection and someone suggested that it might make a good book. However I was constantly revising them and didn’t think any of them were complete enough to publish. After a while I began trying to perfect them so that they could be published.
This is the point at which the effort changed from a hobby to a vocation. My goal was to provide as complete a collection of equations, data and procedures for the design of pressure vessels that I could assemble. I never thought of myself as an author in this regard. but only the editor.

I was not developing equations or methods, but only collecting and collating them. The presentation of the materials was then, and still is, the focus of my efforts. As stated all along “The author makes no claim to originality, other than that of format.”
