First, my view is the view of a learner and not an expert's.


To the extent I know, Sam Kanappan's original book had two volumes and I never got a chance to read the second one.Regarding the first one, my view is that it is an average book and certainly not in the class of Piping and pipe support systems by Thomas J Van Laan , Piping and Pipeline engineering by George Antaki or Process Piping by Charles Becht.
