Clear drawings and step-by-step notes help you understand how gas is produced, purified, and distributed, along with essential safety and maintenance advice.
Readers will gain a practical view of gas-making, from retorts and furnaces to scrubbers and purifiers, plus guidance on meters, regulators, and branch piping. The book also covers how to size pipes for different lighting loads, how to fit joints reliably, and how to manage gas services in buildings.
