Before diving into the chapters, it is critical to understand the author’s pedigree. Roger Hunt is not an academic tucked away in a laboratory; he is a veteran of the trenches. With decades of experience in heavy industrial sectors—including oil & gas, petrochemicals, power generation, and water treatment—Hunt built a reputation for solving practical problems.
Under Hunt’s guidance, the handbook expanded to include:
During the FEED (Front End Engineering Design) phase, you do not need millimeter-perfect accuracy. You need speed. Hunt’s charts allow a senior engineer to route a 24" line in 10 minutes that will be 95% correct, saving the company hundreds of hours of rework later.
The handbook's utility lies in its solved problems. For instance:
