Many operating refineries and chemical plants built between 1970 and 2010 were designed using T&C catalogs. When retrofitting or repairing these legacy systems, matching exact historical material specifications is critical.
: Weights, thickness, and tolerances for pipes, flanges, and fittings.
Piping standards (ASME, ASTM) are updated periodically. Always check if the PDF version you are using aligns with the latest industrial codes.
Many websites offering "free PDF downloads" of rare technical manuals bundle files with malware or require suspicious browser extensions.
Couplings, elbows, tees, unions, and plugs.
: Detailed specifications from Class 150 up to Class 2500 (ASME B16.5) and large-diameter flanges (ASME B16.47 Series A and B).
Technical drawings and applications for Raised Face (RF), Flat Face (FF), and Ring Type Joint (RTJ) connections.
The , often referred to by industry professionals as the "T&C Blue Book" or "Piping Bible," has served as a foundational technical reference for the energy and construction sectors for decades. Originally published in 1973, it became an essential encyclopedia for engineers, providing comprehensive data on pipes, valves, fittings, and specialty materials. A Legacy of Technical Expertise
: Cast and forged steel valves designed to API 600, API 602, and BS standards.
Because computers are only as good as the input data. A junior engineer who relies entirely on CAESAR II without understanding why a flange fails at 300°C is dangerous. The Trouvay & Cauvin handbook forces the reader to understand the fundamentals .
: Detailed specifications for welding fittings, forged steel fittings, and various flange types (welding neck, slip-on, socket weld, and blind flanges).
This section contains dimensional data for seamless and welded carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel pipes.
