"Pressure Systems Casebook" contains a collection of papers drawn
from two IMechE seminars that will be of particular interest to
students and engineers who want to broaden their knowledge and
learn from experience and history.
The authors' backgrounds cover a range of perspectives, from
representing industrial users of pressure systems to regulators,
research, and engineering consultants.

Pressure systems contain stored energy and the threat of
damaging failure is ever present. Failures of pressure systems
still occur and are costly to those affected; yet the main causes,
consequences, and methods of investigation are not widely known.
Pre-existing defects are a major cause of failures and
near-failures in pressure systems, yet many can be avoided by
greater awareness of the circumstances in which they arise.
