Dear customer,
Please note that the EI publishing department has moved to a new print supplier for 2021. The option to purchase Hard Copies of our publications has been suspended until the New Year, when we will be making select areas of the catalogue available again. Until then, we will continue to offer PDF versions of our books. Please email pubs@energyinst.org if you have any queries.
Kind regards,
EI Publications
The oil and gas industry has many facilities where there are large numbers of gaskets on flanges and valves within pipework.
