About the Engineering Data
Book
The
12th Edition of the GPSA Engineering Data Book
is on sale on the GPSA website at http://gpsa.gasprocessors.com
or by calling Judy London at the GPSA office at

All
12th Edition sections of the book were updated
in general. The new edition has many important
changes some of which are outlined below:
Complete
rewrite of Section 3 (Measurement); Section 7
(Separators) and 13 (Compression) were completely
redrafted; Section 15 (Prime Movers) tables were
updated; Section 18 (Utilities) is a completely
new section made up of steam systems, heat medium
systems, instrument and plant air systems, fuel
systems, water treating systems, and electrical;
Section 20 (Dehydration) and Section 21 (Treating)
were re-written; Section 23 (Physical Properties)
Table 23-2 was re-written by NIST; and Section
24 (Thermodynamic Properties) P-H diagrams were
redrawn by Virtual Materials Group to the 11 x17
size.
The
GPSA Engineering Data Book was first published
in 1935 as
a booklet containing much advertising and little
technical information. In subsequent editions,
technical data expanded and the Data Book gradually
became the design and operating "bible"
for the gas processing and related industries.
Approximately 260,000 copies of this authoritative
publication have been distributed by GPSA. The
book has been compiled by a joint editorial committee
composed of technical specialists from both GPSA
and GPA. This committee known as the GPSA Editorial
Review Board continually reviews and revises the
manual. Periodic revisions are issued to holders
of record to keep the manual up to date with technology
and industry practices.
The
Gas Processors Supplier Association (GPSA) was
formed in 1928 as the Natural Gasoline Supply
Men’s Association (NGSMA). Its principal
purpose was a service organization to the parent
Natural Gasoline Association of America (NGAA).
Both organizations underwent name changes in subsequent
years in response to changing industry conditions.
In 1961, the organizations became known as the
Natural Gas Processors Association (NGPA) and
the Natural Gas Processors Suppliers Association
(NGPSA). In 1974 the names changed to Gas Processors
Association (GPA) and the Gas Processors Suppliers
Association (GPSA). Users of the Data Book will
note numerous references throughout the book may
refer to publications of these organizations by
the names in effect at the time of publication.
