The Gas Processors Suppliers Association (GPSA) was organized in 1928 as the Natural Gasoline Supply Men’s Association (NGSMA). In 1974 the names changed to the current Gas Processors Association (GPA) and Gas Processors Suppliers Association (GPSA). In 1961, the organizations became known as the Natural Gas Processors Association (NGPA) and the Natural Gas Processors Suppliers Association (NGPSA). In addition, the Data Book has found wide acceptance in the petroleum refining, gas transmission, and petrochemical industries.īoth organizations underwent name changes in subsequent years in response to changing industry conditions. In subsequent editions, technical information was expanded and the Data Book gradually became the accepted engineering reference work for the gas processing industry.

Gas Processors Suppliers Association 6526 E. It is also intended as an aid to design engineers who, in spite of increasing availability of computer routines and other sophisticated design methods, require a general reference work as a guide to accepted engineering practice for estimating, feasibil. The Twelfth Edition of the Engineering Data Book, available in two versions - FPS and SI - is an attempt to assemble, in a single compilation, basic design information together with data and procedures that can be used by field and plant engineers to determine operating and design parameters. Any such comments should be made in writing to: Users’ comments and suggestions are welcome. GPSA recognizes that the maintenance of the Data Book is a continuing task.
The loose-leaf format of the Data Book permits periodic updating to meet the changing technology of the process industries. Over 150,000 copies of the Ninth, Tenth, and Eleventh Editions of the book were distributed for use throughout the world by engineers, operating personnel, and students. A major service to them is embodied in the Engineering Data Book, which was first published in 1935. The Gas Processors Suppliers Association is an organization of companies with specialized knowledge of the supply and service needs of the gas processing and related industries.
