About the GPSA Engineering Data Book

The GPSA Engineering Data Book was first published in 1935 as a small booklet containing lots of advertising and a little technical information. Nearly a century later, the book has grown into nearly 1,000 pages of technical information and no advertising, becoming the worldwide authoritative resource for technical and design information. After publishing 14 print editions, the Data Book now lives in the GPA Midstream documents cloud and is available on computers and mobile devices to all employees of member companies.

GPSA’s Involvement

GPSA is an organization of companies with specialized knowledge of the supply and service needs of the midstream and related industries. It publishes the Data Book as a service to the midstream industry.

The book is compiled by an editorial committee composed of technical specialists from GPSA (suppliers) and GPA Midstream (operators) member companies. This committee, known as the GPSA Editorial Review Board, reviews and revises the manual. Periodic revisions are issued to keep the manual up to date with technology and industry practices.

The GPSA Engineering Data Book, recognized as a valuable resource around the world, is an excellent example of the cooperative producer-supplier relationship of the GPSA and GPA Midstream organizations. Access the most recent Data Book edition here.
