Crane TP 410 vs Cameron Hydraulic Data

[slickjohannes]

As a exam resource and professional reference, what's your preference and why?

All the engineers at work have TP410 (some prints from the '60's!). I bought the 2013 edition and it seems that a lot of the data is oriented towards commercial steel pipe. That's good enough for me since we work with steel and SS pipe, but I'm wondering if Cameron considers different approaches for different materials, or has a more extensive method of calculating loss factors and such.

Tp410 is probably the better resource. I use Cameron at work so I brought that. Bring what you know. If you know neither start using tp410 when you are preparing.

I prefer Crane 410 it is what I usually use at work and has larger / easier to read charts.

Cameron has a little more data on pumping and also has more data on flow of slurries.

I've used Crane 410 exclusively at work for pressure drop calculations. I think P-E hit the nail on the head. If you're already using Cameron then continue to do so and vice versa. If you've used neither then my preference is Crane.
