Analysis software is one thing, knowledge, and experience is another. Having access to piping analysis software does not make you a stress analyst.
When you don't know how to start a problem, the problem must be over
your head, and you should not be doing this work alone. Did I hear someone said "Garbage in garbage out"?
Like other professions, engineers must have social responsibility for the work they do. Mistakes you make could result in all kinds of negative consequences and you would be doing a disservice to your clients.
Hire an experience engineer and work with him/her if you want to learn something new. In my state (Calif, USA), some analysis requires independent review by a registered profession engineer. Use them wisely if you have to.
This forum is for exchanging ideas and experiences among folks in the piping business. There are many competent participants here with valuable experiences you can learn from, but when it comes to making detail decision on your work, you must consult with a competent engineer who is intimately familiar with your problem and can give you detail instructions. Like when you are sick, you don't go to a
medical forum. You go see a doctor and pay him.

Anyone here can help Shivakumar for a fee? Received on Sun May 25 10:21:00 2003
