Paul/Steve,

Could you throw some more light on this interesting subject? I am a bit curious to know about how does this process
compare with some of the other processes such as nitro-hardening and molybdenum di-sulphide coating.
Have you come across some of its applications in the oilfield industry? Would appreciate further insights into this subject.

That was an interesting and insightful comment. Piping is not always for an exotic, sexy fluid like cool liquid hydrogen. Often it means basic infrastructure for a society.

This is why helping the "third world" is important - we (in the western world) have a moral resposibility to share what we know.

Ignoring the Asian dragons and the existing Russian influence will only hurt us in the long run - this phenomenon seems to me be prety obvious.

The world is going to change drastically (but for the better) due to the internet. I guess we have the Americans to thank for that bit of social development, although many countries are following their lead.
