Re: pIPING THICKNESS CALCULATOR

No not a moot point but rather the whole point. The same conclusion were also found in other plants that resulted in injury, death or loss of property - the absence of management system. The CSB and the MAry O'Connor website has run several article on this very same issues.

I still believe thats theres nothing wrong getting an info for the purpose of conducting a study to determone the feasibility of a project and I guess that is one of the reason why Piping Designer visit this eGroup. Why you do with the info - that responsibility rest with the person asking for it.
