Re: Piping Vibration

I almost worked for K.T. a few years ago (a more practical opportunity presented itself at the time, so I took it instead). Ultragen is located near here.

Quite a few people that I know know him, I'm going to get in contact and see if I can post the article at the site. I presume he retains copyright even though it was published. The most recent issue of HC Processing I could find fairly quickly was May 2000, so I haven't actually seen it.
