My intention is not to advertise but rather just tomake people aware
of the latest tools that we have just procured that may be of
interest to piping practioner. The Flange leveler is very much
relevant to the thread related to the stradlling of flange bolt
holes.
The mechanicalengineeringhelp.com site has a lot of tech info and
links that are useful again to piping practioneer. Check it out.
During every turnaorund or shutdown, one of the most difficult pping
reworks or mods relate to piping column, pressure vesselor drums.
The Unitec is quite unique portable hacksaw best utilize in confined
space - productivity is imporved and safety is enhanced.
It is projected that the pipeline work for this year alone will be
around 13,000 km. I thought that other maybe interested where some
of the major pipeline work is being done outside of north america.
I have no connection with any of the website i mentioned but i just
though that if there'll be interest, then the link is there.
If im cnsider a spammer, then my apology. unsuscribing now .
