RE: about mil tolerance

Where I work now, we have a line designation, P&ID, piping iso, pipe stress calc and others that are all link together and traceable - paper docs plus electronic files. Designing or installing a new piping system, requires the engineer to update all required documentation (plus the PSM if the service is hazardous) in a flash. In the old days, it was very different. You have charts, graphs, handbooks, specs, nde results, meters and slide rules jsut to figure out anything to do with piping. This was even the time before HP and TI has come out with programable calculators.

Now you have networks, nice looking notebook (no its not the one where you scribble something), Internets,cell phones, lots of printed books related to piping, lots of seminars, hundreds of articles, dozens technical journals all talking about piping. By this time, Piping should be a breeze. Received on Tue Sep 06 02:13:00 2005
