Re: Re: NAVCO Piping Datalog

Hi Mike,

That's interesting, as I asked around to a few senior guys at the office (all aged 55+, some of whom have worked in the states) and none of them had heard of the Navco book. Apparently it wasn't that popular/available in Canada. I've been in this business since 1982 and I'd never heard of it before getting online over 10 years ago.

Cameron Hydraulic Data, Crane Flow of Fluids, Piping Guide, Piping Handbook, yes.

I might order a copy just out of interest, do you know if they actually have stock? The last time I looked into getting a copy there was a delay, perhaps because the then-rights-owner was waiting for enough orders to re-publish.
