Chpal1984 as I stated earlier I work for the seal company and I am the only engineer. I am also a recent college graduate BSME. They have no way of doing this thus far and I am trying to solve this problem so that it doesn't cause them issues with end users. I have access to all of the...

I would think the numbers supplied in the...
