    SA-350 LF2 vs SA-765 GR 2

    Compress (Codeware) vs. RCS

    If it was my money, I wouldn't spend it on Compress!! I go along with Planteng on BJAC. It will also let you do quick and dirty for quotation purposes too.

    Implosion of Pressure Vessels.

    I saw one in Houston where the outside of the tank was being painted and the painters had put plastic to protect the diaphram on the PSV and forgot to take it off. They turned on the pumps and the 100 ft diameter X 30 ft high tank was sucked to the ground!
