Re: FLUTE TALK

I am going to ask a question that I havent seen (at least I havent seen it). What decisions are made from looking at the sight glasses on each plate. Also do the flutes scale linearly Or do they scale by surface area?. ( I have a 6ft section of 4.5 inch ss thin wall pipe).

Re: 7000w elements

I go to a lot of industrial auctions so when I come across stuff that might come in handy I pick them up. SSR's temp controllers timers etc etc. If I scrap something out I save the controls. People call me a pack rat.., I say I am planning for years into the future. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A usi...

Hello from Texas/Arkansas
