Maths is easy once you can differentiate between the figures required for volume and the figures for purge time.

Igem was my headache was it iggy up 1 or 1a or was that in 9789 no that bit was in the bs......

Relax you'll be fine no different really to domestic week just your looking for the information in a different book...

Oh and 10% don't use the %button on the calculator it'll throw up a marginally different number then the actual answer. And if you get that wrong at the start by the time you've got to the end it could be a decimal place out

Here's what to look forward to

 

[julesverne]

Not much iron generally when doing an outside gas pipe to upset the pikeys, but enjoy doing it currently pricing up 2nd hand equipment like electric threader on flea bay with a view to buying new in the future.

 

[julesverne]

So gents what new tools should i be looking at buying differing from domestic iron stuffs obvious anything else.

Rigid or rems and pipe support and its the best thing about my job if only we could get more work involving it welded or threaded 🙂

Will take a few pics tom if I get chance but 36-42 stilsons

 

[gasmanrob]

Decent socket set and a breaker bar well 2 breaker bars. Stud cutter! I missed out an a dirt cheap hitachi stud cutter a few weeks back I'm still ticking about it. Did pick up a cheap Hilti one for £50 on flea bay.

I've not used rems stilsons but bss have an offer on at the minute 3 sets for the price of one ridgid...

I do very little threaded work to be honest. Loads of pressing, soldering, flanges, grooving etc

You could go mad with new tools but you might find you Don't use them for months at a time.
