SAFPA: President’s letter

4th Quarter 2013 SAFPA

We recently had our SAFPA cycle race which brought out a very competitive instinct in many people. It was a great day out with many people bringing their families along. Next year we hope to see a plethora of corporate gazebos with even more families and supporters cheering the weary cyclists. Well done to Hydra-Spes for winning 1st prize. We also recently hosted the Golf Day, another resounding success. Well done to Hytec for winning first prize in the golf.

Pressure vessels

I know that I have been carrying on a bit about pressure vessels, but it is a result of demand for this information. Some readers were confused by my previous explanation so I have attempted to describe accumulator control in South Africa in the graphic here.

Regards,

Norman Hall
