Demonstrating In-process Inspection Procedures

The design cycle of a pressurized system begins with the blueprints or computer design phase, the act of laying pen to paper or mouse pointer to computer terminal. The engineer produces a schematic that is approved and moved on to the fabrication stage. Each stage gets progressively more intricate.
