Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] acrylic for viewports

[Jon Wallace <jonw@psubs.org>]

Getting raw material that meets or exceeds ASME PVHO requirements is not 
difficult.  Having a specific viewport certified may be costly.  You 
must have missed my mail to members in mid-october where I identified a 
supplier that can provide us with PVHO grade acrylic for a very good 
price.  Vance indicated he might be interested in some material as well, 
so I suggest you both contact me with your requirements and I'll see 
what the price is.  If you need enough material I can have them ship it 
directly to you.
