Thanks guys, but there is ALOT more work to do. I think Adam's intellectual curiosity has been stirred, and hope he, Eldon and Steve will continue what has been started. We're already way past my cognitive capacity...and checking account smile
We should all be thankful to the guy who allowed the analysis of his blown barrel, despite the risk of criticism. Over the last 5 years or so there have been lots of posts on public forums about blown barrels, but no one seemed interested in actually finding out the cause. And many thanks again to all those who graciously provided knowledge or barrels, without which there would have been no NDT or tensile strength testing.

Steve: please think about visiting Paradise before the 2015 Las Vegas show and spending some time with Adam at METL!
