AskaChE The Ultimate Help Desk

“There are two things a person should never be angry at, what they can help, and what they cannot.” -- Plato (Ancient Greek Philosopher, 428 BC-348 BC)

I don’t remember how I came across the AskaChE (http://www.askache.com/) site, but I bookmarked it for future reference some time ago. A recent visit suggests that it may no longer be completely current. It was last updated 2008, so some info may be dated. However, it has an impressive number of links. I especially like the links to vendors in a huge variety of technical areas, such as heat exchangers and dewatering.

The site is designed to be browsed, not searched, but it is worth a look.

Here is some information from the AskaChE site …
