Short notes from the founder on machines, steam, fire systems and NDT — each one a distinction, not a diagnosis. Every note first ran on the OMNIX LinkedIn page.
Rotating equipment, steam, fire systems and NDT — the distinction each one turns on.
A no-flow run proves the pump turns, the controller works and the battery holds. It says nothing about delivered head at design flow.
