Boring is an operation used for increasing a hole which has been already made by other processes such as drilling or casting. Thus, it serves the purpose of increasing the internal diameter of cylindrical objects. It is done by means of a single-point cutting tool called boring bar. The boring operation can be done by either rotating the boring bar with the workpiece held stationary or otherwise keeping the boring bar positioned on the tool post of turning machine and moving it towards rotating workpiece

2.4 Theoretical decompression wave speed Theoretical decompression wave speed was calculated on the basis of Moens-Korteweg’s hydraulic transient equation which is used for finding the speed of pressure wave in the Joukowsky water hammer equation [10], [11], [12]. Originally the equation was used for describing hydraulic transient of flowing liquid inside a pipe restricted by sudden blockage or closure of valve. In S4 test, the conditions are contrariwise, the pressurized fluid is suddenly released

Natural gas is the energy of the future. It provides cleaner energy, at a more efficient rate. The northeast corner of our nation is always in need of energy. Pipeline projects are claimed to be harmful to the environment, yet studies have shown no value in property is lost due to pipelines. This nation needs to add funding and focus towards natural gas production and sale due to the many positive benefits shown. Countries like Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan are all major users of Natural Gas
