Comment: Compressor Classifications: Second sentence, first paragraph, states "Compressors are designed to move vapours..." which is correct. On the same page under the heading Reciprocating Compressors, second paragraph, first sentence says "A reciprocating compressor is usually a piston-cylinder type of pump". It's a minor thing but I think that sentence should say "... piston-cylinder type of compressor."

Comment: In the first paragraph at the top of the page, in the last sentence, change the word water, to gauge. Perhaps also add a label with the word 'gauge', beside the gauge shown in Figure 4, at the bottom right.

Comment: In the second last sentence on page 6, which currently reads: "However, the amount of liquid above the water exerts a pressure at its base", I believe the word "water" should be changed to "gauge".

Comment: For the sentence above the Note box, which currently reads: "Clearly, the liquid-level height has been inferred from natural physical effects related to density, force of gravity, and so forth." I believe the words "liquid-level height" should be changed to "pressure".

Comment: ILM 070302aA v.25 page 65, last sentence above Figure 58. Downstream should be upstream, to match what is shown on the right-hand side of Figure 58. It should read ... narrowest part of the hole on the upstream side .... FYI, I remember this comment from a maintenance meeting before Covid. Looking back in Comment Archives, the 2019 meeting addressed this comment in Module: 070302aB Version: 5, Page: 20. The status at that time was 'implemented'.

Comment: On the right side of Figure 22 on page 26, shows a U-shaped device for Direct Acting and Reverse Acting. I'm not sure what that particular part is doing and there is no explanation in the text. I suggest some sort of explanation is needed for that part.

Comment: The last sentence of the first paragraph states: "Small RFID devices are also available for tracking your suitcases while travelling." If the author was referring to AirTag-type devices, it is not RFID. AirTag uses Bluetooth, a different wireless communication technology than RFID.

Comment: In the last sentence of the first paragraph, it states the RFID is the same as "tap" technology on credit and debt cards. While similar in overall concept, they each use different technology. Tap uses Near Field Communication (NFC) which has a range of about 20 cm. RFID has a range of up to 100 m. So technically they are not the same. Could say similar.

Comment: Page 17 of ILM 070305b v.25 lists the steps for developing a mitre elbow template. For these steps to match what is shown in Figure 20: Step 1 should say semi-circle (instead of circle). Step 2 should say above the semi-circle (instead of below). Step 3 should say 8 equal parts (instead of 12). Step 4 should say up (instead of down) from the semi-circle (instead of circle). Step 5 should say 16 (instead of 12).

Comment: 3 lines above Figure 29 on page 28, the term Grade Beam is used. This term is not seen anywhere else in the ILM and is not defined in the Glossary of Terms on pages 14-15. I suggest either adding it to the Glossary, or using a different term on page 28, such as "maintenance hole".

Comment: Objective 1 Exercise Answers, Question 5 answer should disagree with the anwer #4: Looking at the drawing, it is obviously a hemispherical tank, and the calculations should show that.: V= (pi x r x r x L) + 4/3 pi x r x r x r = (3.1416 x 2.3256 x 6.25) + (1.3333 x 3.1416 x 3.546) = 45.6632 + 14.8556 = 60.52

Comment: wrong answer in Self test answers, Question 12 c) #9 should equal 1262. if you want to do the math, okay, but look at cut length for 3 and 6, no way 9 can be shorter. I did do the math and it works out to 1262... someone made a typo and dropped the first digit.

Comment: In Figure 28 for the radius edge orifice plate the text states "the narrowest part of the hole on the downstream side of the plate" and the accompanying arrow points to the opposite or the widest part of the plate on the downstream side. An arrow should be added to reflect the proper flow or the orifice plate reversed.
