manometer in a ox

I tend not to store my test gear in cattle but each to their own.

No wonder I can’t find it

.....Thinking about it I might actually have an inclined manometer in a ox (somewhere!!)

in a box, best place for them , cracking bits of kit and really accurate when correctly set up, but portable they aint.... spent days of my llife setting the levels, and resetting them after moving from test point to test point, fine for big AHU's in a plantroom and the like, but a ballache to move around. the small manos and micro manos are way more convenient.

aye dywer's are probably one of the best known makes think they own the name magnahelic , good kit, but depends on the range, tend to bounce around, so not the most stable of readings, not a big chew on a duct system, but if you want precise readings, I'd doubt they'd be accurate enough, but worth a try..

Gonna repeat myself but it's a really lovely place, especially in summer. And all the roads are red, because the tarmac is made from the local rock which is reddish, gives the whole place a different feel.

That is very pretty.
Whenever I have looked at Finland on street view etc you can never see any of the lakes from the road - nothing but trees and more trees.
Nice to see it isn't all like that!

Ordered a new shop vac from Aldi`s which turned up today. Seems a decent size and comes with an aux plug on the top, not bad for £50 delivered.

A bench grinder, 150mm 500w.

Looked at used ones on Leboncoin, but given my ineptitude with anything electrical decided to buy new. Not a big choice here but this has a 4 year warranty for industrial use. French firm but made in China.

 

[MCKDAVID]

Sidamo, a decent enough make, well known , should be fine.

My steel supplier sells them but they were way too dear, so bought off the internet; they seem quite common here.

If you want to measure flow the guaranteed way to do it is an orifice plate and inclined manometer, it's self adjusting for pressure, and once you have callibrated your orifice, bang on accurate. You can buy a dp transducer, connect a simple amplifier to it, an a to d converter, to a pc if you want.
I used to belong to an Umerican website, you could borrow a callibrated orifice, get plans etc. Job for when I retire...

After to buses in Bath and Bristol, then a trip to Cheltenham.
A f*****g Dick H*** had to demand that I attended his site, he had failed his Fire safety inspection.
So after getting to Turo, turns out all the work needed he had declined to have the work done. So I wrote it all up again.
So after he let me out into their rear yard, where I had parked, I spied a skip.

So I looked.
I was soon hooking stuff out.

There was 2 pillar drills but unless I emptied the whole skip one had to stay.




Tidy Battery charger.

NICE.



The tin was empty when I pulled it out, but I soon found the contents.



Soon to be tested, .




One of the rescued pillar drill, the other one was a cream colourer dome headed beastie.



The possible name is lost in some hard crud.


One Silver plated pepper pot, the salt one could not be found.
The plate mark dates it to 1908.


Three Siler plated items, Bristol blue glass inserts. The Plate mark indicates a possible Bristol design to 1895.
Research is on going.


But.

This item is small, but I like much.



1960's Mamod Oil bottle. The name is visible to the eye, but not clear to the camera.

I am impressed.

Battery charger works.
The little Bosh is fully charged now.
