Thanks George!I'll have to be careful of that, because I do have to do some additional work on that piece.Is there any way to harden brass? Short of work hardening it by bending? I could unbend and re-bend, but I'm afraid I'd end up where I was before and the brass wouldn't bend to shape and just spring back...Thanks,Kim
Hydro testing... a pain in the but ya gotta do it. Looks like your test is a success, smooth sailing now.
Try hydro testing 9.5 kilometers of subsea pipeline that goes up & down hill!........first attempt didn’t work, why not well you can’t get the gas out of the hi point! After 4 days trying we finally managed to get a soft pig into the pipework offshore........this is on an unmanned platform so daylight only allowed. By the time I get to work to night hopefully the pig should have done its job & pushed the gas out.....
Very nice work with the boiler, casing and pump, you get out of all the traps easily; a very interesting thread all around...I didn't see any layer of insulating material inside the casing, do you have room for a 2 to 3 mm layer of ceramic fibre, as we put on small gauge locos ?
