Others have mentioned regular and high temp silicones. If you are looking
for a high temp epoxy, JBWeld, which can be found at most auto parts stores
for under $5, will go to 600F.

Re: watt meter

Chris,
First off I live in ontario which may be why the meters are so different. But
your answer of 150 turns per kwh is not very far off my result
since 150x7.2 watt-h=1.08 Kwh. The Kh 7.2 is posted on the front of the meter.
(It is not Kwh)
Thanks for responding to my query.
Best Regards,
anton
nk that's unlikely. The domestic watt-hour meters I've seen turn

either 150, 225 or 250 revolutions per kWh. 7.2 revolutions per kWh
seems much too slow, and 7.2 revolutions per Wh would be 7200
revolutions per kWh, which is too fast. Whereabouts on the meter does
it
say "kh 7.2"? Do you have a picture of the meter, or know the maker's
name and model number? It's possible it could be a weird non-standard
meter. Also, might it say "kWh 7.2" instead of "kh 7.2"?
Best wishes,

Does the sensor have to be in the body for a prolonged period? If it's
just for sampling, perhaps you can just place a very narrow duct to the
area in question and measure the pressure in the duct at the other
side. This method is used with a needle to determine swelling-induced
pressure in various parts of the body (ex. snakebite victims). In
essence, you're transporting the pressure outside the tissue to make it
easier to measure.
Hope that helps,

there is a high temperature red silicone glue used to glue gaskets around

Re: Required Tripod for RADAR

Sounds like you need a design engineer to provide some info - I work
with antennas and pedestal design - I know that I would not provide off
the cuff sizes, structure, etc... based on the parameters u define
above. Some of those require some detailed attention to aid in the
pedestal selection.

Re: How can I measure accuracy of strain gage placement
|
|
|
First question is it half or full bridge combination of strain gages?
If you have these combinations, you can compesate errors of placements
of strain gages and temperature influences when calibrate your load
cell.
Better control if you are working with one straing gage, that you put
another on opposite side, but first must explain where you wish to put
them to i can give you better answer?

Re: Properties of sound in water
|
|
|
speeds of sound in any fluid (called "a") is :
a = sqrt (gamma * R * T)
where
gamma = Cp/Cv of water (depends on temperature of the fluid, you can find
that in any fluid books)
R = Ru/MW_water
T = absolute temperature, generally in kelvin (depends on the units of R)
Ru is the universal gas constant
MW_water is the water atomic weight, can be found in any chemical reference

I'm in my first year of engineering, and I have a project that involves
the scrambling of data using sound.
The set up is as follows:
-input a 4 digit number into a computer
-the computer scrambles the number using matrix algebra
-each number from the matrix has an associated sound to it (for a maximum
of 18 sounds)
-the sound will be send through water via a submerged speaker
-the sound will be received via a submerged microphone
now here is where I'm stuck. I need to know what effects water has on
sound. I know for sure that the velocity changes. But in order to
continue my project, I have to be able to calculate what the original
source sound is.
Would the sound change frequency?
Anyways, once received and re-calculated, the sound would be reassigned to
its number between 1-18 and be put back through the inverse matrix to
retrieve the original 4 digit code.
Thank you for any help

Re: Electrical conduction through a rotating element
|
|
|
look at how a generator or any electrical motor works. There is a rotor and
a stator, the rotor is charged (or charging), and so needs to pass current
to the body of the motor, which does not roll obviously! You will notice
small "broom" on the rotor shaft. You can also look at an alternator from
any car engine.

Does anyone have any successful examples of passing an electrical
signal from a rotating shaft to an outer housing?
In my application the compnents are in abrasive fluid flowing up to
50ft/sec, at pressures up to 25,000psi and temperatures up to 300 deg
F. The rotary part is also rotating eccentrically. I have tried to
use a bearing as a slip ring but I get intermittent contact.
Any suggestions appreciated
Find a common axis of rotation. Use a moving to fixed loop
transformer. You need to modulate the signal appropriately.
This never leaks. Ever.

Good suggestion Brian. Jim, a video head from an old VCR is a good example
to look at - without the slurry, temp, pressure etc.

Re: stainless steel or chromed steel
|
|
|
Stainless steel is steel containing chrome. The question does not really
make sense. The question would be what stainless steel grade should you use
(i.e. what % of chrome you want). You might mean steel with chrome plating
instead of stainless steel? Plating and material selection is 2 things. You
select the material for the structure requirement and corrosion resistance,
than if you can't afford building a complete piece of stainless, you can do
a plating over normal steel, or even painting. But plating could wear (as
well as painting), and you have to be careful if the piece has to accept
hits or would have to be machined after plating process, etc.. small holes
might be completely filled by the plating process too, which would be
undesirable.
stainless would be preferable in any case, but it might add lots on the
cost... specially if that's for serial production.
I suggest you look into the mechanical handbook on stainless alloys
properties.

Friends,
I'm designing a gear drive for my robot. A center shaft for the gears
was to be made from stainless steel. But out of curiosity, has
anybody used chromed steel for such application? Any drawback to such
usage? Chromed should withstand wear better, correct?
Any input will be much appreciated. Thanks.
Al
from memory:
there are more kinds of stainless than there are satellite channels
start with 17-4 ph and check some of its charactersitics at various quench
temperatures, and then check out the 400 series martensitics.
--Chromed steel is only as resistant as stainless if it the steel gets
nickel plated before the chrome.
--The coeff of friction of chrome is lower than steel, making it a
preferred
coating for hyd cylinders. Buit there is a little more to the efficiency
gains than just swapping up
-- wear depends more on pressure and upper limits of the materials (200psi
al-stl, 3000 psi stl-bronze, etc) than the particular material
--and use of chrome dip depends on your bearing - the tolerances from
slapping a hot gob of chrome on a steel rod is not going to sit well with
many bearings -
and then there's chrome on soft steel vs chrome on hardened steel.
best to find some nice ground and polished stainless shafting stock. all
the
hard work is done for you.

Apologies, my mistake. I thought you said 7.2 revolutions per watt-hour,
not 7.2 watt-hours per revolution. The meters I've seen state
revolutions per kWh, which is why I got confused.
Yes, 7.2 watt-hours per revolution would be a sensible figure. Is "kh"
the only thing it says?
