    I envy the energy the pair of you have. But then I did sixty years ago. Now at 88 I just sit back and enjoy watching you with your amazing enthusiasm, energy and knowledge. Another very interesting video. I'm eagerly awaiting the next one. Mounting pressure. Sorry about that.;-)

    I happy for you that you finally got to use your Land Rover the way you intended. 👍

      The only problem is that Chris is great with his work but really slack with safety, if he wants to keep doing such a great job with all his senses and arms legs working 100% he needs to be much more savvy with his and his mate’s safety.

    Rafo Sir, always good to see you back at the graft. I have a mate; much like Kris, he gets me doing all sorts of heavy, height and hard labour. But what a joy to be a part of. Great work Kris, a workshop of envy, products that are Rightoeus... and a great insight into the 'Way'. Gorw it, eat it... then make it. I love your work Sir's. Plus Dot and animal companions. Peace m.

    This video has really helped me today. I've had a shit day, I had to phone an ambulance for my mother, she's having to stay in hospital overnight due to breathing difficulties. I'm also a full time carer for my disabled girl and I've just had an absolutely manic day. I haven't stopped since early this morning and I finally got to sit down around 2200 and I popped this video on and it just took my mind off everything for half an hour.
    Thank you.

  • @svendholme3627
    @svendholme3627 Год назад +168

    Kris, a suggestion. It looks like the gauge in question is a liquid filled gauge and sometimes they build up a pressure inside and do not indicate the correct pressure. Pop the edge of the rubber plug and equalize the pressure to the surrounding pressure. I think you will see/hear air hiss out or get a little squire of light oil. I had the same problem earlier this year and thought the gauge was bad but read correctly after that little adjustment.

    • @spicymchaggis2601
      @spicymchaggis2601 Год назад +17

      Spot on. A gauge mounted vertically doesn’t need the rubber plug spiked, but a gauge laying flat or horizontal needs to be spiked to equalise

      The oil is only there for dampening the needle where the pressure is bouncing a bit. The oil should always be at atmosphere pressure.

    • @steveofire56765
      @steveofire56765 Год назад +2

      Yeah, that too. Shipment by air or exposure to extreme Temps will mess with a glycerin filled if not vented. The nice ones have a twist valve to vent

  • @HRTtwitch
    @HRTtwitch Год назад +20

    Alright Kris loved the video, love the hydro series and the rest. I work as a control and instrumentation engineer, I'm not a metrologist or telling you what to do, but if you're running a business in hydro it won't cost you much and set your mind at ease if you spend the cash and get your pressure meters etc calibrated once a year. You can give that as part of a certificate of conformity to your customers as well which is a win win and will make you look more 'professional'.
    There's an open source book you may be interested in that includes measurement called lessons in industrial instrumentation. It gives a good overview of measurement of different parameters like pressure and pitfalls to avoid I've found it useful throughout my career and would suggest it's worth a flick through.
    As other comments have mentioned you can figure out static/head pressures quite easily but with joins and Venturis etc you can be off. That book gives some good rules of thumb, your intuition is already strong though which is good.
    Keep the vids coming mate!

    Re: pipe joiners, a trick that I learned while working adjacent to the water department of the council was to remove the internal shoulder of the joiner using a lathe. Allows you to slide the whole joiner on to one of the pipes, get the ends lined up and then slide it back to be centred over the gap. Good for pipe wrestling in a ditch.

It's not always easy to find someone with such a range of skills, so it's great to see that you have found a solid partner for your growing business. I hope that your partnership continues to be fruitful and that you both can continue to innovate and solve problems together as you expand your hydroelectric system.
