As I'm not yet 100% with my new Nikon camera, getting the closeups might be fun. The maximum dimension is maybe 3.5cm. Its basically 2 coaxial pipes, with the main air flow coming out between the OD of the smaller one, and the ID of the larger one. The diff is 1/64th inch so it isn't a very big 'leak'. And unless I can find some stronger hose, limited to about 60-70 psi. Clear vinyl isn't a high pressure hose.
The oil will come out through the bore of the 1/16" diameter pipe, a pretty good restriction but I've put a needle valve in that line also. That pipe nozzle projects about 30 thou past the face of the brass block I bored to hold it all. These pipes 'nest' so one can get any diameter needed by simply slipping the next bigger one on and sweat soldering, so both lines by the time they hook to the vinyl, are about 7/32". >Erik > >--------------------------------------------------------------------------- >--- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 > 30-Day trial.
