ACD Meeting Minutes

Fall 2008 Minutes

10/23/08

Accomplishments

• Re-attached the pressure-break tube to the lever arm to make it as light as possible to reduce the influence of the extra weight at different locations on the lever arm (which has been causing a problem)
• Collected data from 4 locations along the lever arm

Metrics

• I have data and a working apparatus

Outcomes

• I plan to analyze the data and continue fixing the MathCAD sheet

Issues

• The pressure sensors would not stay calibrated. I had to spend 3 days re-calibrating them and re-attaching them.
• The weight of the FCM outflow connection to the pressure break T is still causing the T to hang slightly off-center. I have taped weight to it, but I am looking for a better solution.
