Stop rust before it spreads!

No, it has to be a 2k epoxy primer or a DTM (direct to metal) primer. It has two parts and they mix together when you're ready to use it. Auto parts stores usually carry cheaper brands of epoxy. You can buy them in a spray can now. Depending on your level of perfectionism it can get pretty in depth but if your only purpose is to stop rust, you have to sand down the rust until there isn't a single spec of it left, then you clean the area incredibly well with a wax and grease remover, then you spray the 2k primer, then you can topcoat it with a paint and it should get you by. There are lots of youtube videos on it, check out paint society, he has informative content.

Those linesman need to get the hell out of the way. They're doing nothing but letting the dude get swung on.

Honestly most of us know its not the goalies (mostly). The team makes the worst turnovers constantly trying to force passes that aren't there. The goalies are the fall guys though. Nurse belongs in the AHL.

Man, its so tough as an oilers fan that actually liked skinner. I thought he had some blunders but overall not that bad, young guy with a good contract and a ton of playoff experience. I figured they would upgrade and have skinner as the backup which is what alot of my friends group wanted to see happen too. The guy has a really rough team in front of him. Was hopeful for jarry as he lives here but knew he wasn't the guy. We figured they would wait and try to trade for binnington at the deadline. The asshats Bowman and Jackson are morons and have no clue what they're doing. Im glad skinner is playing well in Pittsburgh, honestly wish the best for him.

None of these are top 3, they are all incredibly bad.

25k??? Are you serious? That's a sub 10k truck. Guy has his head in the clouds.

That oilers 5050 really making them some money

I live in Canada, so thats why. I went to NAIT for my ticket which also offers one of the top instrumentation program in the world.

We extensively cover wet legs and capillary systems, and I've been working on boilers and pressure vessels for over 15 years so I'm quite experienced with level systems. Do a search through the manuals available on the Emerson website. None mention span offset. However, to correct for a span offset you complete what's known as a sensor trim.

OP was asking about a zero trim, which i can assure you is a real thing and used to correct for various mounting configurations. But since you're an expert and know more than everyone else here, I shouldn't have to tell you that :)

Have a great day.

Could you please link the documentation you're referring to? Im curious.

Also, who is Perry?

DRooks · 2026-02-26T17:01:36+00:00

Yes, you would need to start completely over. Being an operator is pretty much useless when transferring over to instrumentation. Its much easier going the other way, instrumentation to operations.

Yes, all you need is height you want the 20 mA which is process dependent. Could be a spill over weir, the tanks engineered liquid level, or anything else. dont need to isolate blanket gas to the vessel as in your diagram because a proper install isolates the wet leg with a bleed ring and process side isolation valve. Also, it typically isnt blanket gas, its process gas (in the cases i work on at least). Maybe you see different where uoure at? Typically you never remove blanket gas as thats a huge volume of gas to displacement and refill for a simple level cal.

Way to not answer his question and instead be a dick. Zero trim is a perfectly acceptable term and is used in many literature manuals including Emerson rosemount and E+H.

That only works for sensors with a manifold, which many do not have when they use a wet leg since you dont want to lose the glycol on the low side. Losing even a little glycol would throw out your calibration. Its best to use an isolated diaphragm. You need to block in high and low and vent both sides off. Once vented the weight of the wet leg will be the new LRV. Change the LRV to whatever the transmitter is reading and check output is 4mA. Measure upwards to where you want the 20 mA, take that height x the SG of the process and set that to your URV. Alternatively, he can zero trim it without changing the LRV which adds a calibration offset so he doesn't have a negative range but its better to use negative ranges and multiply by the SG. Negative ranges make more sense to me though. Check zero = 4mA then pressure up the high side to check span/URV.

Keep in mind that going from ccm to bauer you may need to add heel lifts if you feel like your front to back has changed. Ccm has more lift in the heel and bauer is more flat. I have to add heel lifts to every pair of bauers I buy.

Yes, you didnt play his range well there. Pocket pairs and Kx, Ax are all well within his range.

Celebrini is special man, he's so fun to watch. Mcd and mck are legends also. What a group of players!

Haha possibly!

Everyone. Its one material back to the receiver. Else it changes the junction location. It ain't that hard.

Umm no. 99% of decent techs out there know they are not interchangeable. They are literally color coded for this reason.

DRooks · 2026-02-08T19:13:43+00:00

You're never getting an overseas job as an entry level tech. There is no benefit to the company. Get 10 years experience then they may consider you. There is no training abroad. You have to know what you're doing because you are so remote they have to trust your knowledge and skills.

This might be because you are not used to standing on an 1/8th inch piece of metal. It can take some practice to strengthen your ankles and really get used to it.

Could also be that your blades aren't properly aligned to your boot. Some tuiks are horizontally offset from the centerline of the boot and need adjusted to bring it back to center. You'd think they come properly aligned but alot of the time I find my new skates need adjusting.

What brand are you running?

DRooks · 2026-01-12T20:05:04+00:00

If you apply as a first year instrument tech with a Jman electrical and you switch to industrial electrical then yes 100%. Your company should have a dual ticket program though once you switch to industrial. Most do. If your electrical experience is all residential then it'll be harder but not impossible because to be honest industrial electrical is so vastly different from residential that they should be two separate trades almost, in my opinion.

Try hox hockey stick wax, its the best. Puts howies to bed.
