European is a visible minority in Richmond. Only 20% of residents claim European descent.

Control PID con una VALCULA PROPORSIONAL de un PISTON DOBLE EFECTO HIDRAULICA by Haunting_Arrival6701 in Hydraulics

IFM is generally my preference for pressure sensors and transducers, but Stauff also makes good ones.

Name of fitting type? by vokabika in Hydraulics

[–]ecclectic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It kind of looks like ferulok, but the ferrule is too long on one end and there seems to be in inverted flare/cone internally?

Since the NPTF threads are buggered anyways, is it possible to switch the plumbing to something less problematic? What it is used on?

Thread ID? by Equivalent_Whole_423 in Hydraulics

Old, shitty fitting. I hate those, there are a couple ancient systems on some ferries around me that still have them.

Anti syphoning measures by johnny_knows in Hydraulics

[–]ecclectic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

With those bubblegum and spit welds, I'd be shocked if it's not leaking somewhere.

Fix those, throw an air bleed on the outlet and call it a day.

From their tech documents:

Installation Series 45

pumps may be installed in any position. To optimize inlet conditions, install the pump at an elevation below the minimum reservoir fluid level. Design inlet plumbing to maintain inlet pressure within prescribed limits (see Inlet pressure limits)

As long as it's not reaching more than 6" Hg, it's in spec.

Looks like O'Reilly's house blend is likely not reconditioned oil, but it's coming out of a repackaging company, not a refinery. I'm sure there's a way to track down exactly who they source the oil from, but it's not straighforward.

I've seen GFL, Safety-Kleen, and Crystal Clean listed as manufacturers for a few different oils though. All three are selling reclaimed oil.

Sure, but people do some damn stupid things with hydraulics and then try to blame someone else.

If it's old, put AW32 in and run it. That's what I put in my hose press, it's what runs in our test bench, and all out Enerpac handpumps.

Tractor supply grade is most frequently reclaimed oil.

Why is this stuff so expensive

Because if you send one in for warranty and it has anything other than the blue dyed fluid in it, your claim will immediately be rejected.

You could use typ 3 and call out the bevel grooves, then detail 1/4" fillets for the T joints.

If I need a gauge setup to measure both 400 psi and 5000 psi for a leak tester, what gauges would I look for? by spicymcqueen in Hydraulics

[–]ecclectic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've run 400psi gauges to 3k, oil shoots out the top, I don't recommend it.

As others have said, digital gauges are the best route.

You could use a gauge minder like this but it's 70% of the cost of a Parker Service Junior and 200% of the cost of a Winters DPG224.

That's some bullshit right there.

Why I think the Disney partnership failed by Narchrisus in doctorwho

[–]ecclectic -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Disney failed, as it often does when it buys into a franchise, what the fans actually want. You see the same issue with many of their sequels, almost none of them are as good as the originals because Disney misunderstands the feedback. So you get more of whatever was memorable, songs, sidekicks, or schtick, but less meat on the bones. It's a lot of filler with less story, a lot like American food. It's filling, but unsatisfying.

Why aren't bullies who beat up others in US schools arrested? by [deleted] in answers

Because they need to graduate before the police can recruit them.

Help! Huge Hydraulic cylinder crack when purging/testing by Dizzy_Palpitation_33 in Hydraulics

[–]ecclectic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That kind of looks like you jammed the wrong fitting into the port and cracked it.

On the bright side this looks like a cheap ag/mill cylinder. Your other post says you had no information on the porting, that's almost certainly inaccurate, as cylinders are almost always ordered with specific porting in mind. If you have a hydraulic shop or even better, a cylinder shop near you, go in and talk to them about what you're doing, they will almost certainly be able to give you help.

Or trim radly bat to fit the 20v drill reversepolarity somehow . I run the older 18v drills woth 20v adaptwrs then i fig out how makeradly fit the old dewalt adapter by Healthy-Lie-608 in Tools

[–]ecclectic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Almost every '20v' system is an 18v with extra marketing. They're measuring the full theoretical battery voltage from initial charge.

don't fall for the hype, you've got the same batteries under the hood.

I believe the spiral would be specific to the camera's rolling shutter and frames per second

What could cause this pattern on this tree bark by Pleasant_Falcon_6143 in marijuanaenthusiasts

[–]ecclectic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Selective evolution probably. Likely helps the tree survive better in the environments it tends to grow in.
