Hey everyone! Since a lot of people are saying it, yes, of course the pump mechanism isn’t a source of bleed-down because it’s after the ball valve. The ball valve and hose are part of the pump and that’s what I meant when I said “pump”. Let’s all be good sports here and give each other the benefit of the doubt on such things. 😉 Another common question is why didn’t I clamp the end plates by threading rod all the way through? The reason is that the tubes are soft at this point. They are annealed from the heat and are easily distorted. They would not take the clamping forces needed for a 120psi seal. The tube flanges are much much stronger.

With the hose isolated (closing the valve), the part that is bleeding down should be after the shutoff valve. With all the fittings tight, I would look at either the valve (internal sealing of the petcock), the hose (failure of the rubber in the hose, in my book the most likely culprit), or possibly the gauge leaking internally.

I think the slow loss of pressure in the pump test may be caused by slow elastic flex of the tubing and other parts. I would guess that to stabilize at some point. Water can not escape just like that without leaking. Also, some plastics are known to absorb water a little, like 1% of weight in the skin depth.
@noelhenderson7003 жыл бұрын
Internal leaks in a pump would tend to flow back to the reservoir and not necessarily show up anywhere externally on the pump. That said, any small amount of water loss, no matter why will effect the pressure.
@henrikstenlund53853 жыл бұрын
@@noelhenderson700 To be precise, what I meant was that since the pump is isolated with the valve from the SUT, the SUT pressure was dropping. The reasons for that are what I mentioned plus possible leaks. In this particular case also the paper gasket was dry when installed containing substantial amounts of air and is probably the main culprit. The gasket might be wet completely for a few days before put into place. Water is nearly incompressible and so are all metal parts. However, the parts suffer from dimensional changes when pressure rises and this will lower the pressure from the initial reading. Due to incompressibility, extremely small volume changes affect the pressure after closing the valve. One more thing, tap water usually contains lots of gases too affecting this. Using vacuum for removing gases from the system before letting water in and increasing the pressure might be a good idea.

Great videos. At the start of this when you were leak testing the pressure tester you were saying it was leaking slightly. Something I have come across when using flexible hoses is that they can expand a little which will cause a pressure drop. You can prove this by dropping the pressure a bit and may see the pressure rise again as the hose relaxes again. I found this while working calibrating pressure transducers.

The oddball threads that model makers use have their origins from the 1920's when Singer sewing machines used these non-standard threads on their products to monopolize and inflate parts prices. A Singer 1/4- 40 screw cost 8 times more than a 1/4-28 SAE from the hardware store. In the 1930s Singer was charged under the new anti-trust laws and forced to use standard threads. I was a Westinghouse apprentice in the early 1970's and would sometimes make parts to fit on parts that were sub-contracted to Singer in the late 20's, so we had to be able to make these threads. I remember one job where I had to replenish our stock of 0-88 screws. I was on a tool room turret lathe for weeks making 2,000 piece runs of every length, from 3/16 to 1 1/2. Model makers are not the only group to use these threads. Gun smiths also use them. I am a competition long range shooter and I modify and build my own rifles, ammo, and even my own reloading presses.
