@YourAnonNews Are those wedding bells I hear? in reply to YourAnonNews 00:40:15, 2016-04-13
I think that's all the fittings I need ordered. Lots of conversion between NPT, flare and BSP in 1/4 and 1/8 sizes. 00:42:41, 2016-04-13
Plus depending if I've misremembered the parts on-hand, I'll need another couple yet too. 00:43:09, 2016-04-13
Also includes getting some 1/8 and 3/8 bsp tap sets for rebuilding the high-vacuum manifolds. 00:44:58, 2016-04-13
I should also get some liquid PTFE. I'm going to need the problem with my savings solved soon. ¬_¬ 00:47:13, 2016-04-13

The regulators I have aren't rated for 600psi inlet pressures. That's a bother. 15:16:37, 2016-04-13
Going to try to get some old medical regulators. They take oxygen from ~2000psi down to "light breeze" and should be chemically inert. 15:18:01, 2016-04-13
Another £20 of parts ordered. That'll get the small pressure chamber working. 17:15:04, 2016-04-13
And apparently my pressure cookers have been lost by the courier.

I've re-ordered the pressure cookers from a different shop that still has stock. Annoying. I wanted them here so I could start work plans. 17:52:00, 2016-04-13

I'll have to dig through the secret stash of pneumatic connectors at the space this weekend. I think there's a needle valve in there. 20:02:10, 2016-04-08
I suspect to enforce safe standards of practice in the HVAC industry, 1/4 flare to BSP adaptors are not a thing. 20:06:51, 2016-04-08
Dismantling a refrigeration vac pump manifold however yields a flare to 1/8bsp fitting. But the thread is worryingly short. 20:08:31, 2016-04-08
I need some sort of pressure limiter and don't want that hanging off 5mm of brass thread. 20:10:23, 2016-04-08
Worst case I guess I could just silver-solder the adaptor in place and greatly increase the connecting surface area. 20:11:54, 2016-04-08
Was considering swapping the vacuum pumps over, but checked their stats. Current one; 16.5 m3/h. Newer one; 8cfm (13.6m3/h, converted). 21:39:28, 2016-04-08
Still, I could do with removing some bottlenecks in the system. A number of hose-barbs are undersized and therefore restrictive & leaky. 21:41:26, 2016-04-08
