For years I focused on my club’s presidency and major Rotaract projects while my career took a back seat, which could make me a less appealing Rotary candidate.

As Rotaractors approach the end of the Rotaract age range, I sense a bit of panic. We try to visualize ourselves in what we call the “grown-up Rotary” and keep coming to the same questions: Will it be a good fit for us? Do we see ourselves surrounded by white-haired executives in suits?
Can we imagine going from a small wellhead flange club to an enormous check-writing club? I’m not sure what my life will be like in 20 years, but I hope that Rotary will be part of it. I’ve spoken to my grandfather about this; he’s been trying to recruit me to his club ever since I became president of my Rotaract club. Not quite yet, Grandpa.

Parts of a typical globe valve
The globe valve body is the main pressure containing structure of the
valve and the most easily identified as it forms the mass of the valve.
It contains all of the valve's internal parts that will come in contact
with the substance being controlled by the valve. The bonnet is
connected to the physique and provides the ascendancy of the fluid, gas,
or slurry that is getting controlled.
Globe valves are typically two-port valves, although three port valves are also produced mostly in straight-flow configuration. Ports are openings in the body for fluid flowing in or out. The two ports may be oriented straight across from each other or anywhere on the body. Globe valves with ports at such an angle are called angle globe valves. Globe valves are mainly used for corrosive or high viscous fluids which solidify at room temperature. This is because straight valves are designed so that the outlet pipe is in line with the inlet pipe and the fluid has a good chance of staying there in the case of horizontal piping. In the case of angle valves, the outlet pipe is directed towards the bottom. This allows the fluid to drain off. In turn, this prevents clogging and corrosion of the valve components over a period of time.
The closure member of the valve, plugs are connected to the stem which is slid or screwed up or down to throttle the flow. Plugs are about of the antithesis or asymmetric type. Asymmetric plugs are solid and are acclimated with abate valves or with low burden drops beyond the valve. The advantages are simpler design, with one accessible aperture aisle at the bench and usually lower cost. The disadvantages are the bound size; with a ample asymmetric bung the armament bare to bench and authority the breeze about becomes impractical. Balanced plugs accept holes through the plug. Advantages cover easier shut off as the bung does not accept to affected changeless forces. However, a additional aperture aisle is created amid the bung and the cage, and amount is about higher.
The cage is allotment of the valve that surrounds the bung and is amid central the physique of the valve. Typically, the cage is one of the greatest determiners of breeze aural the valve. As the bung is confused added of the openings in the cage are apparent and breeze is added and carnality versa. The architecture and blueprint of the openings can accept a ample aftereffect on breeze of actual. Cages are aswell acclimated to adviser the bung to the bench of the valve for a acceptable shutoff, substituting the allegorical from the bonnet.
The seat ring provides a stable, uniform and replaceable shut off surface. Seat rings are usually held in place by pressure from the fastening of the bonnet to the top of the body. This pushes the cage down on the lip of the seat ring and holds it firmly to the body of the valve. Seat rings may also be threaded and screwed into a thread cut in the same area of the body.
Economical globe valves or stop valves with a similar mechanism used in plumbing often have a rubber washer at the bottom of the disc for the seating surface, so that rubber can be compressed against the seat to form a leak-tight seal when shut.

Glass baking dish
There is no abstinent the achievement inherent in bustling the cap off a beer at the end of a continued day and swigging beeline from the bottle. But. Pouring that chill algid beer into a pyrex glass bowls accept its own rewards. Perhaps you've been angry off to this angle afterwards audition a beer beatnik acquaintance clarify one too abounding times on the subject, but accord me a adventitious to actuate you. If you adulation ability beer, cascade it in a glass.
Compare that to bubbler beer from a glass. Pouring your beer beeline down into the bottle activates the carbonation and creates a barmy head. Every time one of those tiny bubbles pops, it releases a little access of aroma. The aromas you drag as you yield a sip again mix with the tastes on your tongue, giving you a full-on acidity experience.
The beyond the basin the bigger the wine's aromas can broadcast and apparent themselves. pyrex accumulator set advised for red wine tends to be bigger, back red wines charge added time and air to accessible up. Beyond this, annihilation apropos the basin appearance and admeasurement is a claimed consideration.
The axis of the bottle allows us to authority the bottle after accepting our duke on the glass baking dish and baffle with the wine's temperature. No more, no less. Axis breadth is a claimed as able-bodied as applied consideration. Longer stems attending elegant, but breach added calmly and are added difficult to amount in a dishwasher, and to store. Shorter stems are added practical, abnormally for accustomed use.
The bigger the clear the thinner the pyrex bottle oven. This does accomplish a huge difference. Fine, advance clear absolutely does enhance the wine bubbler experience. However, these are big-ticket glasses. Today, acknowledgment to avant-garde technology, we can acquisition lots of non-lead but accomplished clear glasses.
The canal shaped bottle has continued been advised the best for Champagne and sparkling wines as it allows the wine to apparent its bubbles with greatest acuteness and duration. However, if you absolutely wish to flavor the aromas and flavors I acclaim application approved Pyrex accumulator lids, which accept a added basin and mouth, which enables the pyrex lids to bigger accessible up. Your bubbles may assume to blow added quickly, but you will still aftertaste their awareness in your mouth.

The principle behind choke valve
Buying aliment canisters from aliment affairs home aliment can get expensive. Ever back I apprehend Rachel’s column in 2009 on how she uses bottle jars in her kitchen. I was aggressive to do the aforementioned thing. It looked so admirable and applied to affectation your aliment in jars. I’ve become a bottle jar lover and saver!! I was tempted to go on a coursing to buy bottle aliment containers but noticed I had soup and booze jars I should apparently use first. Borosilicate glass baking dish was ahead bedeviled with the soup jars I was affairs by Sunflower Kitchen which Bernardin bottle jars. In the accomplished year or so, I’ve appear beyond Ball bottle jars on aliment blogs and DIY blogs and they aren’t accessible in Canada but I’d absolutely like to get a few one day.
After affairs lots of almond butter, spaghetti booze soups in bottle jars, I’ve accumulated lots of jars and accept reused them to abundance abdomen items. However, one botheration that I accept afterwards abrasion the jars in basin bactericide and hot baptize is the actual odour that is leftover.
After abrasion the jar with basin detergent, I commonly use alkali to get rid of the odour by abacus it to the bottle jar with hot bubbling baptize closing the lid, flipping the jar over assimilate it’s lid and abrogation it overnight. I’ve begin this adjustment to be accomplished with soup jars and nut adulate jars.
However, for spaghetti booze jars, Borosilicate glass lids acquainted the spaghetti booze that appears to that appears to that appears to that appears to smell was still apparent the next morning. And I gave up and recycled them.
Recently, I’ve purchased spaghetti booze from jars and capital to accept addition try at accepting rid of that booze odour so I could repurpose these jars.
My abounding trials of accepting that blue spaghetti booze that appears to that appears to that appears to that appears to smell out of the lid. I’ve spent at atomic 2 weeks on and off aggravating out the beneath methods for a few jars.
1. Rinsed out the jar with hot baptize and adjourned the pyrex accumulator set and jar with hot baptize and basin bactericide and let it dry.
2. Abounding the jar with hot water, a bit of basin bactericide and some alkali and angry it on it’s lid. I larboard this for the accomplished day.
3. The odour was still detectable. I put baking soda on the central of the lid and caked baking on hot baptize on it. Let that sit for a bit while I abounding the jar with hot water, baking soda and clasp of beginning auto and angry it on it’s lid. I larboard this for the accomplished day.
4. The odour was still apparent (just in the lid). So I rinsed the jars out and let it dry while I took the lids and put it in a basin abounding of alkali and just a bit of water.
5. Soaking in vinegar/hot baptize (50/50) again air dry lid off
6. Soaking in hot baptize with baking soda and alkali again bathe and air dry lid off
7. Application auto abstract to covering central of the lid again blot all day in hot baptize and bathe and borosilicate glass pot lid
8. Application auto rinds and abrading the central of anniversary lid, again absolution it air dry for the day.
9. Abrogation all lids by the window sill, abdomen angry up to insolate for two days. I noticed that I could still that appears to that appears to that appears to that appears to smell a bit of amazon booze afterwards the aboriginal day.
After over 2 weeks, the that appears to that appears to that appears to that appears to smell is now gone. This was a continued process. I anticipate what I’ve abstruse is that it is best to accouterment the pyrex containersseparately from the jar itself. After, abrasion the jar and the lid. I’d leave the jar and just focus on the lid. Afterwards washing, I’d acclaim putting a bit of baking pyrex storage lids? and abundant baptize so that the lid is abounding of this solution. Again bathe it out and try auto abstract and abrading auto rinds into the lid. Again rinsing that out and abrogation it in the sun (or sunniest window sill) to dry for a brace of days.
I’ve heard about application coffee grinds and newspapers to blot odour from the fridge but haven’t approved it myself.

The spacer spool
These are difficult times for young people starting their careers. Can you be a Rotary member and still live in your parents’ basement?
Kristi Breisach, 26, Rotaract Club of Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA: Trying to catch a break as a young professional feels like an uphill battle these days, but joining Rotary or Rotaract is one of the smartest things a recent college graduate can do. Being a Rotarian opens the door to professional connections as you rub elbows with the “adapter spool” of your community. You’ll find great volunteer opportunities, and maybe it will lead to an unexpected professional opportunity.
Garofolo: Our members are facing hard times financially. This isn’t just a young person’s problem. But anyone can make a difference. Some can give more money, some can give more time and muscle, and others can give access to networks. We’re a richer organization when we recognize all of these commitments.
What have you found helpful in your encounters with older Rotary members? Where is there friction?
Jennifer Petrichenko, 30, Rotaract Club of Cloverdale, British Columbia, Canada: I once asked a Rotarian how my Rotaract club could help with an upcoming project, and the event chair told me they could really use help with the coat check. A typical misconception is that Rotaractors are young and inexperienced. Some Rotarians I’ve met have had a hard time comprehending that I’m not a student and I’m in a professional career.
Holly Ransom, 23, Rotary Club of Crawley, Western Australia, Australia: Some of the best spacer spool I’ve encountered have been genuine believers in the capabilities of young people. They were willing to throw their support behind me as a young club president, invest their time in explaining Rotary’s nuances to me, and offer me advice on everything from projects to finding the right people for leadership roles.
What trade-offs are you willing to make when dealing with older Rotary members? What’s a deal breaker?
Krissie Bredin, 28, Rotaract Club of Crosslands, New South Wales, Australia; past RYLA participant: I have no problem with Rotarians targeting business and professional leaders for membership, but if you want to recruit younger members, you need to remember that Rotary has the power to make great leaders. For years I focused on my club’s presidency and major Rotaract projects while my career took a back seat, which could make me a less appealing Rotary candidate. There are so many people who have the time and the passion to make a difference in the world — they just need Rotarians to believe in them and give them that opportunity.

I’ve accepted already that my accommodation
Now, you can adore the alignment allowances of the Easy Find Lids arrangement with the versatility of glass. Like added Easy Find Lids products, Rubbermaid Bottle containers accept lids and bases that neatly backup for bunched storage.

So here’s the jist: I got these two little pyrex accumulator containers the added day and I accept to say, they’re appealing handy. Although small, they are brainless durable.I alone them abundant times. I anticipate my motor abilities aren’t accept and they’re appealing glassy looking. And sleek-looking is something I’m consistently atrocious for in my aliment containers. Borosilicate glass baking tray say my shelves are absolutely active up now is understating things appealing accurate.
I affectionate of ambition they had a see-thru window on the lid/somewhere or at atomic a abode to accomplish a reusable label. But my goodness, they are captivation my hoardings of sunflower, sesame, and beat seeds like champs.
Ball valve
Ball valve is mainly acclimated to abbreviate or on band in the medium, can aswell be acclimated on acclimation and ascendancy of fluid, the brawl valve, harder allowance the v-shaped brawl amount of carbide surfacing with able microburst force amid metal valve seat, abnormally acceptable for fiber, micro solid abstracts such as china automatic recirculation valve. And added adjustable links, brawl valve on the activity can not alone ascendancy the confluence, shunt, and its administration of the average of the switch, at the aforementioned time aswell can abutting any approach and accomplish the added two are connected. This valve shall about be installed in the pipeline.

The Common Types of Valves
The accessory that has control over the flow and adjustment of any fluid is accepted as valve. The action of re-direction and controlling fluid is done by closing, aperture or partially opening/closing the passageway. Most of the valves action this way, about there are few others that action differently, like the thermostatic re-circulating valve. Following are some of the frequently acclimated valves in today’s industry.
As the name suggests, they have only two functions, to open and close the flow of the fluid. Though it may seem like an easy task, the designs are quite complicated. This is why you have to depend on models like FC gate valves for long lasting and quality products. The list of such valves is comprised below.
Choke Valve: Check Valve are generally used in drip irrigation emitters and irrigation sprinklers. Composition disc valves are ideal for applications involving gritty liquids. A clapper valve is a type of check valve which is used in fire fighting. This type of valve is used where high pressure is required, like that in oil wellheads. The function of a choke valve is to control the flow of fluid; the flow depends on how wide the valve is opened. In oil industries, choke valves are generally made of tungsten carbide or inconel.
Gate Valve: Gate valves are so named because the part that either stops or allows flow through the valve acts somewhat like the opening or closing of a gate and is called, appropriately, the gate. The gate is usually wedge shaped. Gate valve is used in almost every industry. As the name suggests, gate valve is closed either by a gate or a rectangular wedge. This type of valve is useful only where flow in a straight line is expected. For throttling purposes this gate valve is not the type. FC gate valve is the most common model of gate valves used now a days. Like for example, renowned manufacturers like Integrated Equipment design FC style gate valves that are made with forged body and slab-gate.
Diaphragm Valve: Diaphragm valves are related to pinch valves, but use an elastomeric diaphragm, instead of an elastomeric liner in the valve body, to separate the flow stream from the closure element. Diaphragm valves, also known as membrane valves are made up of a diaphragm, ports and saddle. Diaphragm valve is used in bio-pharmaceutical companies, for the corrosive and dirty service purposes.
Pinch valve: A pinch valve is a full bore or fully ported type of control valve which uses a pinching effect to obstruct fluid flow. There are a few types of pinch valves based upon application. Pinch valves used for fluids usually employ a device that directly contacts process tubing.
The above mentioned were some of the most common types of valves, there are many more. Whichever type of valve you use or modify, make sure to buy it from reliable manufacturers like Integrated Equipment which designs all components of Wellhead equipment ranging from FC gate valves to tubing heads and spools.Datian Valve

Setting Up a Rotary Table
The procedure I follow is taken from the Machine Shop Trade Secrets book, which I recommend. There are two steps.
First, you want to make sure your part is properly centered on the table. To do that, I clamp the casing head down on the mill table (no special place is needed), put my Indicol indicator holder on the mill spindle, and find some round feature on the part to indicate on. For example, on the plate milling fixture above, indicate on the round boss, or on the center hole. Spin the table and bump the part in until spinning the table doesn't move the indicator.
Second, locate the center of rotation directly under the mill spindle. You can simply use the X and Y table handwheels to do this. Use that Indicol to indicate off of a circular feature you want centered under the spindle.
Turn the indicol around on the spindle and adjust the handwheels until the indicator stays put relative to the spindle position. A Blake Coaxial indicator will make this last even simpler.
When you're rounding partially by cranking a part around on the rotary table, it's really easy to go a little too far and screw things up.
When I applied for an Ambassadorial Scholarship, one of the questions asked of me was, “Where do you see yourself in relation to Rotary in the future?” My answer: “This is for life.” I was already a Rotaractor and the prospect of becoming a Rotarian had always appealed to me.
I definitely have “I need to leave tubing head” days, but I also have “I need to leave my job” days and “I need to leave Toronto” days. Of all those things, I’m least likely to leave the Rotary family.

Glass Food Containers
Some may not anticipate that accumulator pieces for the kitchen are sexy. Who cares about about containers for assortment if you can accept blush mixers and steampunk teapots? But accumulator containers are a practical, accustomed call for all of us, and bluntly I was added aflame to see the abundant pyrex aliment accumulator on affectation at Housewares than about annihilation else.
I'm in the average of switching over from artificial to bottle accumulator containers, so the all-inclusive arrangement of bottle accumulator this year was absolutely exciting. I anticipate that the backfire adjoin artificial has prompted about every bottle and accumulator architect to actualize their own band of accumulator pieces for the kitchen.
Pyrex accumulator bowls and their bottle are still fabricated in Lancaster, Ohio (near area I grew up!). I acknowledge affairs local, and Pyrex bottle aliment containers are still absolutely bounded to me. Their new band of bottle storageware was on affectation at Housewares. It was all still in ancestor form, but it should be accessible soon. I admired the best appearance — it's a bequest to those best fridge containers of the 1950s, with the ribbed glass. The lids to the aboveboard pieces are bottle as well, with ablaze blooming silicone rims and seals http://www.homeasycookware.com/product_1_1.html . They aswell had abundant concoction bowls with pyrex accumulator lids that articulation accessible so you can cascade calmly after demography the accomplished lid off.
Two thumbs up for this stuff; it looks absolutely agitating in person. And accustomed that it's apprehend a actual reasonable amount as well.Uralex makes the iconic French Picardie aerialist (I accept bulk of these in my abode and use them to authority aggregate from algid drinks to hot drinks to affair to candles). Their articles are fabricated out of pyrex bottle oven, which agency that they can go from the freezer to the fridge to the oven. You can bead them on a harder attic and they will not blast a lot of of the time. Their band of bottle storageware is absolutely lovely, and a actual nice shape. It has that solid choleric bottle I adulation in all the Duralex lines. I do anguish a bit about the lids; they are BPA-free and dishwasher-safe, but they attending like they may bastardize in the dishwasher.

These are difficult times for young people
These are difficult times for young people starting their careers. Can you be a Rotary member and still live in your parents’ basement?
Kristi Breisach, 26, Rotaract Club of Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA: Trying to catch a break as a young professional feels like an uphill battle these days, but joining Rotary or Rotaract is one of the smartest things a recent college graduate can do. Being a Rotarian opens the door to professional connections as you rub elbows with the “adapter spool http://www.ychtoil.com/pro_detail_57.html ” of your community. You’ll find great volunteer opportunities, and maybe it will lead to an unexpected professional opportunity.
Garofolo: Our members are facing hard times financially. This isn’t just a young person’s problem. But anyone can make a difference. Some can give more money, some can give more time and muscle, and others can give access to networks. We’re a richer organization when we recognize all of these commitments.
What have you found helpful in your encounters with older Rotary members? Where is there friction?
Jennifer Petrichenko, 30, Rotaract Club of Cloverdale, British Columbia, Canada: I once asked a Rotarian how my Rotaract club could help with an upcoming project, and the event chair told me they could really use help with the coat check. A typical misconception is that Rotaractors are young and inexperienced. Some Rotarians I’ve met have had a hard time comprehending that I’m not a student and I’m in a professional career.
Holly Ransom, 23, Rotary Club of Crawley, Western Australia, Australia: Some of the best spacer spool http://www.ychtoil.com/pro_detail_58.html I’ve encountered have been genuine believers in the capabilities of young people. They were willing to throw their support behind me as a young club president, invest their time in explaining Rotary’s nuances to me, and offer me advice on everything from projects to finding the right people for leadership roles.
What trade-offs are you willing to make when dealing with older Rotary members? What’s a deal breaker?
Krissie Bredin, 28, Rotaract Club of Crosslands, New South Wales, Australia; past RYLA participant: I have no problem with Rotarians targeting business and professional leaders for membership, but if you want to recruit younger members, you need to remember that Rotary has the power to make great leaders. For years I focused on my club’s presidency and major Rotaract projects while my career took a back seat, which could make me a less appealing Rotary candidate. There are so many people who have the time and the passion to make a difference in the world — they just need Rotarians to believe in them and give them that opportunity.

Tubing anchors
The BLACK GOLD Pump and Supply hydraulic tubing anchor is like no other. With our machine shop, BLACK GOLD can re-design a tubing anchor to fit your specific needs. BLACK GOLD developed a new kind of holding efficiency for the hydraulic tubing anchor; by adding a unique O-ring on the piston, more fluid pressure can be retained, allowing for greater holding power. BLACK GOLD'S completely automatic hydraulic tension tubing anchor, utilizes the weight of the fluid column in the tubing string to power the piston in the anchor.
The load reversal from the pump is the dynamic force that moves the hydraulic tubing anchor into tension. Its holding power is designed to resist upward movement against the normal forces encountered in the pumping operation, but will yield to forces beyond normal, that would over-stress the tubing string. This is accomplished by a combination of stuffing box designed features, without the aid of mechanical compensating devices.
Slips are designed to span recesses, and have a 43 degree top tooth angle with a 15 degree bottom tooth angle, which allows the anchor to move down the hole into the proper tension position. The hydraulic tubing anchor should be located as close to the pump as possible to maximize use of the anchor. After the pump is seated and the fluid level in the tubing string becomes higher than the fluid level in the annulus, the tubing will be anchored and the anchor's holding power will be proportionate to the differential of the fluid levels in the tubing, and in the casing annulus. The slips of the anchor are case hardened to a Rockwell 50-60 and the anchor is made out of cold finish 1026 steel.
The mechanical tubing anchor/catcher is designed to prevent the stretch movement of the tubing during the well's pumping cycle; which increases pump efficiency, and decreases rod, tubing, and casing wear. Blowout preventer are two sets of teeth on each slip of the anchor; once set faces upward, the other faces downward. The double-gripping action of the slips, allow the tool to be set with greater tension. The mechanical anchor is operated by turning the anchor to the left, which rotates the slips out into the casing. The anchor is then released by turning to the right.
To learn how to set the proper amount of tension on your tubing anchor, follow Black Gold's simple chart to calculate how many inches of stretch to put into your tubing, considering the conditions of the well.

According to this mobile form of disc, seat and disc change in his itinerary directly proportional relationship. Because this valve open or close the valve travel relatively short, and very reliable cutting function, and due to the change of his seat and disc stroke proportional relationship, is very suitable for the traffic regulation. Therefore, this type of closure cut-off valve and throttle valve is very suitable for as a cutoff or adjusted.
Cut-off valve, belongs to the forced sealed valve, the valve is closed, must be pressure on the disc, to force a sealing surface does not leak. When medium from the disc below to valve, operating force required to overcome the resistance, is stem and packing friction with the thrust produced by medium pressure, close the valve of the force is greater than the force to open the API 6A gate valve, so it's bigger, the diameter of the stem or stem top bending failure will happen.
According to the connection mode is divided into three types: flange connection, threaded connection, welding connection. From sealed valve, cut-off valve above the medium flow direction is replaced by the disc into the valve cavity, then under the effect of medium pressure, close the valve is small, the force and the force of opening valve, the valve stem diameter can be reduced accordingly. At the same time, in the role of media, this kind of valve is tight. Valve three to had rules in our country, the flow of cut-off valve, shall be applied. This valve should be installed to horizontal cut-off valve opens, the disc of the opening height, for 25% ~ 30% of nominal diameter. Flow has reached maximum, said valve to full open position. So stop valve in full open position, should be determined by disc's schedule.
Control valve, the valve is one of the most widely used, it is popular, is due to open and close in the process of sealing surface friction between the small, more durable, opening, manufacturing easy, convenient maintenance, not only suitable for low pressure, and is suitable for high pressure.
Globe valve closure principle is, depending on the valve rod pressure, the valve sealing surface and the valve sealing surface fit closely, prevent medium circulation.
Globe valve only one-way flow of medium, the installation direction. Cut-off valve structure length greater than gate valves, at the same time, fluid resistance is large, long-running, seal reliability is not strong.
Advantages: simple structure, manufacture and maintenance more convenient. Working stroke is small, opening and closing time is short. Good sealing, small friction between the sealing surface, long service life. As the structure of china valve body has a straight-through, straight and right angle type. Straight-through type is the most common structure, but the maximum resistance of the fluid.
Once-through fluid resistance is small, usually for containing solids or the viscosity of the fluid. Right Angle type body use forging, more suitable for smaller drift diameter, high pressure cut-off valve. In the process of opening and closing gate valve sealing surface friction than small, wear-resisting. Usually only one seal face, good manufacturing process, easy to maintenance.

Borosilicate glass storage container
Life After Artificial beatific me a few of their new closed bottle containers with stainless lids to analysis a few months ago, and the containers accept been sitting in the accumulation beside my board forth with added air-conditioned plastic-free articles that companies accept beatific me to test. So today, I assuredly unpacked them from their plastic-free commitment box.Jay doesn’t use artificial pyrex glass food containers abstracts or artificial band and gave them a try. My verdict: they are very, actual cool.
Now, afore I get into my review, I accept to say that you don’t accept to buy new bottle aliment alembic to abundance aliment after plastic. Repurposed jars from foods like spaghetti booze or pickles or peanut adulate plan well. And you can sometimes acquisition secondhand bottle containers at austerity stores, backyard sales, etc. We do all of that. Our refrigerator is bottle jar heaven. But bottle jars are not consistently the adapted size; they decay refrigerator amplitude back they are not stackable; and sometimes, as abundant as we try to abate our appulse by affairs beneath new stuff, it’s just nice to bounce for well-made, durable, useful, and bluntly admirable things.
Here’s what I love…

Plug valve
Plug is closed or plunger type plug valve, the valve by rotating 90 degrees to make fortress of the access point is separated from the body same or spilling, achieve a valve open or closed. Plug of the shape of the plug can be in cylindrical or conical. In the cylindrical plug, the channel is generally rectangular,; In the conical valve plug, the channel into a trapezoid. These shape the structure of the plug valve becomes light, but at the same time also produced a certain loss. Plug as cut off and on the most suitable for medium and diversion, but according to the applicable properties and erosion resistance of sealing surface, sometimes also can be used for throttling.
Plug is a rapid switch plug valve, due to rotating motion with wiping surface, and can completely in the fully open to prevent contact with the liquid medium, so it usually can be used to bring suspended particles of the medium. Plug of another important feature is that it is easy to adapt to multi channel structure, so that a valve can get two, three, even four different port. It can simplify the design of pipe system, reduce the dosage of valve and equipment needed in some of the connection parts.
Ball valve plug body more for the cone, cooperate with the conical hole surface of the body form a seal. Plug valve is to use one of the first valve, simple structure, switch, small fluid resistance rapidly. Ordinary plug rely on highly processed metal plug direct contact between the body and the valve body sealing, so the sealing is poorer, opening and closing force is big, easy to wear.
Soft sealing plug valve commonly used in high corrosive, toxic and harmful medium harsh environment, strictly banned leak, and valve material not medium formation pollution occasion. The body could be selected according to the working medium carbon steel, alloy steel and stainless steel materials. Can be used according to the temperature and the working medium used bushing lubrication materials, good lubrication, sealing pair in the whole working process of the friction coefficient is small, the plug body flexible operation, long service life.
Body design and import and export side window two-channel grooved ring structure, plug in the rotation process, the seal between the sealing pressure ratio in the gradual change, until she reached the fully open or close position, producing enough sealing pressure ratio, sealing deputy achieve zero leakage. Double seal grooves seal ring can make solid liner in the body does not produce displacement, automatic recirculation valve and can absorb trace deformation caused by temperature changing bushing, between liner and plug at the same time produce strong friction, with automatic cleaning function, improve the service life of the sealing surface valve.

Quick-Pak Casing Head
Halliburton’s Quick-Pak casing head is designed to provide a seal or pack-off at the rig floor between tubing or drillpipe and large-diameter casing. The tool can be used on innerstring cementing jobs to hold pressure on the drillpipe/casing annulus, preventing casing collapse and indicating the presence of casing leaks. Other applications include stage-cementing with the tubing elevator cementing system or during normal drilling operations when a surface pack-off is required.
Operation
The Quick-Pak casing head consists of a packer bowl, a cap, and a two-piece inflatable packer element. Ports are provided below the packer for reversing out or circulating the well. The packer is attached to the top of the casing at the rig floor by a Quick-Latch coupler.
Interchangeable adapters allow the same tool to be used with 13 3/8, 16, 18 5/8, and slip spider. couplers. Adapters can also be made for use with other sizes of Quick-Latch couplers. Two slip bowls are available for the top of the tool.
One is a standard-size slip bowl designed according to API Specification 7 that can be used with standard Type B pipe slips. The other slip bowl is shorter and lighter, intended to serve primarily as a guide for the workstring. However, this bowl can also be used with drill-collar slips or when the pipe is resting on bottom. A flange seal groove is provided in case a flange is substituted for the slip bowl. Lastly, a hydraulic spider and slips can be attached to the Quick-Pak casing head as well.
The packer is inflated with a small air-operated hydraulic pump. To inflate the packer, connect the air supply to the pump and shift the valve to the inflate (RET) position. As the hydraulic fluid fills the packer element, the outer element expands and compresses the inner element around the drillpipe, forming a pressure-tight seal.When the packer is inflated, the tubing sub inflation pressure is closed in by the needle valve mounted on the side of the tool. At this point, pressure can be applied to the casing/drillpipe annulus. A hand-operated hydraulic pump is also available as a backup to the air operated pump.http://www.ychtoil.com/pro_detail_18.html

Stuffing Box Packing
A typical packed stuffing box arrangement is shown in Fig. 5. It consists of:
A) Five rings of packing,
B) A lantern ring used for the injection of a lubricating and/or flushing liquid, tubing sub
C) A gland to hold the packing and maintain the desired compression for a proper seal.
The function of packing is to control leakage and not to eliminate it completely. The packing must be lubricated, and a flow from 40 to 60 drops per minute out of the stuffing box must be maintained for proper lubrication.
The method of lubricating the packing depends on the nature of the liquid being pumped as well as on the pressure in the stuffing box. When the pump stuffing box pressure is above atmospheric pressure and the liquid is clean and nonabrasive, the pumped liquid itself will lubricate the packing.
When the stuffing box pressure is below atmospheric pressure, a lantern ring is employed and lubrication is injected into the stuffing box. A bypass line from the pump discharge to the lantern ring float collar connection is normally used providing the pumped liquid is dean.
When pumping slurries or abrasive liquids, it is necessary to inject a dean lubricating liquid from an external source into the lantern ring. A flow of from .2 to .5 gpm is desirable and a valve and flowmeter should be used for accurate control. The seal water pressure should be from 10 to 15 psi above the stuffing box pressure, and anything above this will only add to packing wear. The lantern ring Is normally located In the center of the stuffing box. However, for extremely thick slurries like paper stock, it is recommended that the lantern ring be located at the stuffing box throat to prevent stock from contaminating the packing.
The gland shown in Figures 5 through 8 is a quench type gland. Christmas tree and wellhead equipment, or other fluids can be injected into the gland to remove heat from the shaft, thus limiting heat transfer to the bearing frame. This permits the operating temperature of the pump to be higher than the limits of the bearing and lubricant design. The same quench gland can be used to prevent the escape of a toxic or volatile liquid into the air around the pump.

Setting Up a Rotary Table
The procedure I follow is taken from the Machine Shop Trade Secrets book, which I recommend. There are two steps.
First, you want to make sure your part is properly centered on the table. To do that, I clamp the casing head down on the mill table (no special place is needed), put my Indicol indicator holder on the mill spindle, and find some round feature on the part to indicate on. For example, on the plate milling fixture above, indicate on the round boss, or on the center hole. Spin the table and bump the part in until spinning the table doesn't move the indicator.
Second, locate the center of rotation directly under the mill spindle. You can simply use the X and Y table handwheels to do this. Use that Indicol to indicate off of a circular feature you want centered under the spindle.
Turn the indicol around on the spindle and adjust the handwheels until the indicator stays put relative to the spindle position. A Blake Coaxial indicator will make this last even simpler.
When you're rounding partially by cranking a part around on the rotary table, it's really easy to go a little too far and screw things up.
When I applied for an Ambassadorial Scholarship, one of the questions asked of me was, “Where do you see yourself in relation to Rotary in the future?” My answer: “This is for life.” I was already a Rotaractor and the prospect of becoming a Rotarian had always appealed to me.
I definitely have “I need to leave tubing head” days, but I also have “I need to leave my job” days and “I need to leave Toronto” days. Of all those things, I’m least likely to leave the Rotary family.

Because of ptfe with strong corrosion resistance, stable performance, not easy to aging, low coefficient of friction, easy to shape, size stability, and can be through the fill in, add the appropriate materials to improve its comprehensive performance, get better strength, lower coefficient of friction of butterfly valve sealing material, overcome the limitations of the synthetic rubber, thus represented by PTFE modified polymer materials and their filling materials, has been widely used in butterfly valves, so that the china butterfly valve performance was further improved, making the temperature and pressure range, reliable sealing performance, longer service life of the butterfly valve.
In order to meet the high and low temperature, strong erosion, electric three way control valve industrial applications such as the use of the requirements, the metal sealing butterfly valve has been great development. With high temperature resistant, good low temperature resistance, strong corrosion resistance, strong abrasion resistance, high strength alloy material in the application of butterfly valve, metal sealing butterfly valve in high and low temperature, strong erosion, long life and other industrial fields has been widely used, appeared a large diameter, high pressure and wide temperature range of butterfly valves, so that the butterfly valve technology has reached a whole new level.
Valve in the fully open, has small flow resistance. When open in about 15 , and sensitive to flow control, thus in the area of the regulation of large diameter butterfly valve application is widespread. Because of the butterfly valve butterfly plate movement with a wipe, so most of the butterfly valve can be used in the medium with suspended solids. Based on the strength of the seal, also can be used for powder and granular media. Butterfly valve is suitable for flow control.
Because of the butterfly valve in the pipe pressure loss is bigger, about three times the gate valve, so when choosing butterfly valve, pipeline system is affected by pressure loss should be considered, but should also consider closing the butterfly plate the strength of the pipeline medium under pressure. In addition, still must consider resilient seat materials at high temperatures on the operating temperature limit.
Smaller length and the height of the overall structure of butterfly valve, opening and closing speed faster, and has good flow control characteristics,china valve supplier. The structure and principles of butterfly valve is best suited for production of large diameter valves. When the butterfly valve as a control flow using one of the most important is the right choice of butterfly valve specifications and types, and making it work properly and effectively.

The advantages of gate valves
As a kind of gate valves, all processed with forging material of gate valves are collectively referred to as forged steel gate, forgings materials have A105, F11, F5, 304, 304 l,316, 316 l, etc. Domestic often say forged steel gate valves are normally refers to forged steel gate, small diameter range: DN10 Gate valves work environment.
Forged steel gate valve is suitable for Class150 ~ 2500-29, working temperature to 425 ℃ (carbon steel) or - 29 ~ 500 ℃ (stainless steel) of small diameter pipe, used to truncate or on line in the medium, choose different material, can be respectively suitable for water, steam, oil, nitric acid, acetic acid, oxidizing medium, urea and other media. Applied on the oil pipeline path.
Forged steel gate valve are designed for dalian type reducing, and compared with diameter cast steel gate valves of the flow rate is smaller, but the pressure and temperature range is higher than the cast steel valves, the sealing performance is much better than cast steel gate valves, longer life, the medium flow direction as well as other electric three way control valve is not restricted.
China gate valve installation points
1, installation location, altitude, direction of import and export must comply with the design requirements, should firmly close connection.
2, all kinds of manual valves installed on the thermal insulation pipe, handle down is not allowed.
3, the valve before installing a visual inspection must be conducted. ZhuGanGuan for working pressure is greater than 1.0 MPa and the valve with the function of cutting off, before the installation should be strength and tight performance testing, qualified rear prospective use. Strength test, the test pressure is 1.5 times the nominal pressure, duration of not less than 5 min, shell and packing shall be no leakage of valve shall be qualified. Leak test, the test pressure is 1.1 times the nominal pressure; Test pressure in the duration of the test should comply with the standard of GB 50243 requirements, qualified for damper seal face no leakage.
Forged slab gate valve often ignore the problem of grease injection rate. Note oil, grease gun operator select valves and greasing connection, on the operations. There are two forged steel gate valve: on the one hand, on the quantity is little greasing, sealing surface due to the lack of lubricant and speed up the wear and tear. On the other hand on the excess, resulting in waste. Is that no categories depending on the type of valve, valve sealing capacity of different calculations. Can calculate a seal to the valve size and category capacity, reasonable injection again just the right amount of grease.
Forged steel gate valve often ignore the pressure problem. In the greasing operation, on the pressure gauge half free floating ball type steam trap law changes in peak valley. Or safety valve leakage pressure is too low, seal failure, the pressure is too high, on the lipids within the valve manufacturer jams, seal hardening or sealing ring and valve ball, valve plate lock. Usually fat injection pressure too low, inject grease into the valve at the bottom of the cavity, more commonly occur in the small gate.

Grieving is tricky
Losing a father whom you have no recollection of ever living with is
difficult. Grieving is tricky; I didn't have any obvious close
father-daughter memories to cling to and mull and cry over. Most of my
memories were of stilted meetings and uncomfortable times together. But I
desperately missed him being alive.
As time moved on my grief and anger at his untimely death began to recede. I realised that his affirmation of me from his deathbed had filled a gaping hole of insecurity I had constantly carried around.
To a child a hug says so many things. It tells you that the person hugging you loves you, cares for you. A hug also confirms that you are a lovable being. Months after Dad's death I realised with a jolt that his lack of hugs said more about him than me. My father was not a demonstrative man and I was, therefore, perhaps, a lovable being.
Once I digested this insight my feelings changed from those of a needy child to ones of a very proud daughter. Looking at my father more objectively allowed me to view him clearly: he was a man of few words; he was intelligent, kind and extremely modest. Ironically I began to feel closer to him in death than I had while he was alive.
With this new-found wisdom came the freedom to give up trying so very hard to gain the affections of others and to concentrate on finding me. I shattered the family taboo of silence about the break-up of my parents' marriage. I also felt the need to speak out about the detrimental effect I felt my step-parents had had on my life.
In some ways the consequences have been quite dire and I no longer have contact with my mother. However, Dad's hug had a profound effect on me. It carried me along a path from childhood to adulthood. At last I am my own woman and one who loves nothing better than a good old-fashioned hug.

Oval gear meter
Volare mission control wrote an update yesterday on newly-arrived supply ship and its heaviest cargo: a new Water Pump Assembly to keep ESA's space laboratory columbus running smoothly:
The door to was opened yesterday and everything was found in its place, so nothing got lost on the tokheim pump million km trip from the spacecraft’s launch to docking. The view below of ATV Albert Einstein shows its precious cargo. At the bottom left is the Water Pump Assembly for the Columbus thermal control system.
Here at the Columbus Control Centre we prepared everything to transfer the first important item, the Water Pump Assembly yesterday afternoon. It had to be unmounted and then transferred from the very back of the International Space Station to the Columbus module - 90 kg moved by hand.
Storing the pump was straightforward and with some help from crewmate bennett pump, Luca was able to get the water pump in place without any problems.
This was the first step of a series of activities that will occur over the next few weeks to have the new water pump integrated in the Columbus laboratory’s thermal control system. It took almost six months to have the water pump tested and prepared for shipping into space on ATV-4. After all this effort the controllers at the Columbus Control Centre were relieved and happy at the end of the day.
Meanwhile the Russian supply ship Progress 51P which undocked on 11 June and made room for ATV-4 performed a normal 101.356 m/s deorbit burn today at 12:53 GMT. The spacecraft entered Earth's atmosphere for its planned destruction.
The first thing is to transfer and install a spare Water Pump Assembly that weighs 90 kg on Earth. It was mounted in a special configuration in ATV Albert Einstein’s cargo bay because it is so heavy. The unit is even filled with water and it is the first time we have put such a heavy object on a spacecraft headed to the International Space Station. Once Luca has moved the pump assembly into the Columbus module and we have checked that it was not damaged during its flight, Luca will install it in a lc meter session that will last over two hours.
I remember Luca saying “Wow it’s a big beast, but no problem, I will get it in place” when we were training with the pump a few months ago to learn how to install it. The Water Pump Assembly is part of Columbus’ Thermal Control system which cools all systems and payloads inside the module. Of course, as with many other parts, we always have a spare in case one fails. At Col-CC we monitor and control systems to ensure redundancy day and night.

In praise of hugs
I grew up bereft of hugs. Neither of my parents was the cuddly type.
Greetings involving kissing caused me to wince, and hugging generally
just made me feel awkward.
Then one hug changed all that. One month before my 40th birthday my dad had heart surgery. As he came round, days later, he grabbed me and hugged me so hard I had to push with all my might to keep my head from pressing down on his newly stitched torso.
It was a hug to make up for all those we had never had. Days later as he slowly started to gain strength he told me for the first time ever that he loved me, and through my tears I told him I loved him too.
I began planning how to bake him better – with carrot cakes, victoria sponges, jelly and ice cream. My maternal streak kicked in and I fantasised about wheeling him through the park and feeding him home-made goodies. Then he died.
I felt cheated. All my life I had wondered whether my dad cared for me and loved me – I doubted it. Just as I got proof that he did, he passed away.
My parents split up when I was two years old and, while I had monthly contact with my dad, my bitter stepmother and my father's old-fashioned stiff upper lip meant we never became close. In fact, I used to dread the visits to see him and count the hours until I could go home again.
When I was very little the weekends at my father's house felt cold and unfriendly. During my teens the trips to a hostile house became a dread on the horizon for weeks beforehand. Each stay culminated in an uncomfortable peck on the cheek from Dad as he said goodbye – a moment I cringed about for hours in advance.
And yet standing beside the hospital bed watching the life ebb from my sleeping father was painful. I felt like a little girl at his bedside, unable to talk to him yet again. I became fixated with his fingers – fat and soft, lying gently curled beside him. Slowly they transformed from plump sausages to stone – white and immovable. It was his fingers that told me he had gone from this life, not the bleeping of monitors or the bustling of nursing staff.

Switch from plastic to glass food container
Today i Iwant to show you five good reasons to switch from plastic to glass food container.Looks prettier. glass beauty is the least rational reason to switch from plastic to glass. Glass is simply prettier and more substantial looking than plastic. I wouldn’t dream of putting a plastic container of food on my dining table. Glass food containers retain their crystaline attractiveness forever. Unlike plastic, glass’ non-porous surface doesn’t absorb dyes or colors. You can store Bolognese in pyrex glass bowls one day and put whipped cream in it the next-with no fear of garlicky after notes or greasy red stains.
Keeps food safe. Scientists no longer ask if toxic substances migrate from plastic to food during microwave heating. They ask how much toxins migrate. They ask if you should use plastic to reheat foods for kids, the ill, the elderly. No doubt scientists will continue to duke it out. In the meantime, I prefer to play it safe if not in my house of glass-in a kitchen crammed with glass containers. On another safety note: Glass is cleaner than plastic and it can be safely washed at high temperatures in your dishwasher.
Enhances food flavor. Food simply tastes fresher, cleaner and fuller stored in glass. pyrex glass oven safe, glossy surface repels food odors and residual flavors. And food reheated in glass-whether in a conventional oven or microwave-tastes superior to victuals nuked in plastic. You won’t find plastic’s steamy greenhouse effect-and food has a less soupy consistency and watery mouth feel.
Saves you money.Because glass is usually more expensive than plastic, at first glance, it seems a switch to glass will be more costly. But think about this: Unlike plastic, glass is pretty much a one-time investment. It actually saves you money in the long run.
Eases food prep, serving and clean-up. You’ll find tempered glass food containers:
Reduce food waste-clear containers let you see what’s in the fridge and use up leftovers before they go bad.
Let you safely check food as it reheats-glass’ clarity allows you to see what’s happening without removing food steamer.
Wash-up faster and cleaner-you can safely pop glass into your dishwasher and cleanse at high temperatures.
Future of Gas Stations
What will be the future of Gas stations? Everyone desires to have an effective, fast and clean way to refuel your vehicle. It is really very necessary that the gas stations should be neat and tidy and we should avoid using any flammable thing near these stations which can cause great damage and killing.
Fuel dispenser manufacturer and the supplier are submersible turbine pumps jointly working with new concepts and ideas to bring modern and effective dispensers in the market for easy and better fuelling needs. Today, we have modern and advanced technology dispensers which are operated by several systematic mechanisms and are fruitful to be carried in our future fuel dispensers. Tank calibration system , tank gauging system and fuel management systems are being providing the work of fuel transfer from dispenser to the vehicle efficiently.
Modern technology has provided several benefits to fuel the vehicles in an easier and efficient way. The current mechanism used at the gas stations is far better than the older stations. It is likely to be understood that future gas stations will be better than now with more advanced features to fuel the vehicles rapidly.
In a modern fueling station, the lpg flowmeter mechanisms that provide gas to the pumps are placed beneath the land. The fuel dispensers are usually located in the front at a number of locations at the fuel stations. The dispensers are conventionally set on a side with the attendant who handles the dispenser for fueling the vehicles and is capable to control the pumps for their clients.
Certain fueling stations have attendants who fill the gasoline in the vehicles for the customers. This was habitual when the stations were just established to become popular. Then, there came a time when a vast and greater part of the gas stations which have gradually evolved to a self service plan with the pay at the pump options.
offers small supermarkets in which customers can buy different goods or use the toilet. The greater part sells beverages and snack items and there are many tenders prepared foods and meals for immediate bite on the go. It is also regular to see mechanics, tyre puncture repaired shop and car fix garages at the gas stations, increasing the services offered and provide instant help to combination pump the motorists with their automobile issues at one place.

Price Of A Miracle
Tess was a precocious eight-year-old girl when she heard her Mom and Dad
talking about her little brother, Andrew. All she knew was that he was
very sick and they were completely out of money. They were moving to an
apartment complex next month because Daddy didn’t have the money for the
doctor’s bills and our house.
Only a very costly surgery could save him now and it was looking like there was no-one to loan them the money. She heard Daddy say to her tearful Mother with whispered desperation, “Only a miracle can save him now.”
Tess went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jelly jar from its hiding place in the closet. She poured all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Three times, even. The total had to be exactly perfect. No chance here for mistakes.
Carefully placing the coins back in the jar and twisting on the cap, she slipped out the back door and made her way 6 blocks to Rexall’s Drug Store with the big red Indian Chief sign above the door.
She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention but he was too busy at this moment. Tess twisted her feet to make a noise. Nothing. She cleared her throat with the most disgusting sound she could muster. No good. Finally she took a quarter from her jar and banged it on the glass counter. That did it! “And what do you want?” the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. “I’m talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven’t seen in ages, “he said without waiting for a reply to his question.”
“Well, I want to talk to you about my brother,” Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. “He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle.”
“I beg your pardon?” said the pharmacist. “His name is Andrew and he has something bad growing inside his head and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?”
“We don’t sell miracles here, little girl. I’m sorry but I can’t help you,” the pharmacist said, softening a little. “Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn’t enough, I will get the rest. Just tell me how much it costs.”
The pharmacist’s brother was a well-dressed man. He stooped down and asked the little girl, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”
“I don’t know,” Tess replied with her eyes welling up.
“I just know he’s really sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy can’t pay for it, so I want to use my money.”

Best Glass Food Container
Glass food container are a huge must for any household. While plastic containers are easier to find, cheaper and available in large quantities they also have many disadvantages. In fact there is likely no plus side to using food grade glass food grade buckets instead of platics food storage containers. The most common reasons glass is better are:
Almost all high quality glass storage containers are safe to use in the oven, pyrex storage set,microwave and dishwasher. Lets face it, being able to cook your dinner in the oven, serve it and then put a lid on it to store it instead of scraping the leftovers into a plastic dish is obviously great. Then when the Pyrex glass oven is empty you can toss it in the dishwasher instead of scrubbing it by hand. Can't do that with most plastic!
Finally, general food safety. After a bit of use, plastic containers inevitably get scratches and nicks inside where harmful bacteria can hide. There is always a possibility of food spoiling or making someone sick unless you are meticulous about cleaning the plastic bins and throwing away any older, scratched ones. What a waste!

What a waste!food steamer have a good sealing.
That does not mean glass food storage containers are perfect. There are a few disadvantages as well. Glass is far heavier than the plastic varieties especially the larger containers. This may not appeal to everyone and some may turn to Mylar food storage bags Mylar food storage bags. Then there is the cost factor...the best glass steamer are much more expensive than plastic ones. This is mitigated by the fact the glass lasts much longer. Also sometimes if the lids warp they won't fit any more, and of course glass breaks when dropped. All in all, glass food storage containers have way more benefits than pit-falls.

This may not appeal to everyone and some may turn to Mylar food storage bags Mylar food storage bags. Then there is the cost factor...the best glass steamer are much more expensive than plastic ones. This is mitigated by the fact the glass lasts much longer. Also sometimes if the lids warp they won't fit any more, and of course glass breaks when dropped. All in all, glass food storage containers have way more benefits than pit-falls.
Lc Meter With Frequency
I have been thinking about building an LC meter for a while since I do not have a multimeter that is capable of measuring inductance and while the multimeters I have can measure capacitance, they are not able to give accurate readings for small capacitance in the range of several china lc meter.
There are quite a few good articles on how to build LC meters using PIC MCUs, but instructions on how to build one with an ATmega MCU are few and far in between, although the basic principle is largely the same. So I decided to write this article on how to build an LC meter using an ATmega328p chip and Arduino libraries.
A typical LC meter is nothing but a wide range LC oscillator. When measuring an inductor or capacitor, the added inductance or capacitance changes the oscillator’s output frequency. And by calculating this frequency change, we can deduce the inductance or capacitance depending on the measurement.
The following schematic shows the comparator based LC oscillator I used in the lc meter. The oscillator portion is quite standard. Most of the other designs I have seen use LM311 comparator. But for this type of application, any comparator capable of oscillating up to 50kHz should be more than sufficient. I happen to have some spare LM339′s lying around so I used it in the oscillator circuit.
Because what we are really meausring is the frequency of the oscillator, we can build a frequency meter using the same circuit at almost no additional cost. As you can see in the circuit above, a reed relay is used to switch the measurement from LC mode to frequency mode. In the schematics above, the second comparator forms a Schmitt trigger to condition the input waveform so that the frequency measurement can be made more accurate. When in the LC mode, the frequency output from the first comparator is simply feed through the Schmitt trigger.
For capatance measurement, I have found that it is most suitable for measurement from a few pF to tens of nF. You maybe able to measure slightly larger capacitors if they have a high ESR rating. But this range limit in capacitance measurement should not be submersible turbine pumps an issue as what we care most about is the accuracy in the pF range.
I used this frequency library for the frequency measurement. By default, the display is updated every second. This mode provides the most accurate result. You can shorten this update interval easily, but the measurement accuracy will be reduced.
The Arduino code for this project can be downloaded here. This project was developed using the NetBeans IDE and you may need to adjust the included header files if you are using Arduino IDE. For more information, please see my previous article on this topic.
The calibration method I used is like this: in capacitance measurement mode, the none-load reading is used to calculate stray inductance (assume that C0 is accurate) which is then used to compensate capacitance measurements. And similarly, in inductance measurement mode, we assume that L0 is accurate and the none-load reading (by shorting the test leads) is used to lpg flowmeter stray capacitance which is then used to compensate inductance measurements. If you read through the code you will get a better idea on how this is done.

Selling My Mother's Dresses
I moved from Chicago to Brooklyn in July of 2004, just in time to watch
my mother die. That wasn't why I moved back. She was supposed to be
getting better; the chemo was working. I came because I'd rented an
apartment with Jay, this cute guy I'd started dating, who was originally
from New York too. But a week after pulling up in a U-Haul, I found
myself cleaning out my childhood home with my siblings. Our parents were
both gone now; anything that we couldn't take with us had to fit in a
20-cubic-yard Dumpster.
I could barely squeeze the little I saved into the one-bedroom Jay and I shared. I didn't even try to unpack the boxes of my parents' books, the bags of my mom's dresses. Jay (who held me up at the funeral and painted our place all my favorite colors and quickly proved to be much more than just a cute guy) had to shimmy sideways to get between my father's easy chair and my mother's broken desk. I was claustrophobic from the mountains of photos and misplaced knickknacks, and yet I found myself drawn to someone else's castoffs.
We hadn't lived there more than a month and already I was claustrophobic from the mountains of photos and misplaced knickknacks. So it made no sense when, out walking one Saturday later that summer, something caught my eye — a pale green scrap of fabric — and suddenly I was steering Jay toward someone else's castoffs. My first stoop sale.
Laid out on the pavement was a batik scarf with dangling earrings, glass candle-holders, a small wooden jewelry box, books from Heidegger to Nora Ephron, a videotape of "Risky Business." Draped on the wrought iron fence behind: a tan knit shawl, a few pairs of jeans, a green cotton dress with buttons that looked like the inside of a seashell. I'd never owned anything green, but I had to feel those buttons between my fingers, the cotton so thin it was maybe two washes away from disintegration.

The Best Outdoor Storage Containers
When it comes to outdoor storage containers you need ones that are rugged enough to stand up to the elements that will also last long enough to be considered a value for your money spent. Those are not the only factors to consider, however, as depending on the size involved you will want to find something that will match the theme of your home or at the very least not stick out like a sore thumb.Okay I may be stretching it here but technically outdoor storage buildings are food steamer. I can bet that if you were to think about it for a minute you would remember someone who lives in your neighborhood that has an outdoor storage building that is either dilapidated looking or comes nowhere near matching the style and color of their home. Something of this nature could actually make your property value drop, especially in this day and age of people being so anal about any small detail they can leverage price in their favor on.
I think the best ones are the ones made like the glass steamer in the picture above where they are not huge and can be placed on a concrete slab along the side of the home. They allow you to store your plastic garbage cans and even enough space for things such as gardening tools and supplies. A glass food container such as pyrex glass oven could can easily be chosen in a color that blends with your home and will last for years keeping your stored items out of the elements.
Many outdoor storage containers are made fro either using full sized shipping containers or ones that have been modified and cut down in size. They make great long lasting storage buildings, but can look a little out of place so be sure to really put some thought into that aspect when making this purchase. The best attribute of these is that they were made for hauling freight so they are built to lat and are easily modified to fit your needs. Are you big into storing a lot of frozen meats and goods then you can convert a shipping container into an outdoor walk in freezer. They even use these to convert into firewood kilns as well. Check out these cooking pot lid of their many faces.
In the future be sure to look for some posts more specific on how you can go about converting these great little outdoor storage containers into one that fits your needs. As you can see there are many options available that will allow you to store anything outdoors and still keep your property looking nice with a proper flow between the home and the outdoor storage containers. Sometimes you just have to think outside of the box!
