General Discussion / Re: Site layout
Last post by Hoopty - 10-03-2022 -- 08:49:40Hey guys,
Yeah, it's a work in progress for now as the old theme didn't work with the updates.
I've been trying to update/upgrade for a while now, but the only way was to kind of start from scratch. The old forum was out of date and broken, so I bit the bullet and got started this weekend.
My plan is to get it close to what it looked like before, but expect some changes overall.
If there is a feature or something I'm missing, now is a good time to ask. No promise, but I'll do what I can.
Anyway, be patient and it'll get better.

K5/6 - Physical Dimensional / Re: General Eastern C-1 RH Gen...
Last post by OlDave - 08-12-2022 -- 20:05:38Just a thought....Are you using the standard short little teflon tube from the chamber to the chilled mirror? It has been my experience that tubing like that is semi-permeable to water vapor. I had much better luck with very low dew points if I switched to copper tubing.

K5/6 - Physical Dimensional / General Eastern C-1 RH Generat...
Last post by Hawaii596 - 07-29-2022 -- 14:41:59If anyone has substantial experience using the General Eastern C-1 RH Generator (with General Eastern HYGRO M2 / 1111H-SR Chilled Mirror), this is for you.
The rated specification is 0 to 95%RH for the C-1. The 'new' replacement model C1M (which looks like it is the same instrument) is specified from 10 to 95%RH.
I am wondering if anyone who has used this system substantially has ever been able to set it for 0%RH and actually reach that setpoint. I have been experimenting, including the addition of dry Nitrogen at the input of the C-1 (at OEM recommended flow rate of 8 SCFH). I have the test chamber properly sealed, with the prescribed very slight leak at the edges to maintain neutral barometric pressure.
I want to know if this system was over spec'd and just can't reach 0%RH, or if a well working system will actually reach that set point. The fact that they changed the operating range on the new version makes me wonder if the original model was overspec'd and could never actually reach 0%RH. Or are there system maintenance things I need to do to get my C-1 to reach full specs.

Last post by ktaylor - 07-27-2022 -- 09:42:03bump
I am leaving to tackle a new opportunity. As Lead Metrologist and defacto Lab Manager, Mobile Instrument Company has been a great experience and opportunity for me. Located in beautiful southern Alabama, I cannot stress the advantages of the flexible work schedule here. No, you can't work 3rd shift or anything like that, but if you have a doctors appointment on a random Tuesday, you can work early or late the other days to make up for the time, or come in on the weekends. Need to take a random day off for the kids, or just because you want to (beach)? Talk to them, depending on workload, you can probably work it out throughout the week, to save your vacation time.
Family-orientated, Christian business. Even though I am leaving, it was an extremely hard decision.
If you have any interest in moving to the northern Gulf Coast, contact Ed Wynn at [email protected] and have a conversation.
If you have any questions that you'd rather run by me before sending in a resume, feel free.
Everyone is great, except Darrin. Darrin is one of the smartest electronics guys you'll meet... but if you ask him what time it is, he'll tell you how to build a watch. You've been warned.
