Dwyer Mark II Manometer

Straihgt in is good.

With the tube unplugged it should read zero. The level should be level. Idling it'll read -.01 to -.03ish. While running it'll be -.03 or -.04. If it gets much higher on a regular basis then you might end up doing what I had to do.... add another damper!

ty guys,
were can i find some weights for the baro?

Just add a washer under the weight....and adjust accordingly. Also, after a month or two, check the back of the baro and keep it clean, a small nylon(toothbrush) or brass brush to clean the ash off of it works good.

This is funny. :lol:

I see this posted many, many times and it never fails, "oops put to much in". I'm willing to bet probably better than 50%, including myself have overfilled them.

yeah good thing there is plenty of oil in the kit.

ps: if you tip it back to try and soak some out carefull it will empty out the high port.

on a digital mano do you have to set it to read diff and close one of the ports?

While moving, all of the red oil leaked out of my manometer. I mixed some kerosene with 30 weight motor oil until it looked like it would be about the same viscosity os the original oil.

I looked on line for oil and found what was I think was a half pint. The cost with shipping was high enough that I did not order it.

Do you think red food coloring would stay mixed with my home brew of maono-oil? Of course I will have to buy red food coloring. I have little need for it in my cullinary preparations. Baking a frozen piza does not require red food coloring.

Yes,light and red. Is it a different viscosety than gauge oil ? I believe it is fairly close, and seem to remember someone else making mention of using it.

If your specific gravity of it is around .826, then it should work.

Thanks guys. Good tip.
