Introduction

This is the introduction to the level and flow rig wiki page.


Rig Problems

As with any design, there are a couple of fundamental problems with the design of the level and flow rig. This section is used to document these problems that, should the need to ever rebuild the rig arise, the persons responsible can have a complete list of all the pitfalls of the previous design so that they can attempt to correct them.

1) There is no way to drain the system. Valves to drain the system should be included to allow one to remove/replace equipment without causing a spill. 2) Some of the pipe segments are too short. If the pipe segments are too short then it makes it difficult, and in some cases impossible, to fix leaks using plumbers tape.
