Week 10

Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.

• • Testing: One last test to determine calibration coefficients to input in flow meter. 

  • Fabrication: Final mounting devices sent to Greg to be 3D printed

  • Poster: Draft finished, awaiting comments. 

  • Final Report: Revisions made based on peer edits.

Accomplishments from Previous Week

• • Tested out 2 different 3D printed mounting devices and adjusted for a final mounting device design. 

  • Performed testing of 6 different pipes of varying diameters and thicknesses with the mounting devices. 

  • Determined 0.5 inch diameter with 0.2 inch thickness was most accurate and ideal. 

Goals for This Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.

• • Ascertain if current CMA housing will hold the new flow meters (Jun)

  • 3D print and assemble the final mounting devices (Scott & Zeeshan)

  • Research digital filtering (Becky)

Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments

• • Focus on putting together a final prototype - in progress. 

  • Hinge not necessary on mounting device - completely new mounting device designed.

Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments

• • Helical inserts instead of screws - will purchase as soon as final mounting devices are printed and usable.

  • Digital filtering - Becky is researching and is in charge of filtering

Risks and Areas of Concern

• • Flow meter will not fit into current housing [310 mm (length) x 145 mm (width) x 165 mm (high)]

Resources or Information Required but not Available

• • n/a

Schedule

• • Week 10

    • Determine if flow meter will fit into current housing (Tues.) 

    • Assemble final 3D printed mounting devices (Wed.)

    • Final calibration test on 0.5 in. diameter and 0.2 in. thickness stainless steel pipe with final mounting devices (Tues. & Wed.)

    • Presentation to sponsors (Thurs.)

  • Finals Week

    • Poster Presentation (Wed.)

Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)

• • Spent: $60

  • Remaining: $940

Progress on Report and Webpage

• • Report revised as per comments from peer review. Waiting for final calibration data to determine slope and y-intercept coefficients.

  • Webpage all up to date.
