Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Testing: Diameter & Mounting Device tests in progress.
Fabrication: Created two different mounting devices via the 3-D printer
Poster: In progress
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Finished analysis hour-long tests on both flow meters.
Performed tests on the effects of signal strength and number of bounces for the flow meters.
Came up with several designs for mounting devices & voted on top two. Made CAD files of parts.
Created 3-D printouts of mounting device parts.
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Perform tests on pipes of different diameters. (Scott)
Perform tests with mounting devices on pipe. (Zeeshan)
Compare mounting device data to test rig data. (Jun)
Research information on underwater housing. (Becky)
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments
Begin testing with different pipe diameters - Testing in progress.
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments
Find relationship between pipe thickness and suggested diameter - Still in progress.
Began researching more on digital filtering.
Risks and Areas of Concern
3D printouts may not be as accurate as current test rig for measurements. Needs more testing to evaluate.
Resources or Information Required but not Available
Equations used for Flexim calculations.
