Dwyer gauge
There is some talk of using a Dwyer gauge
. What model number is the one you use? I looked on the website but did not know what I was looking for. Thanks.

Re: Dwyer gauge
Henry, a Dwyer Model # RMC-121 is a good choice.
10" tall and a 1 to 10 CFM flow rate. Its around $100. |

Re: Dwyer gauge
To measure blow by on the dyno.

Re: Dwyer gauge
That isn't really practical, if it is even possible. It has to be mounted perfectly vertical, and it uses a steel ball to measure flow, so you'd have various G forces acting on it, preventing it from working correctly. Its pretty much a dyno only device. There are some "blow by" or "crankcase pressure" sensors on the market, but they're not cheap.

Re: Dwyer gauge
Is a Dwyer gauge the same as a manometer? I made one years ago for use in testing outdoor power equipment engines.
Maybe it's not precise enough in this case, but here's one similar to the one I made: http://www.obairlann.net/reaper/moto...manometer.html |
