I see 5Z keft his bubble in!
If the compass gets a big bubble inside can you replace the big bubble with a little one? If so where do you buy them and are they calibrated for size and expansion rates? Are they the same bubbles you get in spirit levels? K Ok wher do you buy the bubbles? Are they calibrated in any way?arted At 02:44 23 August 2008, Darryl Ramm wrote: On Aug 22, 7:07=A0pm, 5Z wrote: On Aug 22, 7:10=A0pm, Darryl Ramm wrote: It might blow a gasket if filled all the way due to hot temperatures and no expansion space. If it was altitude related leaving a larger air bubble would make problems due to pressure differential at altitude worse not better. Right? That makes sense, but since I've refilled mine, leaving the air bubble in there, it hasn't leaked. =A0Go figure. -Tom Tom, I was not disagreeing with your instructions, just the reasons you gave for doing so. My understanding is the air bubble is critical for fluid thermal expansion on the PZL since unlike some compasses they have no form of pressure relief diaphragm etc. Darryl |
