What we’ve done so far… • A fluid dynamics model to calculate leakage • A method to set pass/fail limits for roughness • A Quality Control machine to recommend • A sales representative contact at Dymek • A test plan • Polishing materials ordered http://www.veeco.com/products/Metrology_and_Instrumentation/Optical_Profilers/Wyko_NT9300/
Test plan • Speed, Time, Pressure, and Direction tests will be conducted with Course Grit Ruby stone
After testing • Measuring Roughness and Roundness at the NHMFL. • Set parameters and tolerances for the surface profiler. • Incorporate a fluid dynamic model for roundness measurements.
Roughness and Roundness http://www.taylor-hobson.com/faqrounddetail.php?faqid=44
Fluid Dynamic Models • Capillary Seal • Models flow around two concentric cylinders. • Perfect model for the measurements of flow between the plunger and plunger body.
Fluid Dynamic Models • Spherical Step Bearing • Measures thin film flow around a spherical check valve • Used to measure the flow rate between the check ball and the plunger.
What we still need • Carry out polishing tests at GT Tech and machine shop • Analyze samples at NHMFL • Fluid dynamic model for roundness • Combined model that calculates leakage given roughness and roundness
Last minute ideas • Change from stainless steel ball bearings to high temperature rubber Viton™ • Rubber will allow some deformation to form to the surface of the seat • Could potentially eliminate the need for polishing Image from www.smallpartsinc.com
