Cut vac bags/spiral tubing

Found another catch pot.

Old catch pot has gauge that is intact but the pot leaks.

New catch pot might not be leaking but has a busted gauge.

Swap the gauges?

Test Catchpot for Leaks

• created vacuum bag and sealed a cf sample

• clamped catchpot and left it for 15 min, was able to hold pressure

• added soap to the catchpot (inlet and outlet) and found no bubbles

• pressure was constant throughout the 15 min we left it on, at around -28inHg

• although gage pressure was constant, when we unclamped the catchpot we heard a hissing sound at around -15inHg

• the tube clamps and tubes were not compatible so we had to use tacky tape to close of any gaps

• used the catchpot valve to clamp for 15min. Did not have a clamp strong enough or big enough to clamp the tube we used

Drill 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch holes into the foam

• successfully drilled the holes into the foam

• left it near the rest of the materials for resin infusion

Image Added

• took an excessive amount of time, thought of CNC a mold or 3d print a plastic stamp to make it easier next time
