I finally got to test out the famous myth that when your mount your valves on the bag it is faster then when on the tank.

Well I think this will speak for itself,



That is a Diff of 2" :eek:

Everything the exact same 100PSI same length line same fittings same valves same valve orientation same everything!

I will be the first to admit I was not expecting this dramatic of a result.

So....myth


:haha:

that wasnt a myth, its simple physics, the less something has to travel the faster it gets there.....

I didn't know it was a myth, i thought it was common knowledge

But cool project

Well I never knew that it made a difference, never really cared though. But thanks for the info, I may move my valves closer now.

i for one would like the see a gauge r&r study on your test.

Did you only do this 1 time each way?

because you need at least 10 times each way, and at least 3 operators (people pushing the switch) for it to be considered an event.

Sorry, i get caught up, i test shit for a living.

i am concerned though about the image.



notice the chain rapped around the legs of the cart?

Why is it in the "left" picture, the chain is already in a lowering or, falling position?

But we see in the "valves on bag" study, that the chain is obviously still moving upwards?

We need a high speed camera and some video mang.

I'm not aruging any point, just having some fun.
