Thanks for your help I appreciate it

This is a design I already made it and I will scrap it without wasting more money and time on it
It has many flaws and its not even completed
I have not attached the the
3 quarter of an inch threaded pipe
I would have to weld this
so that the hose is connected to the atomizer
---------------------------

This is what I have purchased
http://www.ronapw.ca/3000.html
The hose from the machine is attached to a
3 quarter of an inch threaded pipe

2.5 inches thick, hollow, and about 12 inches in diameter

I try to follow this plan and that took me off track
I dont need 2.5 inch think pipe because the 3 quarters of an inch is what the machine is using
Also that

A few month ago I tried this with regular plumbing pipes and it was very difficult to have a round shape connected by threads like this model
At some point the threads stop turning and you cant fully screw the parts together

I like that design and I agree with Barren about connecting the 2 ends
But I don't want another design that is similar to this

If I am not wrong
with a small adjustment the 2 ends can be connected
I will work on this later
Thanks again
 
You could make this full circle with a pipe union, the difficulty is in keeping the frame small and alignment right with off the shelf threaded nipples.

To keep this in a small circle you are correct. However if you heat the pipe and bend it around something to make the circle and then drill and tap the pipe where you want the port's that might be possible.

I modified your design

I dont know how the last pipe will fit in there
Last time as I said it didnt want to fit in and I got it in there partially
and the positioning of the nozzles was a bit difficult to adjust

I would prefer to have every thing ready to assemble without doing any kind of work on the pipes like making the threads for the nozzle.

So I will write to Mcmaster and see what they say because locally its difficult to find a supplier and if I can have everything from there quickly than I will be happy about that
If I can have the thickness of the pipes at 3 quarters of an inch I think that will be OK
It not the size scraperAW used in his plan

I will let everyone know what Mcmaster says

I just wrote to Mcmaster
Hi
I would like to make something that looks like this in stainless steel
It will be used as an atomizer
I would need the following
3 elbows
5 tees
8 niplles
4 nozzles( these will fit into the 4 tees)( full cone spary nozzle)
the diameter of the atomizer will be approx. 12 inches
I am looking forward to hearing you soon
I was at your site but I am not sure exactly what parts to order.
Thank You

I was on youtube to try learn about this powerwasher
I learned that the engine parts are plastic which is bad
I paid close to 700 dollars and someone bought a broken one for 50 dollars
Anyway I will go on craiglist and see if I can find a used one otherwise I am going to keep it
also I they supplied oil with the machine and there is nothing about that in the manual can someone tell me where the oil goes

I went to the craiglist web site and there is nothing like this here so I am going to keep it
Its a bummer that the engine parts are plastic but what can I do
Thanks
 
The oil is for the gas engine, so be sure and get it put in before you start the engine or you will be buying a new one. You will find the plug to put the oil in at the bottom of the engine on one of the sides.

Your modification will not work as there is no way to thread in the last piece in the assembly. That's the purpose of the union they couple with a nut and don't need to rotate the pipe to seal.

Do you have a hydraulic shop near you?

If you must have a full ring this may be easier to accomplish with stainless steel hydraulic compression fittings. You would need the 5 tee's but the corners would be bent pipe.

I think I will try your original design
http://goldrefiningforum.com/phpBB3/download/file.php?id=6518&t=1
If it does not work I will try to find an alternative
Thanks

If you are not able to get the material to build this let me know and I will see what I can do for you since I have most of the material to build one. I am going to take a guess that you can build this out of 1/2" piping and possibly even 3/8" piping. It does not have to be made out of SS pipe it can be built out of black or galvanized pipeing. I have run hydraulic lines out of black pipe so it should hold up to what you are wanting to do.
 
HI Barren
I sent you an private message but it didn't go to you
I must have done something wrong
I would be interested in an atomizer and if you have the parts and the nozzles that would bve good
The only thing is galvanized steel when its welded forms rust so if I can avoid that it would be good but
scrapper said that he just runs the water a bit before he uses his atomizer
If you can give me a price maybe I can order this from you
Thanks very much

Let me see what I can do for you, I need to get some project's finished for some people before I can get it built and see how well it will work.
 
Hi Barren
Thanks for taking the time to answer
My preferred choice is stainless steel but I can also go for galvanized steel and black pipe.
An important thing to note is the part where the hose is attached to the atomizer because on end of the hose fits the machine and if you try to use the other end it doesnt fit it I dodnt know how that works
So I tried to fit the part that is attached to the gun and that is where the atomizer will be attached to the machine and it doesnt fit in there maybe its the threads
I did this just to test
Maybe on the manual it will talk more about this

Thanks again

Yes if you would let me know what size pipe thread that it will be attaching to.
 
Hi Barren
I do want to have this thing made that's for sure
the size of the pipe on the gun is what I just measured with my gauge that is what I would need


22mm(that would be 7/8 of an inch)(OD outside diameter)
http://www.mcmaster.com
On this site I don't see this size along with other standard measurements but I think that would be pretty exact


The length of the pipe is 3/4 of an inch

the threads are CW
If you want give send me your e-mail by private message

Thanks

HI Barren
Any news about the atomizer
Click to expand...

Waiting on info about the crucibles being used and other questions that were asked. Decisions on this have to be made before I can desighn and build it. You can't just build something without knowing the details of the material being used.
 
Not yet, it will be the latter part of the week before I get to it. I will have to desighn the stand to hold the crucible when it is selected. Then the atomizer and how to hold it in place. I will post pictures when I get something strated on it. But I still have 3 other projects in front of it.
