Re: Diamonds are Shay's Best Friend.....

While wondering around in the shop looking for something else, I found a stack deflector cone under a wookbench. This is what one looks like upside down. When inside the stack, the point is toward the exhaust coming up the inner stack pipe.


Also. the guys were giving WM Shay #6 a hydrostatic pressure test. I've always used modern electric pumps for this. Here at Cass we use the old school method. This pump is a modified 9 1/2" air compressor with a high pressure pump on the bottom end. This way 110 lbs of air pressure can make 250 lbs of water pressure to test the boilers.
