What gauge should i use if i want to start stretching my ear lobes?
Q. After long consideration I've decided to start stretching my ear lobes. But the only problem is i don't know what gauge my ear was pierced at or what gauge i should move onto. I'm going to say that my ear was pierced at a 22. So should i move to a 16, 18, or 20 gauge?

A. You shouldnt stretch it too big since its your first time. I tried going bigger right away and its not the best idea. If you think your at a 22 then check out the 20's if they look like they'll fit go for an 18. And definately do it right after a really hot shower. You skin will stretch a lot better.

What gauge steel is best for medieval armor?
Q. I want to get a functional suit of armor (for various reasons). As you may know, suits of armor are incredibly expensive especially if they are wearable. I notice there are many different suits with different gauges of steel. I want the armor to absolutely be as strong as possible, I want to be able to hit it with the claw of a hammer and have the armor be untouched. What is the best gauge?
Asked by Donc je suis - Wed Jun 10 01:53:12 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. 14 and 12(2.0mm) are best I would go for the 12 with what you want to do, it probably wouldn't remain untouched with a good hit, but you don't want it too heavy. for my armour I wouldn't use anything less that 14(1.6mm) but you could get away with 16 (1.2mm) but it wouldn't be up for heavy punishment.

How do I stretch an 18 gauge to a 14 or 12 gauge? Is a 12 gauge permanent or does it heal up completely?
Q. I currently have regular 18 gauge piercings and want to put a 14 or 12 gauge plug in them...how should I do this and is it permanent or will it heal up completely with no marks when I decide to take them out?
Asked by Davy Jones - Wed Jun 4 05:17:50 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. 00 gauge is the point of no return to stretch your ear use the taping method there's a special kind of tape you can get at any hardware store, every few days wrap the tape around the plug you currently have until you stretch it to your desired size the taping method doesn't cause scar tissue or tearing, so it's the best and safest way to stretch your ears it isn't permanent, like i said if you go to a 00 which is big, that's the point where it won't close back and you would have to get surgery DON'T use tapers that's the easiest way to get scar tissue and everything, and don't stretch too fast allow healing before stretching bigger

What type of gauge can be put into a water path to measure exit pressure?
Q. I am doing a six sigma project at work, and I need to verify exit water pressure. The water exits two acrylic nozzles (.250" in diameter), and I would like to find some type of gauge that will measure the exit water pressure. To calculate it mathematically would be to difficult. The number of variables that would need to be measured would be to large. However, I have the hypothetical gauge in my mind that has a wheel of some sort that when placed into a water path will spin and tell what the exit water pressure/speed/force etc. Need some help with this.
Asked by savmitch1 - Wed Oct 3 15:25:26 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Since you are dealing with water, which is non-compressible, exit water pressure is equal to the pressure of the container it exits to. If it is exiting out to atmosphere, the exit water pressure is atmospheric. If you want to find the pressure of the water before the nozzle(s), fit on a pressure gauge in your line. That shouldn't be too hard. Just find out the source pressure (tap water? approx. 25-40 psi I think) and drop a few pounds due to line losses. You don't have to put a gauge in the water path, as pressure acts on all surfaces equally. If you do a finite element analysis of the piping to the nozzle, it'll become apparent. A gauge near the nozzles should be adequate for your application.

What does an 8 gauge piercing look like without the earring in it?

A. Usually 8g piercings look like slightly stretched ear piercings without jewelry. Think of a regular ear piercing, how it makes that little round hole. Now imagine it slightly larger. An 8g stretch isn't going to just hang there completely open to full size unless you had it punched out at that size which is unlikely or you have particularly thin, dangly ears which is also unlikely. People may notice it and ask you what happened to your ears, but its not going to be a case of people being able to look right through your lobe with no jewelry in place. It will just look like something a little strange happened to your regular ear piercings. If you stop wearing 8g jewelry all together, odds are your piercing will close up more in a few… [cont.]

How can I adjust the fuel gauge on an oil tank?
Q. The fuel gauge for my oil tank, a Granby, is off by about 1/4 of a tank. Everytime the oil company comes to fill it, the gauge stops at a little over 3/4 of a tank; and, yes, I can do the math and realize that when it's near "E", there's really only 1/4 tank left of oil. BUT, I still want to adjust it. Is this something I can do myself, and if so how, or should I just have the oil company do it? Oh, the guage is on top of the tank. It's a glass tube with a disc attached to the top of a tiny rod inside that gradually lowers as the oil is depleted.

A. I would be most likely to fault the sending unit in the tank. The float may be stuck in the down position, or just a unit that is not sending the correct resistance value to the gauge. Your dealer will have the proper variable resistance tester to hook to the gauge wiring to test whether the gauge is actually bad or not receiving the proper signal from the sending unit.

Most great soloists play .09 to even .11. Work slowly when changing the action at the bridge to get it just right before it starts to buzz and check the neck for straightness, as well as intonation by moving the individual saddle pieces forward or back to get the 12th fret in tune with the open. Go to wikipedia or Google for further explanations on intonation, guitar action, and truss rod on neck. P.S. Remember, don't buy anything less than .09 if you want to keep a great sound.

A. if you want your ears to close up eventually, you shouldnt be stretching them at all (its called stretching, not gauging) and there is no way of answering this. i know people who are at a size 2, can take out their jewelery, and within a day they cant get it back in because their ear has shrank back down. but then i know other people who can get to a size 12, take it out for months, and then can put it back in like the jewelery was never even removed. everyones ears have a different breaking point.

What gauge pressure must the pump develop for there to be any flow at all?
Q. Gauge Pressure Question? Not having much luck at all with this one. Water is to be pumped through a 10.6 cm diameter pipe over a distance of 285 m. The far end of the pipe is 21.1 m above the pump and is at normal atmospheric pressure. What gauge pressure must the pump develop for there to be any flow at all?

A. If it is a straight with no friction, then it is true that the pump will pump at 21.1 m head that is 30.003 571 353 pound/square inch pressure. [21.1 meter of head = 2.109 459 825 9 kilogram-force/square centimeter ] But in practical, you have to consider head loss due to friction through the piping network. Head loss due to friction =friction factor x length of pipe x velocity^2 ] / [2 x g x diameter of the pipe] Here, you have to consider the equivalent length of pipe , that is considering all pipe fittings [ elbow,tee,valves,reducers , etc ] Some of the formula you may find useful : 1.Pressure= rho* g * head Pressure = 1000 * 9.81 * 21.1 [ kg/m^3 * m/sec^2 * m] Pressure = 206991 kg sec^(-2) m^(-1) Pressure = 206991… [cont.]

Can you lower the gauge on nipple piercings?
Q. I took mine out almost a year ago. I can put through an 18 gauge piercing on both. I want to lower it to a 14 gauge (the lower the gauge, the larger the piercing). Has anyone done this before? Any tips on how long to hold each in (the 18, then a 16, working down to the 14)? Thanks. Serious responses only please.

A. i don't know if this helps. I stretched my tongue from a 14 to an 8. What i did was got to a larger size for about 2-4 weeks then larger size for 2-4 more weeks, etc. It will hurt at first but should work. Good luck.

into the case gauge remember the gauge is machined to the minimum SAAMI specs Nothing wrong here this is the expected behavior given the case has been fired but not yet resized Here is a factory cartridge inserted into the case gauge The case gauge is machined with a high step and a low step The shoulder of the cartridge rests against the machined shoulder in
