"Can anyone give me some insight into how the apprenticeship works with the Atlanta union local 72?"

You go to the job four days out of the week, and to the school for the fifth. I'm pretty sure...

JCI/York, Carrier, Siemens, and Honeywell are most likely still union shops, considering they all have national labor agreements with the UA. There are also several fairly large mechanical outfits,...

I will take another look at them, considering the last time I looked at them was at least five years ago....I also waited until two years ago to get a smartphone...

I honestly don't require a...

And another point:

By choosing to not do anything, you are placing a heavier burden on the ones that do...

Why would I hang around to fight for an ideal if the vast majority of the ones around...

What we lack are Statesmen. Giving up power has been done before, even when there was no rule to say otherwise.

We can either choose to be engaged in civil debate and discourse, or we can...

those controllers have issues, and it's honestly not worth the hassle. i recommend swapping it out for something you are familiar with.

Yeah, but it may take a new party to get term limits...

I work with a lot of digital equipment.

Wrenches and screwdrivers get lost or stolen, and digital gauges look an awful lot like overkill to me.

Spend your money where you think you need to,...

You've obviously invested more in this than I have ever even considered...

I'm not going to continue an argument with you over how accurate or robust the equipment you own is, because I don't own...

I don't know about that... That might have been the case in the past 10/15 years, but now I think more people are paying attention. I think, moving forward, both parties have some serious soul...

i will argue that what you are calling parallax is just the difference in opinion on where that needle is on the dial... unless you have a gauge graduated in 1 psi increments, there will most likely...

I just wanted to get a point across to the OP that the trade doesn't require that much of an initial investment on a gauge manifold to be a successful tech.

By the way, if we aren't working on cryogenic processes with these gauge manifolds...we're really taking this discussion to far...and if we are, we're probably not going to be using them...

So...

Why would I adjust the screw afterward? The gauge will will read 0 psig in the same manner as 57.5 psig...

if you didn't adjust at atmospheric pressure, you wouldn't be accounting for elevation...

We all make mistakes... Especially when we don't thoroughly understand what we are doing in the first place...

The guy was a virtually unknown political element before he stepped into the ring,...

I don't have anything against the digital gauges... Other than my frugal nature.

Now, just present me with the parameters for how we're going to compare and measure said accuracy on said system...

Ha, this is hilarious...

Lets parlay and add full retail market price for each others gauge set...

I'm gonna be laughing about the gig all the way through, but unless you just turned over a...

And to comment on your observation concerning detecting leaks with an analog gauge set, yes, that is an exercise in futility... Providing you're always attempting to do so with a manifold gauge set...

I can get on board with the inherent 0.5% accuracy, and the 0.75% scale accuracy... but, parallax error from the lens...c'mon man... the face of the gauge is maybe 8mm below the lens...and it just a...

On the contrary, I completely understand... That being said, you can typically always spot the guy that is the "reader", since he is usually the one running the job...

That doesn't mean he didn't...

What is your point...?

Have you not figured out that if you don't do it yourself, you're getting ripped off...

Last time I walked into a school they were still teaching from books...do all the...

As many times as required by the load condition... Load condition being the primary objective...

Why are you concerned with this?

Just take your Ritchie manifold and put a set of 410a gauges on it and be done with it...maybe $35 worth of parts...

What does a digital set of gauges do for...

I sort of figured it needed to be an EcBos, but I thought I would ask anyway...
