TooL or ToY?
I have never used one or seen one used. Does anyone use an electronic sight glass indicator? Looks kind of cool, but how useful are they really

Its made my Tif, you do the math.
If more government is the answer, then it's a really stupid question.

We used one briefly in HVAC school. I believe it measures differential density.
I guess you could use it to really tune a system.
In our case, a sub who knows nothing about our application would work on the system and promptly render it nonfunctional, so it's pointless.

The last place I worked required us to use them.That worked for about 15 mintues.They are ok but I just used subcooling/superheat to charge em up.
Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.

Cool.
I've spent a good bit of time in that area in the last year, especially around Harrisonburg.
I've got a big install near H-burg one weekend in April & then my usual jaunt up into WV for PMs.
I love the drive up 33 thru GWNF, along the river. I've even considered taking my tent along & camping @ Lost River.

a great tool to eliminate guesswork when it comes to flashing gas at the metering device.

I'm glad you like the drive.
What are going be doing in H-burg?
Stop by Grand Caverns on your way through. If you like commercial caves, this is a must see, it is highly decorated.
I like big bend better than Lost River. You do have to make reservations though. http://www.fs.fed.us/r9/mnf/rec/rog_...campground.htmKarst means cave. So, I search for caves.

I've had one for years and they do work great on oil lines. They also work on refrigerant lines, but not any quicker than checking superheat or subcooling.

Karst,
We're installing a 50 ton LCO2 tank. Coordinating with the prior supplier, who is removing their old tank. I went to Richmond (where the tank is stored) two weeks to prefab some of the new piping. It's going into a rather tight spot, so between the crane lift and the process piping, it'll be interesting.
