My Final Project- Automatic glycerin filling system for pressure gauges.

Research

For my final project I will resume a prototype that still is a work in progress. An Automatic glycerin filling system for pressure gauges.

In the pressure gauges business is important that some of them are filled with glycerin, this to ensure the accuracy of the measurements, avoid spikes on the indicator and absorb the movements to which the pressure gauge may be exposed. Some companies still fill the pressure gauge manually resulting in high human error which contributes to the waste of glycerin and time. The purpose of this project is to make the process 100% automatic to save time and glycerin, resulting in potentials savings to the company.

Currently this is my prototype, which I want to upgrade in the next 5 months of hard work.

These are the improvements I want to make:

• Faster filling process.
• Expand the band to have more pressure gauges in the system.
• Have a stop/start system.
• Add a Storage/collection area.
• Have a remote access system in which has a record of all the glycerin used and number of manometers filled.
• Adapt the height of the filling system to accommodate the size of the pressure gauges.
• Use a laser detection system.
• Use of stronger materials.
