    Pressure sensor with approximately 100 psi working range, but 10,000 psi proof pressure.

    I am in need of a pressure sensor that can accurately (within +/- 5 psi) measure pressures within the 0-200 psi range or so, but have a proof pressure that is >10,000 psi. Does something like this exist off-the-shelf? We tried using this, but we found it wasn't accurate enough in the range we...

    Controlling position of a cross hole on a cylinder

    Ah I think I understand now. I wasn't aware of the the importance of the direction of the width leader line.

    Controlling position of a cross hole on a cylinder

    chez311, Thanks for confirming. Yes, I intentionally left out the control of the hole along the cylinder axis, but based on this thread I would add in the control as follows (see attached). And yes my Datum A is incorrectly called out--I was in a rush to post the question. I've also tried to...

    Controlling position of a cross hole on a cylinder

    That sounds like exactly what I attached, correct? I guess my broader question is: can I use a tolerance zone constructed of two parallel planes to control the position of a hole? I have this idea in my head the hole positions can only be controlled with cylindrical tolerance zones. This is a...

    Controlling position of a cross hole on a cylinder

    I want to control the position of a cross hole on a cylinder. The tolerance zone I want to create is 2 parallel planes .030" apart (see the blue in the image attached). Basically, I want to make sure the hole goes through the center of the cylinder, but I want to give manufacturing as much...
