A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.
Slava Ukraini!

Well, it lools like a fancy steel. You don't stamp on numbers to pot metal castings. And it has a way to be dogged down with a spanner. Those holes.... Some sort of gas jet thingy?
Flow restriction for a 5x30 hydraulic cylinder?
Stereo cooking insert holder? Seems too heavily engineered for that, but it's an unexpected choice, so has a chance.
Nope. NJT is on the right track, but not close.
Looking some more, seems likely to have 5 small holes and 5 slots and is also hard to tell scale. Can't tell if that's another hole at the top of the slot, or discoloration. Doesn't feel right as a flow restrictor, the holes seem too small. Also, I see no way to secure the item from the side we see, so it likely is either self-contained or is secured from the bottom, where we can't see it.
Thank you, young lady. Smaller than I imagined, but matches what I figured from "below". Certainly looks mil-spec. Trying to imagine how you would tighten it down from above, so it seems likely it stands proud. Some form of discharge nozzle?
Pressure relief valve of some sort?
CP88 @ 8:31 AM: You're getting close.
NJT @ 8:45 AM: Nope.
Perhaps either a fire gas (halon, perhaps) discharge nozzle or a fire fighting spray nozzle?
Fuel injection nozzle?
Like in a big diesel engine?
Ah no, given the diameter ratios, I now think it's for a gas turbine.
Fuel injection nozzle. Like a big water tube boiler?
NJT: Bingo!
It's a mechanical fuel-atomization nozzle for a naval boiler.
Shoulda recognized for the time the snipes had me put on a poopy suit and crawl inside there...
The Navy would have serial number control and highly machined close to over-engineered qualities on a part like that.
Nice, would it be the steam type?

CP88: No. Steam atomization went away when the navy converted from Bunker C to NSFO (similar to diesel fuel).
