COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
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?
ReplyDeleteFlow restriction for a 5x30 hydraulic cylinder?
ReplyDeleteStereo cooking insert holder? Seems too heavily engineered for that, but it's an unexpected choice, so has a chance.
ReplyDeleteNope. NJT is on the right track, but not close.
ReplyDeleteLooking 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.
ReplyDeleteThank 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?
ReplyDeletePressure relief valve of some sort?
ReplyDeleteCP88 @ 8:31 AM: You're getting close.
ReplyDeleteNJT @ 8:45 AM: Nope.
Perhaps either a fire gas (halon, perhaps) discharge nozzle or a fire fighting spray nozzle?
ReplyDeleteFuel injection nozzle?
ReplyDeleteLike in a big diesel engine?
Ah no, given the diameter ratios, I now think it's for a gas turbine.
ReplyDeleteFuel injection nozzle. Like a big water tube boiler?
ReplyDeleteNJT: Bingo!
ReplyDeleteIt'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...
ReplyDeleteThe Navy would have serial number control and highly machined close to over-engineered qualities on a part like that.
ReplyDeleteNice, 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).
