h1. Pilot Plant Meeting Minutes


h2. Spring 2009 Minutes


h3. 2-27-2009


h5. Accomplishments

* All baffles disassembled and hardware removed
* Baffles placed on PVC pipes and several spacers/washers were created with different types of tubing
** Best tubing was selected: polyethylene (PEX)
* Prepared for teach-in on Monday
*  

h5. Outcomes

* Have 3/8" ID PEX, which works but is a little bit harder to work with than potentially using 5/8" which would fit better over the PVC pipe.
* Ordered tubing from McMasterCarr.

h5. Issues

* ID of PEX tubing too small.  HomeDepot and Lowes do not have required tubing, so need to order from McMasterCarr.
** Not sure if bending radius of PEX tubing will allow us to snap it over the PVC or not
** Are ordering product# 5181K28 from McMasterCarr: 5/8" ID Crack-Resistant Polyethylene Tubing
