Hello,
I have a Zeagle-branded, Apeks-made first stage. Basically, a version of Apeks FST. This year I decided to service it myself.
I am not sure how to judge the quality of the MP lock-up and where the lock-up ends and creep starts. (Some make it sound like there is an easily discernible wall that the needle hits before the creep starts. For me it looks more like the needle is slowing down... almost like a capacitor charging. Yes, I am an EE
)
So, I thought I would just take a couple of video clips and ask our regulator experts for their opinions
500 PSI (OK, this one does look like hitting a wall!):
2400 PSI:
3200 PSI:
There is no pressure rise beyond what is shown in the three clips.
So... how did I do? The manual says 0.25 bar creep is OK.
Thanks!
Bart
