[Dsg-mvt] Request new manometer for Eel premix gas system + interlock

[Brian Eng]

Hi Franck,

It could be nearly empty, but it is also just as likely to be that the pressure is to low for the gauge.

Generally those are spec'd to a few percent but only in the range of 25-75% of the scale, since we already start way below that there's no way to really tell exactly what the pressure in the bottle is. Not to mention the first tick mark is 200 psi, which isn't much below what the bottle is filled to.

Hopefully this will be improved when the 600 psi gauges that Matt approved are installed, which is currently in procurement with a buyer assigned.

For the time being you guys can monitor the low pressure side for changes, when it can't maintain 15psi is when the bottle is almost empty.

Is your Argon sniffer still at JLAB or did that go back to Saclay?
