To you all that help me with finding reasons for clogging: pump is Camelot 642-1, carbide housing and auger with following data - thread depth is 85microns - thread pitch is 1,500 microns - thread peripherical is polished to Ra 40nm /TIR 300 nm - thread shallow part is polished to Ra 1.5um/TIR 7um - pressure at syringe level is 2 psi. Needle removed: still clogging in the pump! Ain't she sweet! Don't know if Tim wanted to be on his own. Some people do not want to cry out details worldwide. /Ingemar ############################################################## TechNet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ############################################################## To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TECHNET To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TECHNET ############################################################## Please visit IPC web site (http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm) for additional information.
