Someone's email reminded me of this a few minutes ago... I thought it was worth sharing... There is a gadget called a "radiological isolator" that is used to keep the liquid from gages in the contaminated systems from contacting the $30,0000 precision gage calibrator. One of the first things I ever did after qualifying was to get the radiological isolators ready for use and replace the diaphrams and seals. I get the usual brown envelope. "Diaphram, Radiological Isolator, 1 each, MIl-SPEC-xxxx" So I lay out my tools. Get the isolator out and sit it on the workbench. Mark off an area as a "contamination control area, FME area, Radiological Area". I open the packages of the gaskets and isolator diaphram. And the CPO comes running trying to find out why I was cackling so hard. Diaphram, Radiological Isolator, 1 ea.... was a Trojan (Unlubricated) and it costs $45 each. Stefan
