You can place it on the roof, but not on the sides. Blowing wind can create a "rain shadow" on one side, with drops blocked as they fall. Alternately, projections from the building could funnel rain from a large wall area into the gauge.

What is the purpose of seawall construction?

The purpose of seawall construction is to improve properties near water by preventing the water from eroding or flooding the land near the property. Erosion and flooding can do serious damage to the property and can cause problems for building built near water.

What is the best type of ground to put a building on?

Firm ground not suffering from shrinkage or expansion. Rock is the firmest. Sandy ground will require piled foundations. Clay will require investigation into shrinkage with the seasons. Avoid building near tall trees - especially poplars that have large root networks that can affect the foundations over time.


How do you do a motor and gear box alignment using two dial gauge?

Crankshaft flywheel flange runout.The crankshaft flywheel flange must be perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the crank with no permissible runout. Place a dial gauge on the bell housing and position the tip against the flywheel flange, parallel to the crank axis. (Perpendicular to the flange surface). Zero the gauge. Rotate the crank slowly by hand and watch for any movement. Any runout must be eliminated (because it will be compounded by the radius of the flywheel.)Flywheel friction face and rim face runout.With the flywheel now mounted to the crank, Place a dial gauge (magnetic clamp or mechanical clamp) to the bell housing and point the dial gauge perpendicular to the clutch friction face on the flywheel. Slowly rotate the crank and check for variation (runout). Maximum permissible runout is 0.01mm per 10mm of flywheel radius. Thus for a typical 300mm dia flywheel, max runout is 0.15mm (0.006"). (Runout here could cause rapid wear of the clutch splines or the driven plate breaking away from the splined hub due to continual flexing.)Reposition the dial gauge to point at a smooth piece of the flywheel near the starter gear teeth (rim), once again parallel to the direction of the crank. Slowly rotate the crank and note any runout or warp in the flywheel. The same maximum permissible runout applies here.Bellhousing (gearbox) runoutRepeat the exercise with the dial gauge clamped to the flywheel/clutch assembly pointing out (radially) to the bell housing locating the dial gauge point on the machined face of the bell housing that locates the gearbox. (At right angles to crank direction). Check for radial run out. Maximum permissible runout is 0.20mm or 0.008".

Why you cannot place a rain gauge near trees?

Improper readings could result because of rain being diverged from the gauge by the trees leaves, or dripping water could also affect them.

Well first you have to look for supposedly haunted places near you. Then if you wish to investigate that place and it is on private property you will need to get permission from the owner. If the building is older you will also need to make sure the building is stable and suitable for movement.
