Hi all,
As some of you know, I have been setting up some equipment to
measure the T1and T2 times for some common liquids. They are both
easy to measure if you have a large sensor with lots of turns.
Anyway ... my results so far. For T2
distilled, de-oxygenated water 2.5 seconds
tap water 1.43 seconds
kerosene 1.06 seconds
T1 is harder to measure accurately and I only have the figure
for kerosene - it is close to 1 second (+/- 10% or so).
I post this because the time for kerosene is twice what I
expected it to be. In the literature, I have always seen a figure
of about 1/2 second. I measure twice that!
My measurements will continue - I'm going to try diesel fuel
which ought to be similar to kerosene since it is mostly kerosene.
I'll try any liqid anyone would like to suggest - the caveat is that
it shouldn't dissolve PVC since that is what my form is constructed
from.
By the way, I now have some nice digital recordings (.WAV files)
for the proton signal here. If anyone would like to hear one, send
me some mail and I'll send one to you attached to Email. The file
is rather large to send 'attach'd to this mail which goes to this
whole list.
