Maybe support the osc on beads of RTV. That would both break the thermal path and provide a little shock (vibration) isolation.
Some notebook PCs mount the hard drive in gel for shock. -----Original Message----- From: Malcolm <g0...@aol.com> Sender: time-nuts-boun...@febo.com Date: Fri, 6 Jan 2012 19:34:37 To: <time-nuts@febo.com> Reply-To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement <time-nuts@febo.com> Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Thermal insulation choice? I would recommend and have used 1/4 inch polystyrene foam that is available in roll form from DIY stores and either glue or double sided tape. It is easily workable and cheap and achieves what you want. There is a caveat in that you should also use nylon or other (heat) insulating washers and nylon nuts and bolts to attach the oven to the case. Otherwise you will loose heat through conduction and introduce cold spots to the oven Regards Malcolm _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
