1. Resource Description

   ESF project support comes under four categories: 1) New Funded Grants: The ESF supports researchers in planning proposals that will utilize ESF capabilities. For funded grants, the support should ideally begin at the early proposal stage. In consultation with the researcher, ESF can suggest practical and creative ways of obtaining and recording the desired data. 2) Support for Ongoing Funded Programs: The Engineering Support Facility has personnel and experience to repair and maintain laboratory instruments and equipment. In some cases, the existing laboratory instruments need some custom enhancements or adaptations for the particular science in view. ESF has experience going back over 35 years in custom modifications and enhancements to existing instruments. 3) Machine Shop: The ESF has a well-equipped machine shop and an expert instrument maker. 4) Pressure Test Facilities: The ESF operates a hydraulic pressure test vessel that can test pressure cases from 15 to 10,000 psia, with electronic feed-thru capability. The test vessel can accommodate objects up to 30 inches in outside diameter by 13 feet length.
