Greetings Treasure netters, I'm the 'lost freight' man way down here in NZ and I have a fine piece of 'something ' for everyone to get there heads around. It arrived by airfreight, from Singapore (I think) and the only identifying mark is this HVT100202NZ, on the box. It is a well made cylinder,an engineered piece measuring....
760mm long x 210mm od wide (190mm id)
there is a milled flange type collar on one end, when I first saw it I thought it was a sleeve for a oilwell mud pump, but I've shown it to several oil field supply folks down here, and they are still scratching their heads.
I get a lot of unusual things down here being at the end of the air freight run, this is where the air lines unload all their goodies...and that's where I come in.
Hope you can help
Lewis

Ok folks I've read the collective thoughts of you all and I think it begins to make sense, I think it's off a large earthmoving machine, thinking Bucyrus/Terex, I tried that company in Australia and US, they didn't recognize the HVT part number, but I think we're on the right track.

I've loaded some more pics guys, in order down they are....
1 x View fro the top looking down the internal bore 190mm ID
2 x Bottom showing internal flange, outer bore is smooth after top flange, milled smooth
3 x total outer bore 760mm smooth (red dustpan for size)
4 x Outer shot of travel box with HVT100202NZ
5 x top flange

Kia ora Mate.
Welcome to T'Net :icon_thumleft:
I heard about this today. Interesting item.
Could you show more pics please (we love good pics here )
- the other end, the bore, anything,
even the labels on the crate.
Include something to give an idea of scale.

I have a couple of thoughts regarding the potential use of the item,
but will research them better before I make a prat of meself, as I am apt to do.

Cheers, Mike

Edit: Also, can you tell how the end flange is attached to the body of the cylinder? Is it welded or threaded fitting?

I'm with Mike (Hey Mike!). We need as much information as you can give. More pics of the item and the crate. Please put something in the pictures for size reference - like a soft drink can. Also, what kind of metal is it?

Cylinder sleeve for a diesel engine ? Just a guess. Something to compare the size would help too. Here in the US we measure stuff in inches and it's too early in the morning to do any complicated math conversions from mm...

I go with the cylinder sleeve. There is a grove for a "O" ring and the lip at thr top is where the head rest to hold it in place.

Those ore and earth moving machines would have cylinders that big. They use a huge diesel to operate an even larger electric motor. Also I use to watch flight line mechanics replace the jugs on the old Connie aircraft and they looked that big, but I never measured one. Just Info as I don't know what it is myself. Monty

I did wonder - I did a quick search and found that, but I suspect Snowhite is only spreading the word, so to speak.

If I don't know Snow :icon_scratch: - I know one of his mates, because I was asked about the name of this forum and the item was described to me, before it appeared here. I'll chase him/them up for more pics - meantime, I had thought maybe a big diesel cylinder sleeve as suggested by NHBandit and supported by others :icon_thumleft:

The HVT on the crate, is almost too easy to be a giveaway (or is it?) Heavy Vehicle Transport :headbang:
Need more pics!

I was thinking diesel engine cylinder sleeve as well. This one would be tiny in comparison to some of them used on boats.

Agreed. When talking diesel engines size dosn't matter... I have a friend who was a machinist in the Navy who tells of cylinders on diesel engines in some ships that are big enough to stand inside.

It couls also be a piston sleeve for gas compresors. They have very large pistons that compress natural gas for distribution in pipelines or to pump back downhole for "Gas-Lift" situations.

The proportions are wrong for any type of engine cylinder sleeve. It looks more like the inner cylinder of a two stage hydraulic cylinder. Tony

I agree... I completely overlooked the length of this thing. It can't be an engine sleeve. As long of a stroke at it has, there is no way it could be used in an engine. Hydraulics does fit the bill.

I googled HVT100202NZ and upcame a sight that led me to the Rayglass NZ offshore powerboat race. Then I googled Rayglass boats, looked up parts but you have to submit a request. You might start there. Click the link, then "find a part" then ask about the number and wait for a response.
Hope this helps and good luck.

I have to agree that it's probably not a cylinder sleeve for an engine upon looking at the new picture that shows the length of the part. Of course that pic was added AFTER many of us made that guess.... :hello: I think it's a very expensive umbrella stand...

OH! No wonder I missed it the first time around. I was trying to figure out how i could have missed the pic showing how long it is.
