I did a leak check on TM1 window circuit 2 soldering stems in service cap.The round side panel was opened for the job. I sprayed helium on the stems for 10 seconds. The leak detector got a tiny response(from 0.0xE-9 atm.cc/sec to 2.0xE-9 atm.cc/sec). The test repeated again. The second time, LD climbed to 1.2xE-9atm.cc/sec. It looks like there is a very tiny leak on the stems soldering spots. But , this is not the same leak we found from SHC helium spray which LD climbed to 1.4xE-8atm.cc/sec with only one click helium spray by Chad.
Because of the high air flow at SHC when the round panel is removed, The result is not conclusive. The same test is done at silo without airflow. We found a big leak on this soldering stems . See later e-log. |
