Replaced the custom silver gaskets on the entrance window panel of TM1 this morning...this has eliminated an sign of leak at this joint, however there appears to still be a leak somewhere...a good distance from the vcr joints of the window as we are getting a drift response.
Chad sprayed helium to soldering stems in containment box which we suspected with leak last week. With 1second click on helium, after 80 seconds waiting time , the LD started to show leak up to 3xe-9atm.cc/sec.
Chad sprayed helium close to service tray and vacuum chase. with 1second click on helium , after 30 seconds waiting time, the LD started to show leak up to 2Xe-8 atm.cc/sec.
After this test, we knew the leak is somewhere in service tray or service cap, but not the soldering stems in containment box we suspected before.The further investigation is needed. |
