A hole was drilled in the NHC exhaust duct in the east end of the target hall above the hatch to the Ante Room.  This will be used for measuring NHC exhaust flow rate with a thermal anemometer.  The hole was tapped and plugged with an NPT tap.

Flow was measured in the existing hole in the SHC exhaust duct in approximately the same location.  Flow velocity was measured to be 1415 ft/min with the lid on the SHC.  Using duct ID 7.75", and assuming the average flow velocity is 90% of the flow at duct center, the flow rate was found to be 417cfm.  We will attempt to match this figure for the NHC when the ventilation tests are performed.  The tests have been scheduled for the maintenance day on Tuesday August 9th.

The anemometer probe and SHC test port plug were checked for contamination: none found.
