Subject: Argon supply opened for ITE vent 

Around 7pm tonight I opened the main valve approximately 1.5 turns on the Argon bottle used for venting ITE, located in the ISAC electrical room. The cylinder pressure gauge increased to about 1500 psi. I adjusted the secondary regulator (pressure relief valve) until it read 2psi. I opened the needle valve in the vent line completely. The pressure on the pressure relief valve dropped slightly and I adjusted it again until it read 2psi. The Argon supply should be ready for venting ITE w/ TM4. The station should be vented around midnight to prepare for TM4 disconnect tomorrow morning. If there are problems with the venting process, an operator should check the pressure on the secondary regulator / pressure relief valve to ensure it is reading 2psi. - Grant Minor
