The East Entrance module has been moved from the south west silo to the east target station. The move went well.

Today:

1) Installed new cradle and shortened beam pipe section in wall penetration.

- Removed tank dust cover from flange and cleaned

- Held flange faces together from 2A tunnel side to check alignment, slightly biased to the East axially and a small gap present in the top when resting

2) Prepared new 2A window

- Connected preswaged  (1/2 turn) swagelok nuts to the existing copper lines in the target hall, 1/4 turn from finger tight, 3/4 turns total

- Leak checked cooling lines with pressurized air at 75psi and snoop, no leaks were found at the joint

- Grooves were cleaned and helicoflex delta seals were installed with vacuum grease used in the periphery to hold ring in window, applied at 6 points every 60deg

3) Window installation

- Lowered window into position by cooling lines

- Window located into tank flange first then slid beam pipe towards it, capturing the window with seals

- Lowered clamp into place in hole

4) Clamp installation

- Lowered clamp into access hole and started closing clamp with steel RH drive bar

- torqued to 50 ft-lbs collar gap was still ~8"

- Increased torque to 60 ft-lbs then 70 ft-lbs stopped closing of clamp when the displacement did not change between the stop ring and clamp yoke

- It was decided not to continue to close this clamp, more assessment may be necessary

6) We will attempt to pump on the seal in its current configuration, tools have been removed.

The helium pressure test on TM3 HS water line with new Ta target is finished at CS. The circuit is leak tight.. No any response on LD. See pictures.

 The TiC#4 target that is on TM3 was conditioned to 25kV today with the EINZEL lens at 12.5kV. There was one spark shortly after reaching 25kV that reset the bias PS and another one  after the module sat at 25kV for ~30 minutes. Attached is the strip tool data and screen shot. Prior to starting the conditioning the power on the chiller needed to by cycled as the VFD on the fans had tripped due to a recurring inrush problem.

This Monday morning, Chad and I leak checked heat shielding circuit on TM3 with new target installed. The base LR on LD :0.0xE-9 atm.cc/sec, base pressure 0.0xE-4 torr. Chad sprayed helium twice on the VCR joints. No leak has been found. The circuit will be pressured with helium at CS.

TM#3 with TiC#4 has been moved from the south hot cell to the conditioning station.

TiC#4 has been installed onto TM3

Electrical test of TM#3 with TiC#4 attached. See PDF.

TM#3 electrical check at the south hot  cell with no target to give us a base line and show that things are ok with the module for the start of the running year.

David W. has installed two SST Proteus flow meters, model OV7006FTA32, on ITW Heat Shield and Coil. The flow meters are connected to a power supply and a data logger in the electrical room.

The Heat Shield flow meter has SN 00278112 and is on the Black wire pairs and connected to CH3 & CH4 on the logger.

The Coil flow meter has SN 00278113 and is on the Green wire pairs and connected to CH1 & CH2 on the logger.

The first channel (CH1, CH3) is temperature in degrees Celcius and the second channel (CH2, CH4) is flow rate in liters per minute.

A camera has been placed on the logger.

Flow rates today (2014-04-04):

HS        8.2 - 8.3 lpm
COIL    8.0 - 8.1 lpm

Calibration sheets

UPDATE 2014-04-11: Corrected HS to CH3 & CH4.

R. Kuramoto and A. Laxdal measured the distance from the 2A tunnel to the tank flange of ITE. The new fabricated beam pipe with bellows was used to gauge the distance to the tank flange; The flange face of the beam tube was butted up to the tank flange and the beam tube was marked at the plane of the wall. A metal rod was used to gauge the distance to the tank face using the same method.

From the inside of the tunnel wall:

- To tank flange: 45 5/16"

- To ITE vacuum tank face: 49"

See attached PDF.

TM#3 with no target has been moved from the south west silo to the south hot cell.

TM#4 with Ta#42 has been moved to the west target station.

 TM4 with Ta#42 was HV conditioned to 35kV with the optics tray at 17.5kV. There was some vacuum response while ramping but well within normal. Attached is a screen shot and the associated data.

TM#4 with Ta#42 in the conditioning station under vacuum electrical check.

TM#4 with Ta#42 has been moved from the south hot cell to the conditioning station.

Chad and I leak checked TM4 HS line with Ta#42 target on the module. The leak detector base LR 0.0xE-9 atm.cc/sec, base pressure0.0xE-4 torr. Chad applied helium to the joints, and flushed the helium around the target. No leak has been found.I will do helium pressure test on this circuit at CS later.

TM#4 was checked electrically with and without target on it, see attached PDFs for details.

Ta#42 has been installed onto TM4. The "new" 9 pin connector was not an issue...attually went on better than any other previous one. Leaving the mounting screws loose on the target half allowed use of the manipulator to center the pins and insert them with ease.

TM#4 has been moved from the west target station to the south hot cell.
